Susan's Complete Home Staging Experience is a Three Step Process

Consultation & Detailed Report

Your staging experience begins with a full assessment of your property and the evaluation of your home's market appeal. Your stager will discuss flooring, walls, ceiling, windows, furniture arrangement, focal points, and anything that needs to be pre-packed, re-arranged, repaired or replaced. Each client will receive a personalized report based on their specific needs. The report will explain what is required to be completed before the property goes on the market.

Staging Preparation

The next step is preparing your home to be showcased. Your detailed report will provide you with specific suggestions on how to quickly transform your home into that “move-in” condition buyers are looking for. This step must be completed before the actual showcasing takes place.

Showcasing

Showcasing is the last step and is arranged just before the photos are taken. Susan's team will stage your home, showcasing it to it's greatest potential. Showcasing involves a design plan to successfully capture the interest of buyers. There is more value to a potential buyer when they view a property that is not only attractive but appeals to them as a home that they can easily envision themselves living in. Furniture, lighting, art and accessories will be provided from Susan's staging inventory. Selections will be based on what is more needed and what is best suited for your property.

Vacant Properties

Susan understands the important of first impression and the true benefits of staging.  If the home you are selling is vacant, potential buyers will find it hard to make sense of a floor plan without furniture as a guide. Susan's staging development will design and furnish your property inspiring buyers to imagine living there. Furniture, lighting, art and accessories will be provided from Susan's staging inventory.
