Home staging timeline and process

The Complete Staging Timeline

Understanding the home staging timeline helps you plan effectively for your home sale. The entire process typically takes 1-2 weeks from consultation to completion, but several factors can influence this timeframe.

Staging Process Phases

Phase 1: Initial Consultation (1-2 hours)

A staging professional visits your home to assess the space, discuss your goals, and create a staging plan tailored to your property and target market.

Phase 2: Planning & Inventory (1-2 days)

The staging team creates a detailed plan, selects appropriate furniture and accessories, and schedules delivery and installation.

Phase 3: Prep Work (1-3 days)

Decluttering, deep cleaning, minor repairs, and any necessary paint touch-ups are completed to prepare the space for staging.

Phase 4: Installation (4-8 hours)

Professional staging team delivers and arranges all furniture, artwork, and accessories to create the perfect buyer-ready presentation.
