Staging Consultation

My seller clients receive a professional staging consultation as part of their listing package. The staging consultant will provide a very detailed walk through of what needs to be done for the home to show its best and get the highest possible price. This includes furniture placement, what to keep, remove or add to make the home look its best.

After the staging consultation, it will be up to you to execute on the suggestions from the professional stager. However, once you’re ready for the photography session, here’s the final home preparation checklist.

Final Preparation for Photos Checklist
