Staging Your Home Works

Real estate statistics show that staged homes sell faster than un-staged homes, and usually for a higher sales price as well. A properly staged home showcases the home's best features, downplays any flaws and adds a warm, inviting touch that resonates with buyers and creates a powerful first impression. Contact us to make sure that your home stands out from the competition!

Staging Your Home Is A Smart Investment

The investment in staging is always far less than a price reduction when your home is on the market. Regardless of market fluctuations, staging will give your home an edge over competing properties. It's the all-important "packaging" that helps a home sell faster and for maximum profit.
 
In addition, your investment in staging may also be tax deductible; refer to IRS Publication 523 and your professional tax advisor for more information on deducting this marketing expense.

Our Home Staging Services

Room Solutions Staging offers a variety of professional services to homeowners, investors, and realtors; we're flexible and want to work within your time frame and budget. If you have a service request that isn't listed here, just contact us to let us know how we can help you.

We primarily serve clients in the communities of Portland, Tigard, Tualatin, Wilsonville, Beaverton, Aloha, Hillsboro, West Linn, Lake Oswego, Milwaukie, Clackamas, Oregon City & Happy Valley. For clients located outside of our service area, we are happy to provide E-staging services or a referral to a qualified staging professional in your area.

Home Staging Services Offered To Homeowners & Investors:

• Comprehensive Consultation Report: If you prefer to do the prep work yourself, we provide a detailed Comprehensive Report that includes specific guidelines for both the Interior & Exterior of your occupied home. Your custom report will include suggestions & advice on paint colors, minor repairs, optimum furniture placement, how to prepare for an Open House, the importance of cleaning and de-cluttering, tips for creating curb appeal, and how to make the best first impression on potential buyers. The cost of this detailed report is .10/sq ft with a $200 minimum. If you later decide to have us return and stage the home, we will credit 50% of its cost to the staging fee.
• Electronic Consultation (E-Staging): If your property is located outside our service area, we can provide a detailed Comprehensive Consultation Report. Using photos and room dimensions you provide, we will advise you on which pieces of furniture to keep, which to remove, and how to showcase the space for maximum appeal. The cost of this service is $200 to $250.
• Full or Partial Staging Service: We can stage a Vacant home with Full or Partial staging using our extensive inventory of quality furnishings. We can also stage an Occupied home - working with and editing the seller's furniture, and providing any additional accessories that may be necessary to create the "Wow" factor. These staging services also include quality digital photos that can be used in the online listing or in marketing materials. The investment in these services depends on the size of the property, the number of rooms staged and whether accessories are included or not. Because every project is unique, we're happy to provide a no-obligation staging proposal for your property.
• Full Day or Half Day Home Makeover (ReDesign) Projects: If you'd like a fresher look in your home or just don't know how to best configure the furniture, our home makeover service may be just what you need. This service is much less expensive than hiring a traditional interior decorator, and very effective! We can help you make your home warm and inviting, and can also suggest where to buy the best accessories (or we can do the shopping for you). Pricing starts at $500 for 2 experienced Redesigners for 4 hours; a no-obligation quotation can be provided - just give us a call.
  
• Shopping Service: If you're too busy to shop for home décor, or aren't sure what's needed to improve the look of your home, we can do the shopping for you. Using our intimate knowledge of the local furnishings market, we can find the items you need (often at bargain prices), deliver them to your home and properly arrange them to fit the space. Billed at $50.00/hr.
• Staging Offices, Reception Areas, Waiting Rooms & Small Businesses: All properties – including commercial offices – can benefit from staging. We'll assess your place of business from the perspective of a customer, then advise you on what changes should be made to create a more inviting and professional look and feel.
• Furnishings Rental: Our extensive inventory of furnishings is available for rental in staged properties. This includes a wide variety of quality furniture, area rugs, lamps, artwork and wall decor, linens, plants and trees, plus home décor accessories to suit many styles and tastes.
