The Staging Process

STEP 1: Initial Call/Consultation

During the initial call or consultation, we will gather essential information about your property, including square footage, layout, and any staging goals or concerns you have in mind. We’ll also discuss your timeline and budget to ensure that our initial estimate fits the unique needs of your property.

STEP 2: Property Preview

Because our staging approach takes into account the unique needs and features of each project, we will preview the property to gather insights needed to ensure our staging design maximizes the appeal and marketability of the home. This typically takes about 30 minutes and includes taking photos (for our reference only) and any measurements needed. From there, we craft a custom proposal and send it to you for your approval.

STEP 3: Staging Installation

We recommend scheduling the staging installation date for 24-48 hours before professional photos. On staging day, our team installs furniture, decor, and accessories tailored specifically to highlight the best features of your property and maximize its appeal to potential buyers.

STEP 4: Staging Removal

Congrats, your property went under contract! Once pending, we will coordinate a convenient time to remove the staging, typically about a week before the anticipated closing date. We will pack and remove our items, leaving the property in the same pristine condition as when we arrived, ready for final walk-throughs!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

FAQ

What is the cost to stage my home?

The cost of home staging varies depending on square footage, amount of the home to be staged, and how your home can be highlighted best! In our consultation walk through we will take these variables into account and craft a custom quote for your home.

On average, our staging costs less than 1% of the listing price.

Why should I stage with Sandia Staging?

Our ideal staging clients are ready and eager to prepare their homes for sale. We typically stage homes in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho. We recognize that every property is unique, and so are the dreams and aspirations of its future homeowners. That’s why we take a buyer-focused approach to home staging. When buyers walk into a property staged by us, they won’t just see a house; they’ll envision a lifestyle. This emotional connection is what leads to a quick sale and a top-dollar price.

The housing market is good, so why do I need to stage?

While the housing market might be good, it can also be highly competitive. Staging your home sets it apart from the numerous other listings, making it more memorable to potential buyers. This can lead to more inquiries, showings, and ultimately, better offers. On average, staged homes sell for 10%+ more than an un-staged home. That’s money in your pocket!

Can I just stage my own home?

When it comes to your own home, it’s easy to be emotionally attached and biased. This can make it difficult to see your home from a buyer’s perspective. Professional stagers bring an objective eye to your property, focusing on what will appeal most to potential buyers. If you would like to prepare your home for sale on your own but need a professional eye, our presale consultations may be a great fit for you!

What is your process for bidding my project?

While we can provide you with a quote estimate with just some basic information about the project, our highly customized staging process requires us to view the property before sending a proposal. We do this to provide insight on the areas we think are most important to stage, pinpoint the home’s unique features we need to highlight, and get an idea of the inventory needed for the stage. After a quick home preview, we will send you a custom proposal, and to book a project we require a deposit and signed contract.

What should I do to prepare for the stage?

We ask that all work or repairs by contractors, painters, etc. is completed and that the property is professionally cleaned several days in advance of the stage date. Electricity and plumbing must be functional. We require that the property is accessible upon our arrival via lockbox with key, door code, garage code, etc. and all codes must be provided prior to stage date. During winter months, please provide snow removal and deicing on exterior walkways for our safety.

How long will the furnishings stay at my property?

At this time, our contract length is 60 days with the option to roll over into a prorated month-to-month contract if needed. We require notification of the tentative close date within 48 hours of the home going under contract. We typically remove furnishings within 7 days of closing day to ensure Financial Commitment from the buyer is finalized.

Do you need me on-site while you are staging?

Short answer: No, but thanks!

Long answer: Staging is a jam-packed process of moving, unpacking, arranging, re-arranging, and styling. The resulting mess poses potential for accidents, while client questions and convos slow down our work process. For these reasons, we ask that the property be vacated by the homeowner, agent, cleaning crews, or contractors on stage day.
