🏡 What Is Home Staging?
Home staging is the process of preparing your home for sale to attract the right buyers. At NB Designs, we highlight your home’s best features, minimize distractions, and create a high-end, spacious feel. It’s not a reflection of your style—it’s a proven Equity Enhancement Strategy to help you sell faster and for more.
💬 Can I Stage My Own Home?
You can, but most sellers have “home blinders.” A professional stager sees your home through a buyer’s eyes, bringing out its full potential with objective, expert advice.
✔️ What Should I Look for in a Staging Company?
- Credentials & Certifications (Real Estate Staging Association)
- Design Background (Our lead stager has a degree in design)
- Experience at All Price Points ($180K–$7M+)
- Extensive Portfolio – Ask for a link to view our work
- Fully Insured & Award-Winning
- Friendly, Professional Service – 7x “Best of Houzz” winner!
💎 Do Only Luxury Homes Need Staging?
Not at all! Today’s buyers expect move-in-ready homes at all price points. Every home deserves to look its best—no matter the size or budget.
🧹 What Should I Do Before Listing?
- Deep clean home, windows & carpets
- Refresh landscaping
- Hide pet items (bowls, beds, litter)
- Follow Realtor’s pricing advice
- Leave home (with pets) during showings
🧼 How Should I Prepare Before a Staging Consultation?
- Remove clutter, toys, out-of-season items
- Clear off fridge surfaces
- Secure valuables, prescriptions, diplomas
- Match lightbulbs in each room
- Clean thoroughly, especially kitchens & bathrooms
- Have packing supplies ready (boxes, bubble wrap)
📦 Do I Need Packing Supplies?
Yes! You’ll pack items we flag during the consultation. We don’t pack for you, but we make it easy.
✨ What Is “Editing” and Why Does It Matter?
We prefer “editing” to “decluttering.” Once we edit, we recommend how to use your furniture and accessories—or suggest staging pieces to enhance key areas.
🛋️ Will You Use My Furniture & Decor?
Absolutely! We love working with your existing items when possible, and we’ll supplement with curated pieces if needed.
🛍️ What Small Items Should I Buy Before Listing?
- White orchids or tulips
- Fresh white towels & shower curtains
- Updated lamps & throw pillows
- New welcome mat
- Neutral decor (candles, fruit bowls, plants)
- Bathroom storage totes
- Fresh flowers for photo day
Affordable finds: HomeGoods, At Home, Target
❌ What’s the Biggest Mistake Sellers Make?
Not treating the home sale like a business transaction. This is your biggest asset—presentation matters! Staging works best when the home is kept in show-ready condition every day.
🏠 My Home Is Beautiful—Do I Still Need Staging?
Yes! Staging isn’t decorating—it’s marketing. Even gorgeous homes need depersonalizing and styling to attract the broadest buyer pool.
🚪 Do I Need to Be Home During Staging?
- Occupied consultation: Yes, please.
- Vacant staging: We prefer to work solo for speed & safety.
🧺 Will You Make Beds or Clean Rooms?
We don’t clean or make beds, but we’re happy to recommend professional cleaners to help keep your home photo-ready.
📦 Do You Help with Packing or Moving?
We’re not insured to move boxes or furniture, but we have trusted moving and organizing partners we’re happy to recommend!
👶 Tips for Staging with Kids at Home?
Yes—we’re parents too! During your consultation, we’ll share tips and strategies to help your home stay tidy and your stress stay low.
💳 When Is Payment Due?
- Vacant staging: Full payment is due 3–5 business days before install
- Occupied consultation: Due prior to appointment
- Working with a Realtor? Some cover our consultation as part of their service—ask yours!
