In this thorough consultation, we will walk through your home together using our detailed staging report, then discuss optimal staging strategies that will help your home appeal to the broadest spectrum of buyers. Afterwards, you will receive the detailed staging recommendations highlighting what needs to be done to the interior and exterior of your home to get it ready to sell! Consultations are $250 and include:

Vacant Staging
If you want top dollar for your home…you need to Stage!
Is your home vacant and just sitting on the market with little to no traffic? This staging service is what you need! Vacant staging is for homes that are empty, and buyers today want them to be move-in ready! Staging your home results in more showings, higher offers and quicker sales! That means more money for you! We provide all furniture, artwork, rugs, lamps, linens and decorative accessories. Our inventory is chosen to appeal to the broadest spectrum of buyers. Pricing begins at minimum $2500 and depends on the property square footage, rooms to be staged, movers and staging fee.
What to expect:
Once you have accepted your Staging Proposal, your inventory is reserved and we will visit your property to determine best staging options for your home
Price is based on square footage and needs of the homeowner
Vacant Staging Day is scheduled
Your property will be turned into a home where people can imagine themselves living which creates offers
Did you know that 95% of buyers cannot envision themselves or their furnishings in an empty space? Gray Staging and Design will turn your property into a home where people can imagine themselves living! Home staging creates beautiful rooms that appeal to buyers, and takes the focus off the price eroding features that are so noticeable when the home is empty. Staged homes photograph better than vacant, which is important because buyers search online first!
A question we get asked often is”how do we determine the cost of our home to stage?”
The answer is that we look at each home individually to see what each home needs! We provide all the furniture, area rugs, decorative accessories and pillows, artwork and lamps for your entire home.
For instance, an average cost for us to purchase everything for one Living Room is between $4000-$6000 depending on the size of the room. On average, a typical charge is 15-20% of what it costs us to stage a room. So a typical Living Room of $4000 for us to furnish…we add $600-$800 to your proposal for that one room. Each room is added to your staging proposal + the movers and staging fee. It takes a lot of curated inventory to stage your home and make it stand out online and in person!
The Staging Process
Occupied Home Staging
Occupied Home Staging is for sellers that will live in their home while it is on the market. Using our customized, written report we will get your home ready to sell, and will optimize your living spaces for the best aesthetic outcome. One of the first steps is to declutter and depersonalize your property so it will look and photograph the best. Occupied Staging begins at $2000
Your consultation will include optimal furniture layout and a customized accessory/decoration shopping list. We use what you already own, and supplement with beautiful accessories like pillows, pictures and decorative items. We will make big transformations using what you have to make the most of each space! Letting us stage your home can make the difference between sitting on the market and selling!

Color is one of the most important ingredients. Let’s make sure you have the best one for your home!
