The process began with a staging consultation ($150) which provided us with recommendations on what home improvements and repairs to make prior to listing our home and provided ideas for furniture for staging the home. We followed the majority of the recommendations for improvements (e.g. refinishing the hardwood floors, painting much of the first two floors, the deck and some of the front exterior, a thorough cleaning, replacing some worn items and purchasing of fresh flowers for the deck) and rented furniture for our first two floors (which is selected and arranged by the stager). We did not rent outdoor furniture for the deck, but instead left a freshly painted empty deck for viewings. The furniture rental including delivery and pickup cost $3063 (for one month), inclusive of taxes, and the staging cost $1000+HST. Home Decor's staging fee includes rental of various artwork and other accessories used in staging your home which come directly from them. All in with the staging and the cost of the improvements, we spent about 11-12k (after taxes). Prior to this work and the staging, we had a real estate agent assess the market value of our home. Our home sold in a week and the sale price, following the improvement work and the staging, was $25k higher. Home Decor Staging and Interior helped us receive a greater than 100% return on our investment in staging and improvements. I recommend Home Decor Staging and Interior Design to others planning to sell their home that wish to make strategic, profitable investments to increase the sale price of their home.
