Staging your home to sell

Staging works for sellers

Tailored staging solutions

Professional staging offers a curated, managed process that ensures every aspect of your home’s presentation is thoughtfully designed. First impressions are crucial, with buyers forming opinions within moments of entering a home. Staging helps create an inviting lived experience that showcases your home’s potential in the best possible light.

That said, staging can be a significant expense. For a vacant one-bedroom apartment, basic staging—including furniture rentals, accessories, painting, and cleaning—can start at $10,000 and increase for larger or luxury properties. If costs are a concern, Corcoran’s RealVitalize™ program can help sellers prepare their homes without upfront financial strain.

For those who prefer a more budget-conscious approach, there are alternatives to full staging. Small updates like rearranging furniture, adding accessories, or applying a fresh coat of paint can make a noticeable difference. Combining DIY efforts with selective professional help can often strike the right balance. We’re here to guide you in focusing on improvements that will have the greatest impact.

Options

Vacant home?

• We work with professional organizers and stagers who can manage the entire process for you—from painting and furniture rentals to selecting the perfect towels and toothbrushes.
• If you prefer a more hands-on approach, we’re happy to share recommendations on the essential steps to prepare your home for the market. In some cases, an organizer may be more beneficial than a decorator, a little decluttering goes a long way. We can help.
• If full staging isn’t feasible, we offer virtual staging to showcase your home’s potential in listing photos, even if the apartment is empty.
• Virtual staging involves adding photorealistic digital furnishings to your listing photos, a service we provide at no additional cost. While this can create a strong first impression online, it’s worth noting that buyers may still encounter an empty apartment in person. For many, this moment becomes a critical decision point. Ensuring your home looks its best at every stage can make all the difference.

Fitting your needs and budget

Find the right balance

Staging isn’t always about going all-in with a professional service. Depending on your property and budget, a mix of DIY and targeted professional help can deliver excellent results. From decluttering and deep cleaning to small updates like painting and accessorizing, every effort adds value.

We’re here to help you determine where to focus your energy and resources to make your home as marketable as possible. Whether it’s full-service staging, virtual staging, or a personalized approach, we’ll work with you to ensure your home stands out in a competitive marketplace.
