Our Promise

Hyatt Staging & ReDesign Inc. provides a third party, professional opinion when it comes to our Realtor Program.
This is taken seriously and will not come across asjudgmental or offensive to the client. This means that a Realtor with confidence can refer their client to us knowing that people and their possessions will be honoured. 
We know Staging, and we know that Realtors knows Real Estate.
 We truly understand the need for discretion and privacy.
The Realtor needn’t feel, we as the Stage, are criticizing the client’s property. We will show your client that the changes we recommend are in the client’s best interest and a means to selling faster, for more money, and not a reflection on their home.
 
Call us First……. we will make you look good…..and that’s my promise.

Cheers!

Staging Fees – The Ultimate Question

Posted by on Jan 4, 2012 in The Works | Comments Off

Staging Fees – The Ultimate Question

I get many calls on how much does it cost to Stage a property. Now because every property has its own integrity meaning, size, and condition, either vacant or non vacant properties. I’m going to give a break down to why a Stager may justify the fee they are charging.

After the initial free consultation, which will usually run approximately 1 hour, the Stager will either give you a quote on the spot or they will go back to the office and put together a well thought out plan and send you a quote within 24 hours. The Staging quote will depend on many factors and I’m going to explain just the Staging Fee and not any Furniture Rentals or Art and Accessories Rentals that may be required.

Staging Fee- Before a single piece of furniture is every moved on the day of the Stage, the Stager has already logged in a few hours of prep work before each and every stage job. I will give you the break down below in the Vacant Property Example.

The first key factor in a Staging Quote is how many hours it will take to do the Stage?  This will be determined on the size of the property and many other factors. Vacant or occupied for example.  Does it require a lot of de-cluttering, boxing of items? The Staging fee may also include the cost to hire another stager/s to help Stage the property. Most Stagers require someone to help shift or move furniture, and to get the job done faster and keep the hours down at a lower cost. What is also included in the Staging fee is coming back to the property once sold, to De-Staging the property. Depending if it’s Occupied or Vacant this can take anywhere from 1-2.5 hours.

A Day In The Life Of A Stage-Vacant Property

Once the client has approved the go ahead to do a Staging, a Stager will have to do some work before the actual Staging job for a Vacant Property can begin.

The firs thing the Stager must do is make sure she has a Mover on the day of the Stage. Then once that is in place its time to go to their warehouse or their sourcing warehouse and pick out the furniture that fits the scale and target market of that particular home. This can take from 1 to 2 hours depending on size of house.

After the main furnishings have been chosen and usually the night before the Stage date, its now time to pick and choose all Art and Accessories for the Stage. This can take 1-2 hours depending again on how much is needed for the property. Then once picked, the Stager must now load all of it, into the vehicles.  This can take another 1 hours of work.

Now it’s the Staging Day. A normal stage can take anywhere from 6-8 hours of work. Again this depends on the size of the property. In my Staging Fee I have a Professional Photographer on Staff. This is included in the actual Staging Cost and is a gift to my clients.

After the sale of the home and conditions are lifted, the Stager needs to coordinate a time for themselves and the Movers to come back to the property. This is called De-Staging the Property. All furniture and Art and Accessories need to be packed up and moved out. This can take anywhere from 1-2.5 hours.

Average Hours Invested- 14 hours (not including driving time or free consultation time) Average Hours Billed with Hyatt Staging & ReDesign Inc.-8 hours
