Start with a conversation, not a sales pitch.

Why we start with a free consultation
Quoting a staging project sight-unseen is a coin flip. A 3,200 sqft Coto de Caza estate and a 1,400 sqft Mission Viejo condo are not the same engagement — even if both list above $1M. Pricing them from a brief phone description is how stagers end up under-scoping (and over-promising) or over-quoting (and losing the listing).
An in-home consultation takes the guesswork out. We walk the property, see the floor plan, the natural light, the existing inventory (if any), and the buyer profile this home is competing for. Then we recommend a specific scope — vacant, occupied, or partial — with a real quote and a realistic timeline.
Sometimes the recommendation is “you don’t need full staging — just declutter, rearrange three rooms, and add a few accent pieces.” Sometimes it’s “this property would benefit from a full vacant install across all main rooms.” The point is, we tell you what we’d actually recommend — not what generates the biggest invoice.

Some staging companies in Orange County charge $150–$400 for an initial consultation. We don’t. The consultation is part of how we earn the project — not a separate revenue stream. If staging isn’t the right fit for your property, you’ve lost nothing but 45 minutes.

Frequently asked
Questions sellers and listing agents ask before booking a consultation.
What is a home staging consultation?
A home staging consultation is an in-home walk-through where a professional stager evaluates the property and provides specific recommendations for preparing it for market. It covers furniture placement, decluttering priorities, what to keep vs. remove, paint or finish suggestions, and whether the home needs vacant staging, occupied staging, or just light edits. Staging OC consultations are free.
How much does a staging consultation cost?
Staging OC consultations are free. Some staging companies in Orange County charge $150 to $400 for an initial consultation. We don’t charge because the consultation is how we determine if staging is the right fit and what the right scope would be — it’s part of how we earn the project, not a separate revenue stream.
How long does a consultation take?
Most consultations take 30 to 45 minutes. Larger homes or properties with significant scope decisions may run up to an hour. We work efficiently — your time matters.
What do I need to prepare before the consultation?
Nothing. Just be there (or have your listing agent there) and have access to the property. Don’t pre-clean or pre-stage anything — we want to see the home as it is so we can give accurate recommendations.
What happens after the consultation?
Within 24 to 48 hours, you’ll receive a written quote with recommended scope (vacant, occupied, or partial staging), specific room recommendations, pricing, and timeline. If you decide to move forward, we send a simple staging agreement and 50% deposit holds your install date.
When should I schedule my consultation?
Ideally 4 to 6 weeks before your target listing date. That gives time for the consultation, decision-making, install scheduling, and any prep work (decluttering, minor repairs) you might want to do beforehand. We can move faster when needed — tight timelines are workable.
