Home Staging Consultations
When to Schedule Your Staging Consultation
For best results, get your consultation as soon as you’ve decided you want to sell! Speak with the experts before you do anything to be sure you get the best return on your investment. When you schedule your consultation right away, you have the most time possible to prepare your home for a successful sale.
Staging before you list:
- Helps attract maximum attention from listing photos;
- Helps your home appeal to the broadest range of buyers;
- Boosts the likelihood of receiving multiple offers;
- Reduces the chances that you’ll need to lower the price due to a longer time-on-market.
Start with a complimentary call. We’ll listen to your needs and goals, walk you through our home staging process, and answer your questions about our services.
What to Expect from Your Home Staging Consultation
If you choose to move forward with a comprehensive Home Staging Consultation, here’s what you can expect. We’ll:
- Tour your home together, inside and out;
- Recommend the best strategies for increasing your home’s perceived value, and the largest return on investment;
- Identify which of your furnishings and décor are best for staging your home, and which to store;
- Identify any additional hands-on services that would best prepare your home for a successful sale.
Consultations start at $299 for up to two hours, suitable for homes up to 3500 sq ft. Please call or contact us about pricing for larger homes. Virtual Consultations (walking through your home via webcam), are also available for clients outside our local service area.
Photo Prep Services for Selling Your Home
After the Home Staging Consultation and all agreed upon repairs and updates are complete, it’s time for photo prep services to begin.
The greater Cary, NC area is highly competitive, so attracting the best buyers (and the best offers), requires that your listing photos make your home POP. We’ll provide the professional styling and finishing touches needed using the items already found in your home to make those listing photos jaw dropping!
We turn your home into an inviting space with the highest possible perceived value for potential buyers, including:
- art placement
- accessory arrangement
- linens folded to perfection
- small furniture placement, and much more.
TIP: For maximum impact and minimum disruption to your family, schedule your Photo Prep Session right before the marketing pictures will be taken.
Prices start at $750 and will vary depending on the needs of each individual house. Pricing will be determined at the completion of the Home Staging consultation.
Staging Enhancements
Much like a photo prep, we will come in to supplement and balance what is already in the home with our inventory as needed.
Vacant Home Staging
Vacant houses often lack definition and appear smaller than they really are. Staging helps a buyer see the potential of a home and creates an emotional connection — in-persona as well as through the listing photos. Appropriately-sized furnishings also help your buyers envision their own items in the home.
First Impression Home Staging will:
- Consult with you on space and create a plan for turning your vacant home into a buyer’s dream home;
- Draw from our warehouse-full of furniture, accessories and artwork;
- Efficiently and beautifully use just the right pieces to add definition and personality to increasing your home’s perceived value through the art of staging.
Remember, buyers aren’t just buying a home, they are buying a dream! Prices start at $2800 which includes all labor and up to one month of inventory rental and will vary by house. Factors include size of the home, price point of the home, rooms to stage, and location. Please call or contact us for details and a custom quote.
