Frequently Asked Questions
What is ‘prep for home sale’?
We prep your home using furniture and decor already in the home to improve the overall appearance. After our team is finished the home will be ready for marketing photo shoots and open houses. Decluttering and organizing creates a blank canvas and allows potential buyers to easily picture themselves in the home. This makes a big difference and leads to quicker sales. We may suggest purchasing additional decor items to enhance the space but otherwise we work with what you have.
What is the difference between ‘prepping’ and ‘staging’ a home?
Prepping the home involves using your own items to stage the house to be ready to list for sale. This is a less expensive option to traditional staging. Traditional staging is ideal for empty houses, requiring the rental of all furniture and decor and then staged by designers which can be costly. In many cases, people choose to stay in the home and navigate through open houses until it is sold. This is another way prepping makes a lot of sense.
How do I get started with the organization process?
First we will conduct an initial walkthrough of the home to identify what areas need to be addressed. This information is used to create a scalable project plan that includes an estimated pricing and timing based on your project goals.
How much will it cost to organize my home?
The pricing is determined by the size of the project. All of our project plans are scalable. We gather as much information at the start which includes assessing budget requirements.
Is housecleaning included in the project plan?
Yes. All of our services include a thorough cleaning.
Do I have to buy additional decor?
No. We can work with what you have to maximize the appearance of your home. Our goal is to make sure potential buyers have a positive first impression online and at open houses so you can make a quick sale.
Are organization supplies included in the project?
Your project plan will include an estimate for the supplies needed to organize your space. Please note that the estimate is as accurate as possible but we may find that we need additional supplies once the team is further along in the project.
What kind of organization supplies will be used?
Examples of organizational supplies includes:
Stackable clear plastic bins so you can see what you’re storing.
Stackable shoe shelves can be used for shoes but they can also be used for organizing clothing and office papers.
Drawer dividers can be used just about anywhere including the kitchen, office, bathroom, garage and dresser drawers.
