This document is to let you know what you can expect during your professional staging and to let you know what we need from you. Home Staging is NOT decorating. What we do isn’t a reflection on your style. Staging uses the principles of interior design to create spaces that photograph beautifully and help potential buyers connect with the home. All personal photos and effects will be removed (if possible, please remove beforehand). The professional stager(s) will arrive at your home and give themselves a self-guided tour. A strategic design plan will be created. The stager(s) will then begin moving furniture and items around — to stage the home. Items will be positioned as they should be on the day of photos and at all showings. All beds will be professionally made, towels will be perfectly positioned, etc. Clean bed linens and towels are appreciated. All garbages, toilet cleaners, plungers, kitchen / bathroom rugs, laundry (etc.) should be put in a closet before Staging Day—we will not touch these items. The stager(s) will move fast. The house can to look messy during this process. It is recommended the homeowner(s) are not on the premises. If the homeowner must be at the home, we request they find a spot outside or in a separate room that isn’t going to be staged. We may have some high-return recommendations to either change in the house or to purchase for the house. (For instance; cleaning windows, purchasing flowers or a piece of art.) It is understood that there are some risks involved in moving furniture and accessories. Albeit rare to experience any damage or injury, it is agreed by the homeowner and Happy Place Interiors to hold harmless each other. There will be no future claim against the Happy Place Interiors or any partners, associates or helpers for any injury to persons within the property or damage or destruction of possessions or property. Happy Place Interiors is fully insured. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e74f7e1e25588129bfc3f07/1589136963784-L93FWERCEK7HO22RZG36/image-asset.jpeg Market Ready - What We Will Need We will need a place to put items that should be stored away. This is often a garage or secondary bedroom. We will not be packing items, merely placing them in an area. Items will still need to be packed. If possible, please remove all family photos and unique items before Staging Day. Remove all valuable items from open areas. All pets should be removed from premises or contained in a pet crate. It is recommended that homeowners are not on the premises. If the homeowner must be at the home, we request they find a spot outside or in a separate room that isn’t going to be staged https://www.transformingspacesmi.com/for-homeowners-staging daily 0.75 2020-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e74f7e1e25588129bfc3f07/1596399105168-UYYJ2778FM78M7XNEJNF/Screen+Shot+2020-08-02+at+4.11.23+PM.png Homeowners - Staging - Staging Statistics Staging leverages marketing and design techniques to sell homes faster. 1st impressions on-line are lasting impressions. The National Association of Realtors estimates that more than 90% of people shop on the internet for their next home. If a home doesn’t show well on-line, a buyer will move on to the next option in a matter of seconds. https://www.nar.realtor/sites/default/files/documents/Study-Digital-House-Hunt-2013-01_1.pdf Staging is a widely practiced marketing strategy. The National Association of Realtors 2015 Profile of Home Staging reports more than 50% of Realtors are advising home sellers to Stage their properties…that number continues to grow! The National Association of Realtors released their 2019 Profile on Home Staging recently and a whopping 83 percent of buyers’ agents say staging makes it easier for buyers to visualize a property as their future home. This figure was up from 77 percent in 2017. The profile is only released every two years, and this is just the third time it’s ever been done. 95% of buyer agents say that home staging as some effect on a buyers view of the home (NAR 2017). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e74f7e1e25588129bfc3f07/1596397796247-R6SL3OUFNU6LOEFNXW9N/image-asset.jpeg Homeowners - Staging - ROI Staging your home does require you to shell out some cash, but it's worth it. According to the National Association of Retailers, for every $100 invested in staging, the potential return is $400. Buyers are typically willing to offer at least 1% and sometimes up to 5% above asking price for staged homes. Coldwell Banker Real Estate Corporation conducted a recent survey that found staged homes sell for over 6% above the asking price. Staging provides a high ROI. Homegain.com reports your investment in Staging averages a 196% return which also means that an un-staged home produces considerable loss. According to the NAR 2019 report, 44 percent of buyers’ agents said staging increased the financial offer on a home, 25 percent reported it increases a home’s dollar value by 1 to 5 percent, and 12 percent said it increases the dollar value 6 to 10 percent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e74f7e1e25588129bfc3f07/1596397949679-QA351274V7JXWDXT3WGB/image-asset.jpeg Homeowners - Staging - Results Staged homes sell more quickly (87% faster via the Real Estate Staging Association). Staging makes sure you get your best offers and price. 88% of Sellers Agents say that staging increases the value of the home 1-20% (National Association of Realtors 2017) Over half of sellers’ agents — 53 percent — said that staging a home decreases the amount of time a home spends on the market NAR 2019). Research from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) shows that the longer a property sits on the market, the less it finally sells for. The same research shows that staging a stagnant home currently listed makes it sell up to 73% faster. https://www.transformingspacesmi.com/faqs daily 0.75 2020-09-16 https://www.transformingspacesmi.com/portfolio daily 0.75 2020-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e74f7e1e25588129bfc3f07/e027474a-f18c-4ecf-99f7-0d6823611d97/Poc1+MBR3.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e74f7e1e25588129bfc3f07/2243ba34-e631-49b0-af8e-3645d3015b32/Oak+Pro+LR.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e74f7e1e25588129bfc3f07/2821eec6-e136-4dc9-870c-65a72a999392/Screenshot+2026-08-11+at+1.41.28%E2%80%AFPM.png Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e74f7e1e25588129bfc3f07/8c85aa06-16a2-4b25-9f03-fde0b10e0545/Screenshot+2026-08-25+at+3.20.34%E2%80%AFPM.png Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e74f7e1e25588129bfc3f07/79a86ff4-5b15-4931-afb4-a838cf31ff13/Avoncr2+LR3.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e74f7e1e25588129bfc3f07/57173a3d-3fbd-45ba-9fc5-9d48512e04ae/cu2+fr.jpeg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e74f7e1e25588129bfc3f07/1787687877368-0TZJ1MAP76UU69V06RO0/kinp%2Bfr.png Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e74f7e1e25588129bfc3f07/15ecc29b-8850-454e-889b-7c9090385675/tempImage4t6RYz.png Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e74f7e1e25588129bfc3f07/f33153c6-a161-4e62-8b3a-ce64603833ac/Oak+be+LR3.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e74f7e1e25588129bfc3f07/effe917f-bc67-45f1-9289-b03750b40dd8/Screenshot+2026-08-11+at+1.42.02%E2%80%AFPM.png Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e74f7e1e25588129bfc3f07/c8aac448-c41a-48c0-8ad8-b7534882c1b7/BC+be+Entry.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e74f7e1e25588129bfc3f07/cb0d70df-5782-4fdd-9e11-de7ea7e025f8/Avoncr1+LR1.jpeg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e74f7e1e25588129bfc3f07/e8ba0a7f-5be1-483b-b82c-2b577870e156/cu1+fr.jpeg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e74f7e1e25588129bfc3f07/83401431-ead7-448d-bc72-d3e5549d7801/Ki1+Fr2.jpeg Portfolio https://www.transformingspacesmi.com/about daily 0.75 2020-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e74f7e1e25588129bfc3f07/5a4b7026-6533-42d5-a82c-fb9c8cde54ca/imgg-iyi-jhh2upem.png About - Hi, I’m Jeannie Morris, Owner and Lead Designer of Transforming Spaces!
