OUR SERVICES

When to Schedule Your Consultation

A home staging consultation is a strategic walkthrough of your home designed to help you prepare for the market with confidence. During this one-on-one consultation, we evaluate your home inside and out and provide clear, actionable recommendations to highlight its best features, improve flow, and position it to appeal to the widest range of buyers - all using your existing furnishings whenever possible.

During your consultation, we will:

Walk through your home together, inside and out
Recommend strategic updates that can increase your home’s perceived value
Identify which furniture and décor to use, adjust, or store
Offer guidance on layout, styling, and overall presentation
Discuss any hands-on staging services that may further prepare your home for sale

Consultations

For best results, we recommend scheduling your consultation as soon as you’ve decided to sell.

Meeting with a staging professional early allows you to make informed decisions before investing time or money into updates—helping you focus on the changes that will deliver the greatest return.

Why Staging Before You List Matters

When recommendations are implemented, a staging consultation:

Helps you stand out in listing photos

PHOTO PREP SERVICES

TIP

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
Steaming of bed and linens
Styling bookshelves and built ins
Small furniture placement, and much more.

For maximum impact and minimum disruption to your family, schedule your Photo Prep Session right before the marketing pictures will be taken.

VACANT HOME STAGING

Vacant Home Staging

First Impression Home Staging will:

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-person as well as through the listing photos. Appropriately-sized furnishings also help your buyers envision their own items in the home.

Consult with you on which spaces are the most important to have staged 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.

investment & details

Buyers aren’t just purchasing a home — they’re investing in a dream.

Staging investments begin at $3,000 and include design, delivery, installation, up to one month of inventory rental, and pick-up. Pricing varies based on the size of the home, price point, number of rooms staged, and location.
