Home Staging
At Emmantee Real Estate Solutions we are committed to efficiently getting you to the closing table with a maximum-profit real estate transaction. Whether your home is vacant or you plan to live in it through the sales process, we can set the stage to get buyers in the door and eager to make a strong offer. We maximize the value of your investment through research-based design and furniture layout to create a dream home for your ideal buyer.
A home decorated for personal tastes and functional living doesn’t always showcase well to a large buyer audience. Home staging focuses on creating spaces that inspire buyers. Our staging services give sellers a considerable advantage against competitive listings. In a 2021 study of 4,600 homes, professionally staged homes sold nine days faster, and 73% sold over list price.(RESA)
Home staging starts with a short phone consultation. If you have a vacant home we can give you a quote over the phone in just a few minutes. If you have an occupied home we’ll schedule a time to meet and go over every detail to ensure you get top dollar for your sale. Our in-person consultations last up to 2 hours, and you receive a full detailed report of how to increase your home value through expert design and furniture placement.

We offer home staging for both vacant and occupied homes. Starting at just $250, we have a variety of package options to help you set the stage for a top dollar sale! Our vacant staging contracts are for 60 days with the option to extend. Our pricing is based on a property size around 2000 sq ft, but is subject to change based on the scope of the job.

FAQ
Why should I stage my home?
Home staging provides buyers the opportunity to visualize themselves in your home. A staged home makes a stronger first impression with buyers, and often leads to more offers, a faster sale, and higher selling price. In the current real estate market home staging is an essential tool for sellers looking to achieve the highest value for their home.
Who pays for home staging?
Home staging is typically paid for by the seller or the real estate agent selling the home. Payment is due in full before services are rendered. For many real estate agents, home staging is part of their listing package. Todd Hennon provides home staging to all of his clients at no cost to them, and as part of his listing package.
Can I live in my house while it is staged?
Home staging items are best thought of as decorative props. For vacant homes we do require that no one takes occupancy of the home or use any of the furnishings in the home. For occupied staging you can absolutely live in and enjoy your home. We work with you to bring the most value adds to your home that allow you to comfortably live in it through the sales process.
Are the furnishings for sale to a buyer?
If you receive an offer on your home that includes some of our furnishings please reach out to us. We are always happy to accommodate buyers that are eager to purchase and there are a variety of ways to work this into a successful contract.
What if I need to extend my contract?
That is not a problem. We do require advance notice for renewal and our renewals are based on a 30-day renewal.
