"We bought our vacation home without being there in person. Linda helped us tremendously get the house ready not only for us but for AirBnB rental. Without her we wouldn’t be able to get all the furniture we need and stage it to be guest ready. She gave me peace of mind even though we live far away, I know I can always rely on her. We are now in our second phase and working on getting the deck and outdoor furniture ready for spring!"

"It is a waste of money. The great majority of people are not going to find any value out of the service. If you need design consultation, you need a full service consultation. If you already have knowledge and experience, and you just need to get a few ideas, then you don't need to pay for that. You can just get a magazine or a book since you already have the knowledge of basic designs in your head or a little bit of experience. To have someone call you and give you information over the phone, you are not getting the personal service that you need. You may as well take the money $49 and apply it to something else like getting someone else to come out and give you the service that you need. Because, you are not getting much, you are not getting anything at all. They are going to have you do the work. After talking to them and I was talking to other home designers, I found out that that was a waste of time and waste of money. I gave them a C because they didn't fail at what they do but they don't offer any value for what they do. There's not much value to it. The cost was fair. They didn't do a terrible job and the cost isn't terrible, it was only $49. It just has a very low value. For responsiveness I gave them a B because they will answer your phone and answer your emails."

"We had a bad experience with movers when we originally moved to South Carolina from Mississippi. The movers we had hired for our originally move, came a day late, reeked of drugs and alcohol and even against my better judgment against using them, ended up putting a nick and scratch in every piece of furniture that we manage to own.
From the start of the experience with Sure Load Moving I felt things went off to a good start. Out of the five moving companies I had lined up to come by for an estimate, they was the 1 of 4 that showed up for the estimate. Out of those 4 companies, Sure Load Moving was the only company that was earlier then the scheduled meeting time.
Daniel the gentleman that walked through the home with us, was completely immersed in the details of our move and we did not feel brushed off like we we did with the other companies.
Out of those 4 companies, 3 sent us an estimate, again Sure Load Moving beat them to the punch. Ralph with Customer Service was great in getting all the details communicated between all parties and to the movers on move day. Sure Load Moving was about $200 higher than our highest bid, but I went with my gut and glad I did.
Our move was fairly small and when the movers arrived they went to work putting blankets over everything we owned. I thought it would take longer than it did to get the boxes and furniture all loaded in the truck, but the 3 Movers (Mike was the lead s name?), knocked it out with care and precision.
That Thursday (they picked up Tuesday), that arrived at our new place. This was a little more tricky, parking was on a bad one-way street and one mover had to stay with the truck while the other 2 unloaded. as expected this part of the move took longer, mostly because of the walk and stairs and people running,biking and skateboarding up and down the sidewalk.
When it was all unloaded, the guys went to work putting things together, asking us where certain items should go, etc. After about 5 hours total, they was sweeping and folding blankets getting ready for the trip back home.
I would definitely recommend Sure Load Moving. And am confident you will enjoy the experience as much as I did.

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me.  Overall, they're good designs.  However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning.  I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.  
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question.  I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done.  If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.

Home Staging questions, answered by experts

It is generally better to stage a house than to leave it empty, as it can help the home sell faster and for a higher price. Staging helps potential buyers envision themselves living in the property. According to the National Association of Realtors, more than 75% of buyer’s agents report that staging makes it easier for buyers to build a connection with the home. Furthermore, a 2018 survey of over 4,200 professionally staged homes revealed that most sold for 6% to 25% more than their unstaged counterparts. Using a professional staging service can improve a buyer’s opinion of your house and may lead to higher offers.

The average cost to stage a home is around $1,800, with most sellers paying between $800 and $2,800 for professional services. However, the total cost can vary significantly, ranging from $500-$600 for an initial consultation to $5,000 or more for comprehensive, full-home staging.

The final price depends on several factors, including the home's size, location, and condition, as well as the number of rooms being staged. Other key cost drivers include whether you need to rent furniture, the quality of the decor, the stager's experience, and the duration of the staging services. The scope of the project also plays a role, from virtual staging and simple decluttering to full-service design, which may involve repairs and maintenance.

Fresh baseboards can increase a home’s value because they refresh the look of your walls. This can make a good impression on buyers and potentially boost your home’s resale value. This is particularly helpful if your existing baseboards are in bad shape, which can age the look of your walls. 

Consider also investing in the cost to install shoe molding for an extra-polished look that can further boost resale value.

Professional home staging services can vary between companies and properties, but the primary goal is to set up a house with aesthetic furniture and decor to entice potential buyers. Many stagers offer customizable packages, and you can often pay for additional services. Common offerings include:

  • Design and Planning: Color design, planning each room's layout, and professional interior design services.

  • Furniture and Decor: Choosing and renting furniture, decor, and artwork. This also includes the setup and takedown of all rented materials.

  • Arrangement and Organization: Rearranging existing furniture, decluttering, and organizing the space.

  • Ambiance: Creating a welcoming atmosphere with strategic lighting and accessories.

  • Repairs and Maintenance: Minor repairs, home maintenance, and addressing visible issues.

  • Curb Appeal: Improving the home's exterior with services like painting and garden bed management.

It's best to connect with a professional home stager to see what’s included in their specific packages or to request a custom service.

DIY staging is possible, but professional services enhance buyer appeal with expertly chosen furniture, layouts, and colors.
