Choosing between Spade and Archer's Guaranteed Home Staging® and Conventional Home Staging services depends on your financial preferences, risk tolerance, and specific staging needs. Here's a guide to help you make an informed decision:
Guaranteed Home Staging® (Pay-at-Close):
Payment Structure: Requires a non-refundable deposit of $750 to secure your installation date, with the remaining balance due upon the successful sale of your home.
Risk Alignment: Shifts the financial risk from you to Spade and Archer. If your home doesn't sell, you owe nothing beyond the initial deposit.
Scope: Available exclusively for fully staged, vacant homes.
Ideal For: Sellers who prefer to minimize upfront costs and align their interests with the staging company, ensuring both parties are motivated for a quick sale.
Conventional Home Staging (Pay-Up-Front):
Payment Structure: Involves an initial payment covering the staging fee and the first month's rental. Subsequent monthly rental fees apply until the staging is removed, regardless of the sale status.
Risk Assumption: You bear the financial risk, as payments continue irrespective of whether the home sells.
Scope: Applicable for both fully and partially staged homes, accommodating various staging requirements.
Ideal For: Sellers who are comfortable with upfront costs and may have occupied homes or specific rooms they wish to stage.
Making Your Decision:
Financial Considerations: If you prefer to limit upfront expenses and share the financial risk, Guaranteed Home Staging® is a suitable choice. Conversely, if you're prepared to invest upfront and manage ongoing costs, Conventional Home Staging offers flexibility.
Property Status: For vacant homes that would benefit from comprehensive staging, Guaranteed Home Staging® is ideal. If your home is occupied or requires partial staging, Conventional Home Staging is more appropriate.
Risk Tolerance: Evaluate your comfort level with financial risk. Guaranteed Home Staging® reduces your risk by aligning Spade and Archer's incentives with yours, while Conventional Home Staging places the financial responsibility on you.
By assessing your financial preferences, the condition of your property, and your risk tolerance, you can select the staging service that best aligns with your goals. Spade and Archer's diverse offerings ensure that, regardless of your choice, your home will be presented in its best light to potential buyers.
