STAGING IS STATISTICALLY PROVEN TO SHORTEN MARKET TIME, AND IN MANY CASES INCREASE SELLING PRICE.
Houston Home Staging & Katy Home Staging are both dedicated to the marketing and merchandising of Real Estate in the Houston/Katy area. Our goal is to create an environment for your buyer that is so enticing; they can't resist submitting a bid for your property.
Thus far, nearly 50% of our staged homes have received bids within hours or days of the staging. Statistically, homes that receive bids in the first fourteen days, sell for list, or higher-than-list price! This statistic is true of homes priced from $100,000 to homes over $1,000,000. This statistic can be validated if you watch the four episodes of Property Ladder on TLC that we staged in Houston. Two of the homes were very well done, (but not perfect) and received immediate reaction from the market (bids and contracts). The other two homes were well staged, but failed to sell because the seller overlooked major condition issues. In the other homes that we've staged we see a consistent pattern: homes that sell are clean, uncluttered, freshly painted, updated carpet, better-than-average kitchens and bathrooms. Surprisingly, clean garages with freshly painted floors and walls are a big assist in getting the buyer to react.
Houston Home Staging began as a small operation in December of 2005. The owner (Jim Harrington) and Lead Designer (Tom Scanlon) were asked by a neighbor to assist in the presentation of an investment property that was poorly located, but otherwise in good condition. Harrington and Scanlon had achieved success in their own real estate transactions by staging their own properties and they expanded upon their experience and this new opportunity in Houston to create the business that you see today. Katy Home Staging is the newest branch of their home staging business!

Ask your Realtor how many of their listings go to contract that quickly? At Houston Home Staging we are looking for houses that can join our roster of success stories. As such, we don't accept every job. We will work with our clients to make sure that their house is in the best condition possible. If the property is not in ‘better-than-average' condition there's no point in continuing to the staging process. However, for only $145 (price effective 06.01.08 thru 12.30.08) you can have one of our stagers consult you on the preparation of your property.
We have a variety of staging packages and services that can be priced to fit any budget. As you can see from our roster of success stories, we work in many different price ranges. We can provide a complete package of furniture, artwork, plants, and other accessories ($1000 minimum), or we can offer a service that utilizes your furnishings and accessories ($500 minimum). Staging just one room is ineffective so we won't do that, and if you have budget concerns we do offer a variety of payment plans - so don't be afraid to ask!
