What is Home Staging?Home staging involves preparing a home for sale by expertly arranging the right furnishings, accessories, and artwork that result in a warm, inviting space that appeals to a broad range of home buyers. Decluttering and depersonalizing is another crucial element of the home staging process. By highlighting a home's key features and fostering a sense of flow and scale, home staging showcases your property's full potential. Making the property feel spacious, comfortable, and inviting invariably leads to a quicker sale at a higher price.

Staging
Occupied
For sellers who will continue to live in their home while it is on the market, we can help you edit and curate your own environment to optimize the selling experience.
We work with the clients' own furnishings, redesigning the spaces to maximize their appeal to a broad target audience. For some homes, that may mean simplifying and rearranging furniture and decor, while other homes may benefit from a curated supplemental selection of our own furnishings to update and best showcase the home.
Staging
Vacant
For sellers who will be leaving their homes without furniture while it is on the market, we bring life back to the shell. Vacant homes tend to take longer to sell and often receive lower offers than comparable furnished homes. Many buyers struggle to imagine how furniture and flow would work in the spaces, and that uncertainty diminishes their confidence in placing an offer.
We provide furnishings that fit the style and the location of the home, along with decor and artwork from our own curated collection. We tailor our selections to appeal to the target market, capturing their imagination and creating a connection that says "Yes! This is the home for me!"
