Cutting through the C.R.A.P. when choosing the right Home Stager!

By
Home Stager with Interior Motiv Home Staging

Consultation Fee:  Most consults range from $75 - $200.00.  Look for one that applies your fee towards the staging job or better yet...is FREE!    

Reputation:  Ask for testimonials, references and/or recommendations.  Make sure your getting experience and knowledge with your service not just an opinion.  

Ask:  Get the proposals in writing and make sure the labor and installation are included.  They shouldn't mind spelling it out for you.  And get at least 3 bids for comparison.  

Preview:  Look at a current listing by the stager.  Most homebuyers don't want to spend a lot to get the home market ready but keep in mind, the goal is to make the home look it's best.  The less expensive route isn't always best.  

A well-staged home looks beautiful, clutter free and depersonalized.  You want buyers to see themselves in your home and not your family.  You want to appeal to everyone and not just a few.  That's the point of staging!   So while sifting through to find the best Stager, check out Interior Motiv.   Experienced, competitive, and FREE vacant evaluations!

I loved the acronymn.  Your absolutely right...homeowners just don't understand the differences in the services everyone provides, or should I say the lack of services some stagers provide.
