Staging for Short Term Rentals in 30A/PCB

Most renters are choosing a property based solely on the photos they see online and staging is key to getting the best return.  You want people to fall in love with your condo. This is why making your space feel like a place they can see themselves is so important.  While it is not something you must do, I really think it brings life to the photos.  

 

 
 
Basic Table Setting & Coffee in Bed!
 
Now included standard in my Short Term Rental Photo Package, for no additional charge. This includes me setting the table with my chargers/placemats/ napkins/ napkin decor and your plates/wine glasses.  It also includes me setting a tray up (mine) with coffee mugs (yours if they are cute, or mine) on the master bed.  This does not include full table scape, table centerpieces or table decor. If you have a centerpiece I will use it.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Custom Quoted Staging! 

Do you want more? Charcuterie boards, wine, fruit, muffins? Staging of Items you have ordered but need assembled? I do that too and the consultation is always free. 

I will send you a list of options similar to what you see below.  Please note, every house/condo is unique so prices will vary.  I will give specific notes about your personal property.  Things I think we should highlight, things I would change.  Please remember these are my suggestions and nothing is set in stone. 

 

The Process! 

This is an actual client’s staging/finishing process from start to finish.

This property was a new purchase for out of state owners.  We had been in contact for a while but they had only wanted photos and planed to do all of the staging themselves.  Unfortunately their trip was cut short so I stepped in to help.  Below are cell phone images I took at the consultation.  This condo had been recently painted so it was a great blank slate. 

The following info was sent to the client after this consultation.  We chatted and she really wanted to bring in more of the turquoise from the master bed pillows.  

Option 1– No staging, just photos $300

 
Option 2– Minimal Staging & Photos $500
 
Setting your table with your current palm dishes, and 4 new placemats (yours to keep).  Replacing the potpourri in the hurricane glass with starfish (yours to keep).  Using one of my trays (not to keep),  muffins and fruit for a breakfast in bed feel.  Hanging your round mirror in the bedroom.  Putting your rug that is in the closet on the patio for photos and bringing it back in incase of wind. 
 
Option 3– Table Staging, New place settings (yours to keep) & Photos $700
 
Everything above plus 6 white placemats, 6 turquoise chargers, 6 white plates, 6 turquoise napkins, 6 starfish for table setting. 
 
Option 4 -Full staging, and photos, all items will be yours to keep $1800 ( this fee includes my handyman hanging the mirrors)

At this point the client gave me the go ahead for the full staging and we went to work.  We started on a Wednesday and the final photos were delivered the following Tuesday.
