Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need to stage my home?

The NY real estate market is very competitive. If you want your listing to stand out, to get the highest price possible, and sell as quickly as possible, then staging can boost your property to the next level. Check out these statistics from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) 2019 report on staging:

  • “Eighty-three percent of buyers’ agents said staging a home made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home.”

  • “…more than half of sellers' agents said that staging a home decreases the amount of time a home spends on the market, with 25 percent saying that it greatly decreases the time and 28 percent saying it slightly decreases the time.”

Can I select the furnishings I want for the staging?

We bring over 30 years of professional Staging & Styling experience to your project. The furniture and accessories we select are carefully curated to the needs of your project, the targeted demographic, budget and availability. Therefore, all selections are made at our discretion.

Do you own furniture for stagings?

We believe that each property is unique and should be staged as such. Since we do both occupied and vacant stagings, our furniture needs run the spectrum from mid-century modern to traditional and everything in between. We partner with trusted furniture providers for the big pieces, but we have our own carefully selected inventory of artwork, rugs, high-end faux plants, lamps small furniture items and accessories.

How long does a staging contract run?
The minimum contract runs for 3 months, and can be extended on a per month basis. We also offer longer contracts for 6 months or more. We will consult with your broker for the best time frame for your project based on the current market.

Do you accept credit cards?

Yes, for most projects we can accept major credit cards. We also accept bank transfers (Zelle), Venmo, cash and personal checks (for local work only).

Do you work with Compass Concierge?
