We price each home from its own written scope. During the walkthrough we settle the questions that move a staging price the most: occupied or vacant, how many rooms, which furnishings stay, and how long the staging remains. Once those answers are set down in the scope, we price that exact plan and nothing else.

You should know your target photo date, whether the home will be lived in or empty when the photos are taken, and which furnishings you want to keep in the house. It also helps to note the rooms you believe matter most, though we will walk them in the order a buyer would and rank them with you on site. If your agent has already set a listing schedule, bring those dates along. The better we understand the timeline, the tighter the scope we can write for you.

Occupancy is the first input we ask about, because a lived-in home usually needs less brought in. You are still living there while the home is listed, so the plan works around your daily routine instead of boxing it up. When your existing pieces can carry part of the plan, the work leans toward editing and placement, and we identify which pieces support the listing and which rooms need something more. The scope reflects that split, and the estimate prices only what the plan actually requires.

You can stage only the rooms where buyers make up their minds, and a partial scope is one of the most useful tools we have. We rank the rooms during the walkthrough, so you see where staging does the most for your listing. If the whole-home plan runs past your working budget, we trim rooms and keep the quality. The written scope lists exactly which rooms are in, so you know what the estimate covers.
