It’s a fact: staged homes sell faster for more money.

Now more than ever a house on the market must show well. Buyers’ taste is influenced by HGTV and makeover shows. And their expectations are high. Our affordable staging services can make the difference between a house that sells and one that lingers on the market, fetching a mediocre price. With an interior designer on staff, we can provide consultative assessments as well as hands-on staging.

The Assessment

Two organizers visit your home or workspace for about 1.5 hours. We look, listen and ask questions. Then we define your goals and write up specific changes to get you there. At the end of the assessment, we'll take your donation, deliver them and send you an itemized receipt!

The Customized Plan

For the true Do-It-Yourselfer, this is all you need to organize step-by-step. The plan shows exactly what to do, sort, and buy for each space. It includes the "wow!" ideas you would never think of, and recommendations for specific products and services. Just check things off as you do them.

The Work Session

Need help? We'll send you two energetic, supportive organizers to work with you in a 3-hour work session. Side by side, we sort, purge, rearrange, containerize, label and anything else that needs doing. We guide you on what to keep, donate, sell, and toss. We'll take whatever you aren't keeping and deliver it where it needs to go.

Our Staging Story

Okay we admit it…we “staged” these photos! We were doing a presentation about getting your house ready to sell, and we wanted photos to illustrate a very important staging concept. Though you may live with your sofa planted in front of the TV, the rules are different when your house is on the market.

 A room should appear open and uncluttered to a buyer. These pictures show how the sofa blocks entry to the room and obscures the fireplace when it’s in front of the TV. By moving the sofa to the wall, the room opens up, making it seem both larger and more inviting. So Caitlin, keep your sofa on the wall!”
