Staging Services

At McDowell Made, we know that every neighborhood, listing and buyer are one of a kind, which means your staging must be too. Instead of copy and pasting like most firms, we are curating and creating.

With a variety of offerings and diverse design styles our stagings are made for you.

Our method makes your listing stand out online, makes buyers feel at home and makes the sale.

The whole shebang! A fully furnished, installed design that elevates your listing to stand out on the market. We curate every detail to highlight the best features of the home and strategically design to guide the buyer’s eye both online and in person.

Physical staging helps homes sell faster, which can save you thousands in ongoing mortgage and carrying costs. Many of our clients come to us after their empty or virtually staged listings have sat on the market for months. Once we staged, we often see these homes sell in weeks. That’s why we believe in doing it right the first time.

Unlike many staging firms, we do not charge a rental fee. We believe the purpose of staging is to help your home sell quickly, so charging fees when the market takes longer than expected feels contrary to that goal. Our furnishings stay in place until you ask us to pick them up.

Lets do it!

Partial Staging

Our stagings are made for you. We will meet you where your’e at where most staging firms wont.

We know that real life doesn’t always make it possible to exit your space before a sale. Or, you have already moved out but have select pieces you’d like to incorporate in a space to be more economic.

  • We walk-through to evaluate your home, layout, and existing furnishings.

  • Our proposal will map out our expertise on what to keep, or temporarily store as well as what we would bring in to elevate the listing and the staging fee.

  • Our scope can include project management for moving items into storage, painting and repairs should your project call for it.

  • Once installed, your home will feel like yours but will appeal to the broader market and ensure a faster sale, getting you closer to your next steps.
