What is Home Staging?
Home staging, real estate staging, or simply "staging", as it is commonly known is anything that helps a home seller make their home more attractive and appealing to potential buyers.  The exact definition of what staging encompasses does vary, but typically, a home stager can do a variety of things such as; an assessment of your home, suggestions, brings in furniture, artwork, plants, rugs and accessories to make a house look it's best while on the market. 

Sometimes the seller will want to use their own furnishings, and the stager can consult with them on how to reduce clutter, open up rooms more, etc. 

Staging also creates a great first impression. The curb appeal, the use of the entryway, the living area, bath rooms and kitchens are given that at home warm feeling.  The way you live in your home may not be what a buyer is looking for. We give your home a non bias point of view, a buyers point of view and give the house the look and appeal that will sell.

House Staging - What are the benefits?
If you are selling a home, you may be wondering about house staging.  Here is a partial list of the benefits that home staging provides:

1. Staged Homes sell faster. 
2. Staged homes get higher offers
3. Staged houses look better in the MLS pictures, getting more potential buyers to actually come see the house in the first place.
4. Staged houses have an edge over competing properties, and the staging can often sway the final decision. 
5. Staging will help your home to seem spacious, with good traffic flow, and all of your homes selling features will be accentuated

Can Homes Really Sell Faster and at a Higher Price?  
Yes!  A recent national study of over 2500 homes proved that staged homes sold almost twice as fast (14 days vs. 31 days), and for 16% over list price.  Although every region varies, staged homes show better and therefore create the emotional response needed to close sales.   

What are the Steps to Staging a Home for Sale?
A CPG home staging professional visits your property and conducts a comprehensive home assessment and develops recommendations that will build on the unique strengths of each individual property while down-playing any weaknesses.  The plan is prioritized and can be implemented in part or in whole. 

The listing agent, seller and staging professional then agree on the home staging plan that best suits the needs of the property within their allowable budget. 

The CPG professional then coordinates with the seller, any required service or improvements prior to the actual home staging services (for example, de-cluttering, touch-up painting, removal of large furnishings, etc.) 

What does Home Staging Cost?
Pricing is dependent on the service level needed, and size of a property.  Consultations with a comprehensive written Assessment Report typically begin at $250.  This includes an approximate two hour home visit, and the follow-up written report provided to both listing agent and home owner.       

Who pays the Staging Fee?
Usually the home seller pays for the home staging services, but increasingly savvy real estate agents are covering the cost of the initial home assessment/consultation as a “value added service” to their clients.  Since our clients report that they are saving money (realtors) or making money (sellers), our services are normally more than recovered in the home’s listing price. 

What are CPG's Different Service Levels?
