Custom staging starts at $3,475 for smaller properties and scales based on job size, contract length, and location within Greater Boston. Our Essentials™ modular staging program starts at $2,599 for a 4-week rental. Both options include installation, styling, and removal. We provide detailed written quotes before any work begins.
-
We offer 4-week, 8-week, and 12-week and longer contracts for Custom staging. After the initial term, renewals are available. For Essentials™ staging, after the initial 4-week rental, extensions are billed weekly — so you only pay for the time you actually need.
-
We recommend reaching out as early as possible — ideally two to four weeks before your target installation date for a Custom staging. During peak spring and fall markets, our calendar fills quickly. For Essentials™ orders, we can typically install within 7 days.
-
Custom staging is fully tailored — we select furniture, artwork, and accessories specifically for your property and target buyer from our 10,000 sq ft warehouse. Essentials™ is our modular program for properties under 1,500 sq ft — you choose the furniture style and accessories palette, and we handle the rest. Essentials™ is faster, more streamlined, and more affordably priced.
-
Our Custom staging process is discretionary — we select all furniture, artwork, and accessories based on the property and target buyer, informed by your directives. We don't provide a materials list or design board as part of the standard Custom staging service. If you'd like a detailed design document, we're happy to provide that as an additional paid service. Just ask when you request your quote.
-
In our experience — and we've staged over $1.15 billion in Greater Boston real estate — yes, consistently. Our clients have seen properties sell with multiple offers, well above asking price, and significantly faster than comparable unstaged listings. One recent Somerville property staged by Red Door sold for over $300,000 above asking price.
-
No — we just need access to the property. We'll coordinate access information with you in advance. When a Custom staging installation is complete, we contact you directly to offer a walk-through before your photographer arrives. We want you to love it as much as we do.
-
