Areas of Expertise

Star Staging offers many staging and redesign services. The first and most economical is a staging consultation (or written report). We go into a home that is occupied and write up a complete report room-by-room on what the homeowner can do for themselves to get the home staged. We address those issues that may be difficult for the realtor to address with their clients (such as smells, personal clutter, etc.)

The second service we offer is occupied stagings. We will use as much of the homeowners things as possible and rearrange them and de-clutter to make the space feel more spacious and give it that Wow factor. We can supplement from our inventory where needed. Depersonalization is key to make the home appeal to a wide range of buyers. We want the buyer to be able to visualize themselves in the home and not make them feel as if they are in someone else's home when they are considering buying it.

The third service is vacant stagings. We will bring everything in and make the home show like a model home. This is critical for a vacant home where home buyers have a difficult time visualizing an empty space.

We also offer virtual stagings. This is where you can submit photos online and we will submit a report back without ever having to step into the home. Great for long-distance clients.

Of course, we also offer "staging to live" or "redesign" services. If the home is not on the market but the client wants a new look or feel to their rooms we will come in and rearrange what they already have to create a whole new space. We can make recommendations as to what they might want to add as well.

Star Staging offers Color Consultations as well. We can guide you in selecting colors that will make your home feel more cohesive and bring it all together.

Testimonials

Even when we moved out of state, and left our home in Windsor vacant, we were confident it would sell quickly because of its many other merits. Little did we know how crucial it was for potential buyers to visualize the home as being "lived in." So, after nearly 7 months on the market, and just one offer, we turned to you - and presto - we received two very strong offers in the first two weeks of your staging of our home. In fact, the offer we accepted submitted their first bid within 24 hours of the staging setup. We used the pictures you took to upgrade our MLS listing and fliers. Thank you for the constant updates, and for offering a pro-rated fee schedule. So many other companies would have charged a full month's furniture rental, even though the sale of our home cleared all contingencies during the first week of the month. There's absolutely no doubt in our minds - your service helped sell our home!
We wish you well, and will certainly recommend your service to others.
