What sellers and agents deal with, and what we do differently

Being hard to reach. Sellers and agents report staging companies that go quiet on emails, show up late, rush through the work, or worse, take a deposit and never show up at all.

Prompt communication is something we hold ourselves to on every project, not a line in a brochure. You'll know what's happening and when, from your first call through the final walkthrough, and delivery is scheduled around your project's real timeline, not squeezed in whenever it's convenient for us.

Walls scuffed or holed from careless hanging, floors and doorframes marked up during move-in, and rental furniture that comes back stained or damaged. Antique and specialty pieces are especially at risk from rushed handling.

Every piece is handled for its specific risk, upholstery, hard edges, antique joints, and finishes don't all travel or place the same way, so they're not treated the same way. The same team that packs a piece is the one that places it, and nothing leaves without a final walkthrough against the plan.

Stagers removing a homeowner's own furniture or bringing in rentals without clearly walking through what's changing first, leaving sellers surprised by what's different in their own home.

Every piece going in or out is logged against the plan agreed at your consultation. Nothing moves that wasn't already discussed and scoped with you first.

Sellers and agents not understanding what's driving a staging quote, and vague "contact for pricing" answers that make it hard to budget before committing.

Real starting ranges are published on our services page, not hidden behind a contact form. Consultation runs $150 to $600. Occupied staging runs $1,500 to $3,000. Vacant staging runs $2,000 to $6,000 or more depending on the property. You get a specific number before any work starts, and delivery is priced and scheduled as its own line instead of being folded into staging.

Staged homes in Florida sold in a median of 23 days, compared to 184 days for homes that weren't staged, and 29% of agents reported a 1 to 10 percent price lift from staging (Florida Realtors, 2025). The National Association of Realtors' 2025 Profile of Home Staging found that 83% of buyers' agents said staging made it easier for buyers to picture themselves living in a home.

Mike and Deena have bought, sold, and staged homes themselves for years, not applied a design credential from the outside. Every property gets a plan built for that specific home, not a generic package, because that's what actually moves a listing.
