Packages & Pricing

What staging packages do you offer?

We offer four packages: Smart Start, Smart Style, Smart Signature, and Smart Luxe. Each covers different room counts and square footage needs. More information can be found on our Pricing page. For larger homes or a custom mix of rooms, call us for an estimate.

Is staging worth it for lower-priced listings?

Yes. Staged homes typically sell faster and for more, regardless of price point. Our Smart Start package is designed to deliver maximum impact for entry-level and mid-range listings.

What happens after the contract term ends?

After your contract term, furniture rental continues at a daily rate depending on your package (see our Pricing page), giving you flexibility if your listing takes longer than expected.

Can I upgrade my package after booking?

Yes. If you need to add rooms or upgrade your package, reach out to us and we'll do our best to accommodate based on availability.

Do you remove the furniture after the listing sells?

Yes. Furniture removal is included in our pricing. We coordinate pickup once the sale is complete or the contract term ends.

The Process

Do you stage vacant homes?

Yes. Vacant home staging is one of our specialties. We bring in curated furnishings, décor, and accessories to transform empty spaces into buyer-ready homes.

Do you stage occupied homes too?

Yes. We offer occupied staging services to help sellers prepare their home for listing without a full furniture rental.

Do you stage model homes?

Yes. Model home staging is one of our core services. We create lifestyle-driven spaces that help builders and developers connect with buyers emotionally.

How long does staging installation take?

Most installs are completed in 3–4 hours depending on the package and property size.

Do I need to be present during installation?

You or your agent just need to provide access. We handle everything else — no need to be present the entire time.

Do you offer listing photography?

Yes — Stage Smart is one of the few Portland staging companies that bundles staging with professional listing photography. One team, one call, one seamless process.

For Realtors

Do you work with real estate agents?

Yes — a large part of our business is working directly with Portland-area real estate agents. We understand your timelines and can coordinate staging around your listing schedule.

Can realtors set up a preferred vendor account?

Yes — reach out to us directly to discuss preferred vendor arrangements for agents with multiple listings per month.

What makes Stage Smart different from other Portland staging companies?

We combine modern, market-driven design with a seamless process built for real estate agents. Our staging + photography bundle, four flexible packages, and fast turnaround set us apart.
