Home Staging Services Offered

M&K Staged homes are always appropriate to the existing style and architecture of each listing. Our occupied homes are transformed by first utilizing the seller’s existing furnishings. We assist in presenting vacant properties more effectively with our extensive inventory and the talent of our trained and accredited stagers. A hand selected collection of furnishings allows us to stage each home individually to highlight its best features.

Staging Consultation

A consultation is both necessary and required before any ideas or work can be recommended. During the consultation, we will offer verbal suggestions and take necessary measurements and photographs of areas to be staged.  After a thorough walk through of the property, a proposal will be provided on the recommended program and pricing. Consultations generally take one to two hours with fees based on occupancy and size of property.

Evaluation Report

Evaluation reports are in addition to a consultation and a great tool for the seller who is interested in preparing their own home for resale. We offer a detailed summary of each area to be stated, to included suggestions on curb appeal, “Wow” factor, furniture placement, color selections, and our own six step process.  It is up to the seller to implement our recommendations as well as the purchasing of any suggested items to accomplish the staging process .Evaluations include a consultation and are based on square footage.

Redesign For Resale

 

Redesign for Resale involves de-cluttering, depersonalizing, neutralizing and rearranging the seller’s existing furniture, purposefully making each room look larger. Many homes may need more extensive help, such as repainting, landscaping, and bringing in new furnishings, window treatments and artwork. Redesign fees are based on hourly, half day and day rates determined during the initial consultation.
