How Long Does Staging Take?

Staging your home for sale involves more than creating a great first impression. The length of time it may take to stage can vary based on several factors including but not limited to the size of the home, the current condition and whether it is occupied or vacant.

How Long Does The Staging Process Take?

Staging typically takes one to three days, depending on the size of the property and the scope of staging required. Larger or vacant homes may take longer, while smaller, well-maintained homes can be completed faster.

1. Initial Consultation and Planning

The initial consultation involves a professional stager going through your home, and discussing design strategies to be implemented. This generally takes an hour or two. The stager then formulates a customized plan, which can take a few days, given the complexity of the project and the availability of materials.

2. Preparation Work

Preliminary preparation may be necessary before the actual staging, such as cleaning up and minor repair work. If you do this yourself, the job may take from a few days up to a week or even longer, depending on the amount of work needed. Hiring professionals who can assist in these steps can ease this process.

3. Staging Execution

Once all the planning and preparation are done, the actual staging can be carried out. This part usually takes one to three days, depending on the size of the home and the scope of the staging. Vacant homes require more furnishing and décor to be brought into the property, while occupied homes may need only a simple rearrangement.

4. Post-Staging Adjustments

Once the actual staging is done, there might be some minor adjustments after feedback from real estate agents or potential buyers. This usually doesn't take much time but is worth factoring into the overall timeline.

Conclusion

All in all, the time required for the home staging process varies from one to three weeks from start to finish, depending on the condition of the home and how much work is needed. Give enough time for each phase so that your property can be showcased in the best light, thereby probably speeding up the sale with an increase in its value.
