The Buffalo News HomeFinderExtra - July Special
:Half-Day, Hands-On $429
The Home Staging Source will come to your house, do a walk-thru consultation and immediately get to work staging for a half-day. Trouble areas and less than desirable furniture layouts will be identified and given priority makeovers designed to insure your home will look better and sell faster than others on the market. You’ll be left with a “to-do” list of any unfinished tasks; as well as the opportunity to book a complimentary offer to do a return visit to your property to fine tune your progress prior to pictures or the open house.
Whether you’re listing a cottage, mansion, ski lodge, trailer home, hunting cabin, vacant family home, or if you're a Senior Citizen in the midst of a transitional move, I implement creative staging techniques and follow set guidelines across the board.
Competitive Pricing :
Keep in mind - The investment in Home Staging will always be less than your first price reduction.
The national average for the investment in staging is 1-3% of the list price of the property. I look at the scope of each project, vacant or occupied, cluttered or sparse and the number of rooms to be staged. My service creates wealth for my clients and I take pride in being the leader in the industry in Western New York.
Consultations:
Walk-Through Consultation - $75/1st hour, $50 each additional hour. An average walk through takes 1-2 hours. The client is given verbal instructions on what should be done in each area to get the property staged. As we walk and talk the client is encouraged to take notes and document recommendations and comments. (Consultation with written report additional $50).
Consultation Return Visit- $50/1st hour. After the staging recommendations are implemented, I will return to the property to fine tune the clients' work. This option is also helpful for assisting the client in putting the final touches on a property about to have photos taken or hold an open house.
Online Consultation - $79 per room. An economical way to get your property staged is through an online consultation. You provide the pictures I provide the recommendations. This is a great option for long-distance clients.
Hands On Staging:
The Home Staging Source will rearrange and stage a home using only the clients’ belongings. The amount of this investment depends on the size of the property and the number of items that need to be packed or moved. During hands-on staging, items may be moved from room to room, rearranged or packed and moved to storage. (An estimate can be provided for clients only wishing to stage individual rooms).
The end result is a thoughtfully-designed aesthetically-pleasing house that is ready to list and is more comfortable and current for everyday living. Upon completion of the staging process, The Home Staging Source can provide the client or Realtor with a photo portfolio for marketing purposes. Call or use the Contact page to request an immediate complimentary estimate.
Vacant Home Staging:
The Home Staging Source will stage the clients’ vacant space by selecting complementary pieces of furniture and home décor from our extensive inventory, thus giving the space model home appeal. Partial rentals can be arranged for sparsely furnished or extremely dated spaces.
Furniture & Home Decor:
The Home Staging Source is unique in the ability to offer an extensive inventory of rental furniture and home decor accessories. This convenient one-stop service alleviates the need for third party rentals and long-term contractual obligations. The investment for this service depends on the look to be achieved and the number of rooms to be staged.
Home décor accessories are items such as: artwork, greenery, bedding, lighting, and accent pieces. These items may be chosen a la carte to add pizzazz to a cold or dated area. The monthly investment a la carte pieces is the industry standard of roughly 20% of the retail value. Call or use the Contact page to request an immediate complimentary estimate.
Note: A deposit is required for new clients in the amount equivalent to one month’s rental fee. This deposit is fully refundable provided items are returned in the same condition and no outstanding rental fees are due.
Staged Style - What is the look you can expect?
The Home Staging Source achieves a look that is appealing to all age groups by creating interiors that are stylish, current, fresh, warm & inviting. Color schemes are generally neutral for broad appeal with pops of color and warmth added through lighting, decorative pillows, interesting accessories, textiles and greenery. The furniture and accessories reflect today’s design trends; however, the basic design concept is to always create timeless interiors that appeal to the general “buying” public.
Each property is staged in a manner which is appropriate to the style of the house. You won’t see the same house over and over again with The Home Staging Source, as the interiors are unique to each home. It is with great satisfaction that I bring sophistication, warmth and charm to any house regardless of its price, architectural attributes or location.Referrals:
