FAQ'S
Q: What Is Home Staging?
A: Home Staging allows you to market your home to the largest audience possible by maximizing your home’s potential while minimizing the flaws. This can be as simple as reducing clutter and reorganizing the space, or as complex as bringing in all new furniture and accessories, or somewhere in between. Each home is unique and will require a different variety of services, but all start with an initial consultation, supplying a full home evaluation including notes for improvements and updates. We help to clearly define all areas of the home to eliminate those distractions that will keep buyers from seeing and remembering the great features of your house.
Q: What happens after the consultation?
A: You will receive the full evaluation notes from the consultation at once. If you have requested pricing for more home staging services or staging rental items, you will receive these within 24 hrs unless otherwise advised. You may then decide if you wish to implement the suggestions yourself or employ STAGE AND STYLE BY LEIGH and/or STAGE AND STYLE BY LEIGH Preferred Vendors to aid with preparing the house for sale. Once the necessary recommendations have been completed, your Professional Home Stager can return to set up any requested home staging rental items.
Q: Do I have to implement all the recommendations provided?
A: You don’t have to do any of them! However, the more you complete, the better your chances of selling your home, faster and for a maximum return. We understand that some of the recommendations may not fit with your timeframe and/or budget, but we suggest that you aim for a minimum of 75% of all suggestions. STAGE AND STYLE BY LEIGH has been hired to provide their expert opinion on the best way to showcase your home and must therefore provide you with all the information necessary for a successful sale. We’ll help you to prioritize the highest impact items to get the most out of your investment of time and money.
Q: Why should I spend money on a house I am selling?
A: Your home is generally your biggest investment. Investing in home staging will help to maximize your return on this investment. A few dollars on home staging will go a long way by ensuring that you sell your home faster, and for more money. All statistics show that the investment in staging your home is always less than your first price reduction. Did you know that only 10% of buyers can visualize a space? This is just one of the reasons that home staging is so important in today’s real estate market. Buyers are looking for a “move-in ready” home and will pay more to get this. We are selling an experience, not just a home.
Q: Where do you rent your furniture?
A: In order to maintain quality control and maximum flexibility, STAGE AND STYLE BY LEIGH will rent from third-party local vendors that have been thoroughly vetted for quality and excellent customer service. All furniture and other items rented from a third-party vendor are the property of that vendor. All furniture, artwork, linens, and accessories rented from STAGE AND STYLE BY LEIGH are the property of STAGE AND STYLE BY LEIGH. This allows us flexibility with style, availability, rental period, and pricing.
Q: If I need to rent any items, how long will I have the rented items for?
A: Rental period is for 60 days. Each additional month is billed at full rental fees (no delivery/setup charge or staging fees). Rental renewal fees are billed monthly and will not be prorated.
Q: Do you have trades workers/suppliers that you can suggest?
A: STAGE AND STYLE BY LEIGH has found top professionals in your area to help you with your needs in getting your property “sell-ready”. STAGE AND STYLE BY LEIGH is happy to provide you with the contact information for any of these Preferred Vendors at no charge. STAGE AND STYLE BY LEIGH will contact, schedule, and manage these on your behalf for an added fee.
Q: If I hire you for other staging services, when/how do you get paid?
A: STAGE AND STYLE BY LEIGH will require final payment within 72 hours of staging date, however a down-payment of 60% is needed prior to the start of work for most projects. Acceptable payment methods include email money transfer, or credit card.
Q: What if I don’t like the staging items that you bring in?
A: Choice and placement of artwork, furniture, and accessories is at the discretion of STAGE AND STYLE BY LEIGH, and it may not be to your personal taste. While you may voice concerns with any selected items, STAGE AND STYLE BY LEIGH shall have final say on this. You have hired us for our skills and ability, and we will ensure that the staging items will be chosen and placed to best showcase your home. We all have the same goal in mind – to sell your house!
