Home Staging Contracts

The home staging process is multilayered. There are a few steps involved before you actually begin staging a home to sell. The initial onsite visit, then providing the clients with a home staging proposal, and if they agree to the proposal, that is when the home staging contracts are sent out. 

I use to have two separate home staging contracts. One for occupied hands-on home staging, clients live in the home, and I would fine-tune the spaces. Then a contract for vacants. A few years ago I simplified and combined them.  

The reason I decided to combine them is that 99% of the time I would end up needing to have the occupied home client sign a vacant home staging contract as well. After fine-tuning some of their spaces, they would need to rent some art, or a sofa, rugs, etc., Which required a vacant contract.  

Okay, so the contract. I cover everything from liabilities, pricing, timing and even the use of photography. Any section that does not apply to the client I simply “X” it out in front of them. The contract might seem intense or long but I let my clients know it is just a lot of legal jargon to protect us both. 

Please note, sections D-I are adjusted from a third party rental company from 8 years ago when they allowed me to be the one point of contact for my clients. When I began staging I rented from a third party furniture rental company. They were fabulous to work with and I always recommend them still when I cannot complete a staging. But, to make it easier on my clients I handle all cost, the middleman, and that way they only sign one contract and write one check.

Last year I  shared my contract in word format so that others could use it and make it their own. I am offering it up again for the same price, $40 for my 7 page Home Staging Contract. If you have any questions feel free to let me know.
