Staging

Real Estate Home Staging Service

Staging with quality, high-end pieces will elevate the home and help buyers imagine themselves in the space. Our staging team are experts at creating a balance between a home that feels lived in and inviting, while styled to be a buyer’s canvas.

Before listing, we evaluate your home to find any repairs, cleaning, and updates that could generate an exponential return on investment. We lend up to $3K for cosmetic repair work because in our experience, it always pays off.

Mountain Luxury owns all our staging furnishings which allows us to offer a flat-rate, discounted staging fee, rather than a weekly or monthly fee like other brokerages.

Staging Case Study

A client bought his home in Ogden Valley for about $450K in a foreclosure sale through Mountain Luxury. Over the next six years his family grew, and their needs and lifestyle changed. It was time to sell. However, the home was very dated and needed work. We recommended updates and repairs that added up to $50K, ouch.

Mountain Luxury collected bids from our network of trustworthy contractors, and oversaw all of the scheduling and details. The owners went on vacation while the renovations took place.

We managed the entire process—the driveway was repaired, the interior received new paint, and the entry door was re-stained. We had the cabinetry touched up, replaced the carpet, buffed out the scratches in the hardwood floors, replaced the dishwasher and microwave, caulked gaps around the windows, freshened up the landscaping, gave the place a thorough cleaning and staged it with upscale furnishings and decor.

The first person to tour the home fell in love with it, and made a full-price offer. The $50K investment brought an increase of $341K to the final sales price, for a net return of $291K, or five times the investment. This home went from $225 per square foot to $301 per square foot.

Not every seller’s circumstances align with this scenario, but it demonstrates the degree of expertise and scope of service that Mountain Luxury offers.
