Time to De-clutter and stage
Once all of the paperwork is complete, I’ll walk through your home room by room with you to create a comprehensive list of items that need to be decluttered, furniture that needs to be moved or put in storage, and together we’ll determine whether we need to bring in a professional stager to stage either certain rooms or the entire property. Unless the property is vacant, we usually don’t need a stager. Instead, I may bring artwork and small pieces of furniture for free to augment the furniture you already have in your home. If your home is vacant and we do need a stager, we’ll arrange for several companies to provide us with quotes. Once we’ve picked a stager, you would pay the staging company directly for their services. Here are some great before and after photos highlighting why staging a vacant home is so important.
Here is my complete staging/decluttering checklist. Remember, I’ll create a personalized list just for your home. Once the staging/decluttering is done, I can schedule an appointment with the photographer to take professional photos of your home.
