Setting the Stage for Success

Home Staging is an Integral Part of Our Listing Services

What is Home Staging?

Think of home staging as home redesign or redecorating, but without all the big expense usually associated with redecorating. Staging makes your home look larger, lighter, cleaner, cozier and more welcoming.

Why Have Your Home Staged?

You might need home staging if you are...

Selling Your Home with a Real Estate Agent
Results indicate that home staging allows your home to sell faster and for more money than non-staged homes. By highlighting your home's strengths and downplaying its weaknesses through home staging, you increase the success of selling your home in any real estate market.

Selling Your Home as a FSBO
Marketing your home by yourself takes a lot of time and effort. And, you won’t have all of the resources readily available to you that Metro Jackson MS real estate agents can provide. Selling your own home can be challenging, but you can gain one advantage by setting the stage for a successful sale by hiring a professional to stage your home.

Ready for a Change
Home staging is extremely cheaper than moving or redecorating.

Tired of the Clutter
Why wait for a special event or when you're preparing your home to sell? Create a beautiful home you'll love to live in today!

Getting Ready to Host an Event
Maybe your daughter is getting married and you're hosting the wedding shower, rehearsal dinner or even the wedding at your home. Whatever the special event, you'll feel confident hosting it in your freshly staged home.

Having Family or Friends Over for the Holidays
You want your home to glow. You don't think a thing of paying to have your carpets cleaned, purchasing new tableware or buying holiday decorations. Make the backdrop of all this holiday sparkle as special as the season. Have your home staged.

What Does Home Staging Cost?

Most home stagers charge between $75 and $300 per hour. Paula Ricks understands that an open-ended hourly rate is not comfortable for most people. That's why she charges by the project. Choose the home staging package that meets your needs:

Verbal Staging Consultation Package - $149
This package is perfect for the do-it-yourselfer who wants to be very involved in the process and wants the most cost effective solution. During this two-hour consultation, you take notes as Paula explains what needs to be done to your living room, family room, dining room, entry, kitchen, master bedroom and bathroom and exterior of your home. All work is completed by you.

Written Staging Consultation Package - $299
This package is perfect for the do-it-yourselfer who wants a blue print to follow. After viewing the interior and exterior of your home, Paula puts together a 5 to 10 page report detailing exactly what needs to be done. Paula reviews the report with you answering any questions you have. All work is completed by you.

Full Service Staging Package - $599 (does not include any purchases that may need to be made)
Paula does an in-home assessment. She and her staff rearrange your furniture and accessories. Any additional items needed will be purchased by Paula and billed to you at cost plus shopping time. A not-to-exceed budget will be set before any work or shopping is done.

Who Should You Hire?

Not all home stagers are created equal. Accredited Staging Professionals are skilled artists. They possess the talent of home designers and decorators and create a setting that appeals to the widest range of home buyers as well as your friends and family.

Recent statistics show Accredited Staging Professionals have a sales success rate of 94.8% of homes sold with an average of 37 days or less on the market. Compare this to non-staged homes which lingered on the market an average of 182 days before selling.
