What is OCCUPIED HOME STAGING?
Free Occupied Home Staging is a service designed to enhance the look and feel of your home using what you already own—at no cost to you! Instead of bringing in entirely new furniture, I work with your existing pieces, thoughtfully rearranging them to create a fresh, inviting space that appeals to buyers.
To elevate the presentation, I may bring in small décor accents, such as pillows, artwork, or decorative accessories, to add warmth and style. However, if additional furniture is needed to complete the look, it can be provided for an additional fee.
This service is perfect for homeowners who want their space to feel professionally staged without the full cost of rental furniture. By making simple yet effective changes, I highlight your home’s best features—ensuring it looks its absolute best for showings and listing photos!
"You never get a second chance to make a first impression — that’s why we stage."
In short, YES! Yes it does really work. Let me explain...
Faster Sales: Staged homes typically sell faster than unstaged ones. For instance, a study from the International Association of Home Staging Professionals found that staged homes sell up to 80% faster than non-staged homes.
Higher Sale Prices: Staging can also lead to higher offers. According to the National Association of Realtors, 20% of buyers' agents reported that staging a home increased the dollar value offered between 1% and 5% compared to similar homes that were not staged.
Enhanced Buyer Perception: Staging helps buyers visualize the property as their future home. The National Association of Realtors reported that 81% of buyers' agents said staging made it easier for buyers to visualize the property as a future home.

No! The beauty of occupied staging is we mostly work with what you already have. If anything extra is needed, I’ll let you know — but most homes don’t require major changes.
It usually takes a few hours to one full day depending on the size of your home and the amount of prep needed. My goal is to make the process smooth and efficient so we can get your home listed quickly.
Not at all! Staging is designed to make your listing stand out right away. We coordinate everything to ensure it fits into your timeline — usually right before your professional photos are taken.
That’s great! Even beautifully decorated homes sometimes need a few tweaks for buyers. What looks good for living may not be what sells — I help neutralize and showcase the space so buyers see themselves living there.
Even in a hot market, staged homes sell faster and often for more. Buyers emotionally connect to staged homes — which can lead to stronger offers and fewer days on market.
Yes! Whether your home is $300K or $1M+, staging is included when you list with me. Every home deserves to look its best!
