Professional Home Staging in Denver: Vacant & Owner-Occupied Services

Home staging is the process of bringing in furniture and/or decor to make a home visually appealing to buyers prior to listing the home for sale.

We provide staging services for real estate agents, builders, developers, investors, fix-n-flippers, and homeowners.

Vacant staging involves staging the most impactful rooms of an empty, cleared out home.

Owner-occupied staging involves bringing in staging items to supplement or replace existing items in the client’s home. In this scenario, the client is occupying the home for any amount of time while staging is present. Any and all staging items may not be used.

Staging costs can vary widely based on several factors, such as square footage, home style, accessibility, whether it's a vacant house or owner-occupied, and the local market conditions. However, most occupied stages typically average between $1,800 - 3,500 while most vacant stages typically average -/+ $3,200. The cost can certainly be less than these figures, and can also be more.

First Impressions - Staged homes create a positive first impression, making the property more appealing to potential buyers from the moment they step in. A well-staged home can feel inviting, warm, and move-in ready, which can significantly influence a buyer’s decision.

Highlighting Potential - Staging helps potential buyers visualize how to use the space effectively, whether they are considering a permanent home or a vacation rental. It can demonstrate the potential of each room, making it easier for buyers to see how their furniture and belongings will fit into the home.

Maximizing Space - Professional stagers know how to arrange furniture and décor to make rooms appear more spacious and functional. This can be especially important in smaller homes or oddly shaped rooms.

Highlights the Positives - Staging can draw attention to a home’s best features, such as architectural details, large windows, or a beautiful backyard. It can also downplay any less desirable aspects of the property.

Photography and Marketing - Staged homes photograph better, which is crucial in today’s market where many buyers start their search online. High-quality photos can attract more interest and showings, leading to a faster sale.

Perceived Value - Staged homes are often perceived as being well-maintained and of higher value. Buyers may be willing to pay more for a property that looks well-cared for and ready to move into.

Pricing for every stage is tailored to that particular property, so you're not paying for more than you need and vice versa. Staging for a vacant 6,000 sq. ft. house will be priced differently than a 2-bed/1-bath condo in downtown Denver. Factors such as house vs. condo/apartment, accessibility, types of rooms being staged, size of those spaces, style of the home, etc. are taken into account.

No, there is no minimum to work with us. However, there are overhead costs for every stage that can eat into the total cost if the stage is smaller.
