STAGING / HOME INSTALLATIONS
“Staging dream homes”
In a fiercely competitive market, homeowners need their properties to captivate potential buyers and command optimal value. StudioBARON provides visually compelling, camera-ready staging and styling for property owners and real-estate professionals. Our home installations re-envision traditional staging: Rather than imposing a cookie-cutter style, we amplify the unique features of each home, and transform it to stand out in a high-end market.
An agile team that brings both interior design and editorial expertise, we relentlessly curate each detail while helping the entire property convey its story. Taking into account neighborhood, architectural context, siting, etc., we conjure that intangible sense of home that makes buyers feel like curling up on the couch with a puppy the minute they walk through the door. And buyers can literally be ‘at home’ immediately; most of our freshly designed, clean, liveable interiors are available for purchase. An approach that considers the buyers’ needs makes properties feel move-in ready, and translates to a higher ROI for the seller.
SERVICES
Photographs of well-staged properties draw more prospective buyers on site. Staged properties sell for 5 -25% more than unstaged properties in the same area. We provide a selection of services to help sellers and real-estate professionals prepare camera-ready properties that stand out in very competitive markets.
