What is staging?

Staging is one of the most important things you can do to help sell your home. There’s a reason why some of the largest realtors and developers in Philadelphia, like Julie Welker, Joanne Davidow, Ellen Steiner, Mike McCann and Alan Domb use Busybee staging. It simply works!

  • Staging is about showcasing, marketing, and positioning a property for sale.
  • Staging is about rearranging and accessorizing to neutralize, de-personalize and to capitalize on your properties' best features in order to appeal to a large segment of the buying public.
  • Staging is about appealing to the buyer's senses, creating an emotional attachment that makes a potential buyer want to call your house a "home."
  • Staging is about making a small investment in order to secure a larger profit, in a shorter amount of time.
  • Staging rates vary depending upon number of rooms, square footage and layout. Standard terms are for 3-months, with long term and volume discount rates available.
  • Please call Staging Director Mark at 267-515-3557 or e-mail mark@busybeephilly.com to schedule a free proposal visit to your home. The starting point for our home staging is $1,500, with an average 1-bedroom stage to include living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom costing approximately $3,000.

Virtual Staging

The latest trend in a struggling market and a difficult economy is virtual staging. Let the talented designers at Busybee bring elements of our real staging operation to your home selling plan at a reduced cost. While nothing can replace a real staging, virtual staging is a program where we photograph select empty rooms of your home and create a 3-D computer representation of how we would stage the space. For $500 you can have 3-rooms of your home virtually staged, and you will have the photos to use for advertising or for your agent to post for the public to see. An empty home struggles to get sold, so if real staging is out of your budget, let us create a perfect virtual stage for you.
