Home Staging Interior Design
Whether you want to sell, or redecorate your home / business space, you have come to the right place! Do staged homes sell faster? Want to love where you live? Breathe new life into it!
Staged homes or partially staged homes usually sell faster than empty homes, in most markets. With today's open-concept layouts, staging can be an important tool in helping buyers visualize how a home's living area is best used. If a buyer just tours a large, empty living room, it's hard for them to picture a useful layout, so staging can help paint a picture.
You will ABSOLUTELY LOVE to redecorate your home or business! Even if you aren't selling!
According to the Real Estate Staging Association, unstaged homes spend an average of 184 days on the market before selling. But homes staged prior to listing sold in just 23 days — 8 times faster.

If you don't stage, and opt to leave your house empty, you risk the following:
-
Home defects appear more obvious to buyers.
-
Home can feel cold or uninviting.
-
Property could be more susceptible to break-ins.
-
Seller might appear overly eager to sell.
How much does it cost to stage or redecorate a house?
The cost of home staging varies by the size of your home, whether you’re using your own furniture or staging furniture. You’ll also need to consider the costs of moving some or all of your belongings prior to staging. Even if you use your own furniture to stage, you'll need to move out at least a third of your belongings to effectively declutter and depersonalize your space. Here are a few average staging costs and average moving costs to aid in your decision-making.

Every good real estate company knows a beautifully staged home earns more commission and tends to sell faster than a house that is not. That is why staging homes for us goes way beyond just choosing a chair, sofa, or a rug...
It's an art form.

Cost of full-service home staging or just redecorating
According to the Real Estate Staging Association, a verbal consultation ranges between $200 and $525 for a 2,001- to 2,500-square-foot home. Full vacant-home staging ranges from $2,900 to $5,250, on average.
In addition, this may or may not include the cost of using movers to move your belongings within the same city, to move out of state, or to another country.
This can take between 7 and 10 hours for a 3-bedroom home and cost $560 to $1,000. You may end up paying this twice if you move out early — once from your old home to a storage unit or temporary home, and once again when moving into your new home.
Note: Rental furniture is normally paid by the weekly rate(s). This is a much less expensive alternative than using movers on the norm. The furniture is then delivered by the rental furniture company, and furnishings decor, window treatments, can also be rented for the all inclusive fee(s).
Home Staging costs can also be included and absorbed in the buyer's cost for doing business when the Realtor closes the sale. Realtors can provide up front working budget that gets paid back to them for providing the service at no cost to the buyer if requested ahead of time. It's a win-win formula!
Cost of a storage unit
This can range from $50 a month for a small unit and $300 to $400 for a large unit. Instead of a traditional storage unit, some sellers opt for a pod, which can cost $150 to $300 a month, plus delivery fees, with the benefit of not having to hire movers both ways.
Degrees of home staging
Home staging can take various forms, depending on your financial investment, the amount of prep time you have, and whether you currently live in the home or have already vacated.
Full-service or vacant-home staging
With full-service staging, a professional stager, such as Linda will order the rented furniture to either furnish an entire home or supplement the few items still there. This works best for sellers who have already completely (or mostly) moved out. In some cases, sellers move most of their belongings into storage to make way for the professional staging setup.
Keep in mind that some stagers won't work with sellers who are living on the premises, due to wear and tear on their furniture, some of which, as stated above in the paragraph above, may be rented.
Partial home staging
In partial home staging, a seller hires a professional stager who can provide a variety of services. For example, they can simply consult on changes the seller should make, rearrange furniture and decorative items, or stage a single room. In this situation, the seller may still be living in the home but is moved out or in the process of decluttering and packing.
Virtual home staging
In virtual home staging, the seller can also request a create virtual staging just for the listing photos. This kind of service appeals to sellers who already vacated their home but don't want the expense of bringing a lot of furniture and decor back into the home. Linda Larson can generate virtual staging with basic photographs of the home or space right on her cell phone anywhere, anytime. Once the virtual staging is completed, the photographs will be emailed back to the Realtor or owner directly. This cost is normally between $300-$400, and can save a lot of money out of pocket instead of moving furniture. A great option if buyers are moving here from out of state, such as relocation for military families.
