Staging FAQs: Why Can't You Just Give Me a Price?

By
Home Stager with Owner, The Refreshed Home White Plains NY

Welcome back to FAQs-where YES, I can just give you...ANSWERS!

"Why can't you just give me a price?" seems like a simple enough question...reinforced by my recent experimentation with an online referral service. Well sure, if there was an accepted quantifiable standard for a beautifully decorated home, or a successfully staged property. But success, and happiness is in the eye of the beholder>>> fluid at best, and THAT is where, and why most people get stuck.

If Interior Decorating and Home Staging were a tangible product-like a gallon of milk, or a set of tires, it'd be easy to research, compare and price.

If Interior Decorating and Home Staging were a defined and finite service-like getting your hair cut, or hiring a sitter, you'd know when it was over, and how much it'd cost you.

But Interior Decorating and Home Staging are personal services consider all the clients circumstances before arriving at a solution. At The Refreshed Home how it works for the individual is just as important as how it looks. 30+ years in this field, every day I see how experience matters, and kindness counts.

So-first and formost, hiring this Westchester County Interior Decorator is a commitment to start a journey, and to find and trust this person to go through that with you.

Bringing this Westchester County Home Stager in for a consult starts an exploration process and reinforces your desire/need to sell a property and move on with your life.

"I don't know" may be a sales pitch in some businesses, but it's a fair answer when people I've never met ask me for a number on a space I've never seen.

Excellent post Marie.  So many things come into play when decorating for a client.  There is no way you can put a price tag on it, and even difficult to give a ballpark figure.

Exactly Roger!  And potential clients create their own Catch-22 by assuming there is "A" price, but not wanting to take a few minutes to talk about it and get info they can actually use.

Hi Sheila! First-SO nice to always be greeted by your 'Good Morning" :)  But it's really as simple as starting a conversation with someone you trust....

Thank you Patty! Appreciate that you appreciate it!
