Design
Consultation

A comprehensive walkthrough with a room-by-room action plan. Expert guidance for agents and sellers who want a roadmap before committing to full staging.

From $350
Why It Works

Not every listing needs
full staging.

For DIY Sellers

You're willing to do the work yourself but need professional direction. We'll tell you exactly what to remove, rearrange, paint, or upgrade. You execute the plan at your own pace and budget.

For Agents Advising Clients

Your sellers need honest feedback before listing, but they're not ready to commit to full staging. A consultation gives them a clear roadmap and realistic expectations about what's required to compete.

For Budget-Conscious Listings

Full staging isn't always necessary — or feasible. A consultation identifies the highest-impact changes you can make with minimal investment. Strategic fixes beat expensive overhauls.

What You Get

A complete action plan
for every room

In-Home Walkthrough

90-120 minute session where we tour every room, discuss your goals, and answer questions in real time. Bring your agent — they'll learn what buyers care about.

Written Report

Detailed room-by-room recommendations delivered within 48 hours. Includes photos, actionable to-do lists, prioritized improvements, and estimated costs if you choose to hire pros.

Priority Ranking

We separate must-do fixes from nice-to-haves. Budget $2,000? Here's where it goes. Listing in a week? Here's the bare minimum. Strategic decisions based on market conditions.

Follow-Up Support

30 days of email support after your consultation. Questions about paint colors, furniture placement, or whether you actually need to replace that couch? We're available.

Staging Discount

If you book full staging services within 30 days, your consultation fee is credited toward the staging cost. Think of it as a paid trial run.

Fast Turnaround

Book today, consult tomorrow. Most consultations happen within 48-72 hours of request. Your written report follows 48 hours after the walkthrough. No waiting, no delays.

Ideal For

This consultation is
perfect for

Sellers Who Want to DIY

You're handy, budget-conscious, or simply prefer doing things yourself. You don't need someone to execute — you need someone to tell you what to execute.

Agents Pre-Listing

You need to have "the staging conversation" with sellers who aren't convinced it's necessary. Bring us in as the third-party expert. We'll deliver the message you can't.

Homes That Just Need Tweaks

The property is mostly ready, but something's off. You need fresh eyes to identify what's holding it back. Often it's 3-4 simple fixes that make all the difference.

Investors or Flippers

You're renovating for resale and want design direction before finalizing finishes, paint colors, or upgrades. We'll tell you what buyers in your price point expect to see.

Second Opinions

Your home has been on the market for 30+ days without an offer. Something's not working. We'll identify what's turning buyers away and give you a clear fix-it plan.

Budget Test-Drive

You're considering full staging but want to understand what it entails before committing. A consultation shows you our process, and the fee credits toward staging if you proceed.
