VACANT; MODEL or SPEC HOME STAGING

 

   
       
 

Industry experts will tell you that vacant homes do not sell as well as furnished spaces.  They also don’t show well on the internet.   Over 80% of buyers go to the web first.  Don’t let them look at a blank space.  Paint a picture for them.

We provide a Home Staging Consultation and Vacant Staging Estimate.   A portion of the consultation fee will be credited to Home Staging Services.  Every home is unique and requires a custom plan.   Staging Impressions has a wide variety of furniture and accessories to chose from to warm  empty spaces and works with reputable rental companies to augment furnishings when needed.   We will work with Builders on custom budgets or purchasing options.  Call us today to discuss your needs.

Staging Impressions is proud to announce that they had the First 3 Properties Sold in 2008’s Parade of Staged Homes.  This is an annual event sponsored by the International Association of Home Staging Professionals or IAHSP.    Call us to discuss your needs today!

 
     
     

ENHANCEMENTS for OCCUPIED HOUSES

 

Still live in your home and getting ready to sell?  Been on the market and not getting offers? Confused as to why your property hasn’t sold.

 

We can work with you to enhance your property using one of our plans below to make sure you are market ready and stand out from the competition in your neighborhood.  A Staging Consultation is great when you want to know what is needed to get your house in Market Ready Condition, but you want a budget friendly solution and have the means to implement the recommendations yourself.   Many DIY fans and clients looking for cost effective staging options select consultations.

 

 

WALK-THRU HOME STAGING CONSULTATION


With the Walk-Thru Home Staging Consultation you get the benefit of our Home Staging experience;
third party objective eyes going through your property inside and out; a plan to get you on the path to a sale in the shortest amount of time possible.  You take notes and implement the plan.

 

Our average Walk-thru consultation is $200.00 which includes two and half hours of our advice and as much furniture, art and accessory arrangement that can be done during our visit.  Additional time and service are billed at our hourly rate. 

 

Example:    Recently we assisted a family preparing a home as an estate sale.  We met with them and helped determine what furnishings to keep and what to sell; arranged furniture; made condition upgrade recommendations to replace the carpet.  We also arranged to come back and rent them a few pieces of art and accessories the next day.  The condo went up over July 4th weekend and sold in 2 weeks.

 

 

HOME STAGING WRITTEN CONSULTATION REPORT

 

If you prefer to have a detailed written plan including priorities, furniture arrangement recommendations, art and accessory recommendations, then this is the plan for you.  We again cover the interior and exterior curb appeal.

 

We go through the exterior and interior of the property and outline a road map for each and every room.  The first visit we go through the house take notes and photos.  We then go away and work up a customized plan and come back to review the report with you.  We can also work with you to come out and visit for the final enhancement for an hour or two or to help you in a specific area like furniture or art arrangement.

 

The price for a written report varies based on the number of rooms and recommendations needed but a range is between $300 and $500.  Again we review it with you and don’t just e-mail the plan.

 

Example:  Our clients had time over the winter to prepare their property and did the work themselves.  Having the roadmap in hand and not relying on notes or memory was instrumental to their success.  They hired us to come back out and help with art arrangement on a gallery wall we were creating.  They had an offer in less than 7 days after going on the market in February.  They were so pleased they hired me for color consultations for their new house.

 

 

HANDS ON HOME STAGING ENHANCEMENTS

 

Don’t have the time or talent to stage your house?  We will put together a staging plan and provide the services needed to get your property in market ready condition.  We might need to reduce clutter, optimize furniture arrangement to show off square footage, warm up rooms that have been neglected or are tired, or tame living and sleeping areas.  You may not have neutral or current art and accessories to showcase your houses full potential.

 

We provide and estimate and create a showcase market ready house.  We package your house into a product ready to appeal to the broadest audience of buyers.  Each house and the staging needs are different so we combine a consultation with the estimate and refund a portion of the consultation when you stage with us. 

 

 

Example:  Last year I worked with a family in Northville.  They were both busy professionals and did not have the time or talent to warm up their house.  It was lacking in furniture and accessories.  We brought in rental furniture, art, accessories and the house went from dull to WOW!  They sold in a little over 30 days.

Moving Transitions 

 

Moving into a new home or downsizing for any reason we can assist you with a Moving Consultation. Often when we move our old life into our new spaces we can’t seem to make them fit. This is especially true if our house size is changing and that can be either up or down! A consultation includes recommendations on furniture placement, accessorizing, editing, and color. Once again we provide a road map of furniture and accessories that can truly turn your new house into your new home.

 We also give special consideration to seniors downsizing or moving into retirement communities.
