How to find the right company to stage your home

Home staging is an amazing benefit to selling your property. It can increase sales above your asking price, and get your property off the market faster than the usual time. But it’s important you find the right company first, and putting in the effort to find a company with the right credentials, will pay off in the long term.

To find the right company to stage your home, you can start by researching and comparing different staging companies in your area. This can’t all be about price, although if you’re working to a budget, it might be a serious factor. Look for companies with positive reviews, try searching yell.com, Google, Trust Pilot and see what they have on their website. Case studies are a really great indicator of a good home staging company too.

A strong portfolio, and experience working with homes similar to yours are also crucial factors You can also ask for recommendations from real estate agents or friends who have recently staged their homes. When you’ve got yourself a list of at least 3 companies, it’s time to speak to them. Having someone come into your home and re-decorate or dress it is quite a personal thing, so it’s essential that you feel a connection to whomever you work with, and know that they completely understand your brief. 

Make sure you understand the payment terms and estimated time of completion before you sign any contracts and agree on whether or not you give permission for your home to be photographed and those images to be used elsewhere. As long as you choose the right company, home staging will have a positive effect on your selling experience. 

Good luck!
