OCCUPIED STAGING

WHAT TO EXPECT...

During Your 2 Hour Staging Consultation

• Your consultation will arrive and get started right away. It's a fast paced two hours!

• You'll start in the front yard and then move throughout the house.

• Plan on taking notes. We cover a lot of information.

• Have boxes handy to place items as we move through the house. Less work later.

• We'll be focusing on showcasing the value of your property so understand our focus on making you money -- not decorating.

• Great marketing photos is the goal.

• We work with your timeframe and budget in mind.

• At the conclusion, your head will be spinning. This is normal.

• Your consultant will prioritize the items discussed in the "Top Ten List." This will keep you from being overwhelmed.

• If there is time left in the two hours, we'll help you get started.

• Remove any personal photos throughout the house.

• If you have a large collection of something, pre-pack them.

• Think about where you will store excess items and furniture.

• Put away any one-of-a-kind, irreplaceable items.

• Pre-pack paperback books and save some handsome hardback books.

• Plants should be luscious and healthy. If not, replace them.

• Pack away any items smaller than a cantaloupe. Save the rest in a "shopping center" area. We may use these items later.

• If you are planning on donating furniture, wait until after we meet. You never know what can help us get your place ready.

• Arrange for your pets to be safe during the consultation.

• We move fast!

• If there is more than one homeowner involved, it is helpful for both of you to be present.

• Have extra light bulbs and lamps handy. Light = $$$!
