Every home is different. Price depends on the package you choose. Our basic package usually includes the main level and the principal bedroom and ensuite. Prices start at $300 for a consultation.

The spring and fall are the busiest times for our business. The earlier the better is always recommended to start the home staging process. The ideal time frame to book our services would be 2 to 4 weeks prior to listing, which allows you time to follow up on recommendations in our consultation report.

The property should be “stage ready” upon our arrival. Stage ready includes completion of task list, cleaning, and removal of all unnecessary items prior to the agreed upon staging date. We require that the property be accessible upon our arrival (key, door codes). During winter months, pleasure ensure the walkways are cleared of snow and ice for our safety.

For an occupied staging, we will return after you have completed the recommendations and the home is stage ready. Installation includes delivery of inventory, furniture placement, as well as destaging and inventory pickup. We provide a custom selection of furnishings, art and accessories from our Inventory. To secure a staging date, we require a 50% deposit.

For a vacant staging, we require a home consultation to assess your requirements. We can then prepare a proposal and develop a design plan for you. Selection of furniture and accessories is based on the style of the home. Installation includes delivery of inventory, furniture placement, as well as destaging and inventory pickup. To secure a staging date, we require a 50% deposit.

The rental of inventory is based on a one-month rental agreement and includes setup, takedown and pickup.

No, for several reasons. Since staging is a busy process of moving, unpacking, arranging and styling, the disorder can lead to accidents. For safety and work efficiency, we ask that the property be vacated by everyone, including the homeowner, agent and cleaning crews on staging day.

You might decide to implement the suggestions yourself or you might prefer using Trendsetter Home Staging & Design to assist with preparing the house for sale. In this case, we will be happy to provide you with a proposal.

You don’t have to do any of them! However, the more recommendations you complete, the better are your chances of selling your home faster and for a maximum return.

We will use the best approach in showcasing your home by providing you with expert information designed for a successful sale. We’ll help you to prioritize the highest impact items to get the most out of your investment.

Your home is generally your biggest investment. Investing in home staging will help to maximize your return on this investment by ensuring that you sell your home faster and for more money. Sellers who stage their homes see an average return on investment of about 400%. Did you know that only 10% of buyers can visualize a space? Since home staging is a major factor in helping buyers to visualize the space as their own, it’s an important feature in today’s real estate market. Buyers are looking for a “move-in ready” home and a professional home staging will ensure that they get a satisfying experience.

The selection and placement of artwork, furniture and accessories is at the discretion of Trendsetter Home Staging & Design. We understand that our choices might not be to your personal taste, but due to fluctuating availability of inventory, clients cannot select the furnishings to be used in their staging project. We will aim to produce a home staging style that appeals to potential buyers and reflects current trends and neutral tones, as shown in our portfolio. We will ensure that the staging items are artfully selected to best showcase your home. We all have the same goal in mind—to sell your house!
