Long answer: staging is a jam-packed process of moving, unpacking, arranging, re-arranging, and styling. The resulting mess poses potential for accidents, while client questions and convos slow down our work process. For these reasons, we ask that the property be vacated by the homeowner, agent, cleaning crews, or contractors on stage day.
