Deciding how to present your home upon its sale is among the most important issues faced by sellers of residential real estate. In today's competitive market, how does a seller differentiate a property from the competition? What must be done to attract the attention of – and ultimately an offer from – its target buyer? An increasing number of sellers in high-cost real estate markets from coast-to-coast recognize the benefits of home staging:
More offers
Quicker sales
Higher prices
Staging a home for sale typically involves four steps
We schedule an on-site meeting to become familiar with the style and scale of the property to analyze how best to stage the listing.
We determine the amount of furnishings needed after receiving a floor plan.
This is followed by a proposal to the seller that provides pricing for the rental of furnishings (two-month minimum) and cost of services, including design, packing, moving, installation and removal of furnishings.
Once an agreement is signed and a 50% deposit is received, the design and decision-making process begins.
Upon advance notice (minimum of one week), home staging begins and is completed in up to three days.

Heidi Pribell
In 1996, Heidi Pribell founded Heidi Pribell Interiors, a distinctive design studio (based in Cambridge) which creates evocative, inspired environments for a discerning clientele.
Pribell puts a fresh modern twist on classic design, which gives her unique interiors a young, elegant and sophisticated appeal.
After graduating from Harvard University and attending the New York School of Interior Design, Ms. Pribell was a dealer in fine antiques.
She sold objects to venerable institutions such as the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Rhode Island School of Design, the Los Angeles County Museum and the Chicago Art Institute. Ms. Pribell continues to acquire exceptional pieces, many of which can be found in the homes of her clients. Her design work received "Best of Boston" awards in 2008, 2009 and 2010 (as chosen by Boston Home magazine) and has been widely published, including most recently in The Boston Globe Magazine.
In 2011, Ms. Pribell acquired the assets of a Cambridge-based residential real estate staging business and launched Up-Stage.
In 2013, she moved the business to a modern 6,000-square-foot warehouse and showroom in Waltham.
