Service Contracts

Purpose of the Home Staging Contract

If you provide home staging and interior design services to customers who are preparing to sell their homes, it is essential to use a written Home Staging Contract. This document sets out clear expectations and responsibilities for both service providers and homeowners, ensuring a professional and organized approach to staging projects.

Sale Guarantees and Pricing

The homeowner acknowledges that while staging can enhance the presentation of the property, it does not guarantee a sale or that the home will sell at the asking price. The contract clarifies that the results of staging are influenced by many factors beyond the control of the design consultant.

Staging Service Exclusions

The staging services outlined in the contract do not include the costs associated with hiring outside contractors. This means that expenses for painters, repair professionals, or other specialists needed to prepare the home are not covered by the staging agreement and must be handled separately by the homeowner.

Use of Furnishings and Additional Costs

Whenever possible, the design consultant will utilize the homeowner’s existing furniture and décor. If additional items are necessary, the homeowner is responsible for the costs of renting furniture, and purchasing any accessories or supplies required for staging and redesigning the property for sale.

Homeowner Responsibilities

The homeowner is solely responsible for packing personal belongings, de-personalizing and decluttering spaces, cleaning the home, and covering any storage costs for items that need to be removed during the staging process.

Proper Use of Rented Items

The homeowner agrees that rented items provided for staging will be used exclusively as display pieces and not for any other purpose during their time in the home.

Additional Clauses and Provisions

The contract includes additional clauses specifically for homes that are vacant prior to staging. There are also special provisions addressing services related to virtual tours, ensuring clarity for both in-person and digital presentations of the staged property.
