Common Qs and As:
you've got questions, i've got answers!
"Do you really need to stage an occupied home?"
"How do you determine your prices?
It's important to remember is that good design is an investment in your daily quality of life AND your property value. I help clients make strategic choices that maximize both their enjoyment and return on investment.
You can expect to pay an hourly rate for design and project management, along with standard industry markups on furniture and antiques.
"How involved do I need to be in the process? I'm busy but want to make sure I love the outcome."
"How much should I expect to invest in interior design services?"
Investment varies based on project scope, room size, and your goals. During the initial consultation, we'll discuss your specific needs and I can provide a customized investment estimate that reflects the true scope of your project. I can work within established budgets to prioritize the highest-impact changes first.
This is one of the biggest misconceptions in real estate. Even beautiful, well-maintained homes benefit enormously from staging because buyers make emotional decisions in the first 30 seconds.
Personal belongings, family photos, and accumulated possessions make it harder for buyers to envision their own life in the space. Professional staging creates a neutral canvas that allows buyers to project their own dreams onto your home.
We strategically edit your belongings while optimizing furniture placement to maximize space and flow.
The results speak for themselves: staged homes typically sell 73% faster and for 5-15% more than unstaged homes. When you consider that the average staging investment is 1-3% of your home's value but can yield returns of 5-15%, it's actually one of the smartest financial decisions you can make.
