Questions + Answers
Q: Is staging the same as decorating? |
A: Staging is NOT Decorating or Design! Decorating or Design is personalizing and Staging is De-Personalizing and preparing a house for the un-known Buyer. That is why it's KEY that you hire someone with training specifically on how to prepare a house for sale. |
|
Q: How much does staging cost? |
A: Staging is an INVESTMENT in getting a house sold and the investment in Staging is always less than a price reduction. Maren always works with your budget and time frame to sell a house. We like to ask our clients, “Can you afford NOT to Stage?” When compared with the other costs associated with the sale of purchase of a home, Staging is very reasonable. In Harringtons Staging, a Staging report detailing what needs to be done to Stage the house for sale is less than the appraisal of Home Inspection reports. |

Q: How long does the staging take |
A: Depending on the project size, we usually require a minimum of 2-3 business days to complete the whole process. |
|

Q: What is your Professional Policy?
A: Our Professional Policies are: |
1. |
On the day that we Stage or Redesign, we need the property to be completely vacant so that only our Team is on the premise. This is to make the Staging/Redesign process as quick as possible. Use this day to meet up with family & friends, hit the park or beach, spend a day at the salon… anything away from the house! We will call you when we're done. |

The process to Staging is different from interior designing. Although some of the Staging companies with a background in interior design may provide a detailed plan of what each space will look like, that's not the case with how we work. Therefore, we ask for your trust to leave the layout and decorating process solely up to our Team. All we can guarantee is that you will be satisfied. |
