Our Services

Where Buyer Impressions Take Shape

Buyer response is shaped in the first moments of a showing and reinforced as buyers move through the space. We stage homes with a market-aware approach that highlights strengths, minimizes friction, and supports momentum. Each plan is tailored to the home, the pricing strategy, and the buyers it is meant to reach.

Pre-Staging Guidance Included
We provide recommendations on paint, lighting, and select adjustments that help prepare the home before staging begins.

What Davis Staging Offers

Vacant Stage

Starting at $2350

Vacant staging establishes scale, function, and flow in an empty home, giving buyers the visual cues they need to engage. We design each stage specifically for the property, using full-scale furnishings and intentional layouts that support the architecture, price point, and target buyer. The goal is a presentation that helps buyers understand how the home lives, guides movement through the space, and creates momentum from the first showing through offer.

Market-aware staging plan, including pre-staging needs such as
Full furnishing of key living spaces in accordance with agreement
Styling to support flow, light, and proportion
Coordination aligned with listing timelines

Occupied Stage

Starting at $750

Occupied staging works with what’s already in the home, refining and editing rather than starting from scratch. We assess existing furnishings, layout, and flow, then make targeted adjustments to improve scale, clarity, and buyer perception. The goal is to help buyers see the home itself, not the homeowner’s life, while keeping the process efficient and respectful of daily living.

Occupied Consulting

$425 for up to two hours

An occupied consult is a strategic, walk-through consultation designed to help prepare a lived-in home for the market. We evaluate layout, furnishings, and buyer flow, then provide clear, prioritized recommendations to improve presentation without introducing staging inventory. This service is ideal when sellers want professional guidance but plan to implement changes themselves.

Success Stories

I am super impressed with Christine. She made an empty bland house feel like a home in just a few days. But more than that, she looks at her work not only how it looks and feels in person, but also how it will look in photos. It is just Incredible and beautiful.

Frequently Asked Questions

No…and in fact, we expect that you won’t be. We work best by being able to be in “the zone” and that requires us to be able to focus on the task at hand. Furthermore, we move fast and are coming and going with bulky, heavy items; maneuvering around others not in our crew runs the risk of injuries or damage.

It might feel weird to you at first, but all staging decisions are at our discretion. Staging isn’t the same as interior design; we are making our selections for the buyer, not for the seller. Trust us as the staging professionals to know what your home needs to sell as fast as possible for the highest price.

Yes, it often is! We are constantly rotating our inventory and selling our inventory is a wonderful way to accomplish this. We love when our “working pieces” get to retire and be enjoyed by a family in their home.
