Q. What is home staging?

A. Home Staging is the art of professionally preparing a home for sale.  Today your home is meant to satisfy you and your family.  Home Staging makes simple changes to create a style that pleases just about everyone.  Following staging your home will appeal to the broadest possible audience. 

Q. Why can’t I stage my own home?

A. Most home sellers do not possess the skills necessary to stage their own home.  In order to stage a home effectively, the stager must be up to date on style trends, techniques to economically update the home and have the creative and marketing skills to make changes that add value.  A professional stager is trained to acquire the skills necessary to prepare your home for the market.   

Q. Can you teach me how to stage my home?

A. Following the initial consultation you may elect to receive our “Top Ten” Priority Report or our Action Plan and “Do-It-Yourself” Guides.  With this information you will have the tools necessary to complete many staging projects in your home.  Based on the home owner’s budget and the condition of the home, this is a reasonable solution for many home owners. 

Q. I have sold houses in the past without staging, why should I do it now?

A. Today one home in four is staged and statistics show that these homes sell 50% faster than un-staged homes.  In the slow market that exists today, you owe it to yourself to make use of all the tools available to prepare your home for the market. 

Q. How long does it take to stage a home?

A. Every home is different and the time varies based on the size and condition of the home.  However, it generally takes between one and two days to stage a home. 

Q. How much does it cost to stage an occupied home?

A. The cost for staging an occupied home varies depending on the work required, the level of participation by the homeowner, the need to purchase additional items, etc.  The homeowner receives a proposal after the initial reasonably priced Consultation.  At that time the total cost to stage your home is determined. 

Q. How much does it cost to stage a vacant home?

A. For vacant homes as well as occupied homes, costs vary depending on the size and condition of the home.  We recommend that, at a minimum, the home owner stage the most important rooms in the house, which typically includes the kitchen, dinning room, living/family room, main bath, master bedroom and bath.  Staging a vacant house generally includes a staging fee, monthly furniture rental paid directly to a furniture rental company, a one time delivery charge and an accessory rental fee payable to Baca Design LLC. 

Q. I am not selling my home but want to make it a better for my family.  How does staging help with my needs?

A. Even though you may not be selling your home, home staging will significantly refine your existing functionality and décor.  We make creative use of existing possessions through a process that edits, organizes and repositions your furnishings.  The objective of “staging to live” is to create beauty through the selective use and reorganization of existing items, keeping purchases of additional furniture and accessories to a minimum.  The result is an organized and functional setting that delights you as well as your family and friends.
