The Staging Process
STEP 1 – CONSULTATION
Home Staging Consultation is a service offered to homeowners and realtors who prefer to carry out the staging work on their own but need an objective third party professional opinion.
A Consultation Report will be provided to the homeowner following the consultation. MyHomeStager.ca requires full payment prior to starting the consultation.
- An in-depth analysis (ACTION PLAN) of both the interior and exterior of the home completed by MyHomeStager.ca. A thorough room by room evaluation is conducted, including photographs and measurements.
- As part of the CONSULTATION FEE, a detailed written report of our findings and recommendations are presented and discussed with the homeowner and the agent. Various options are presented with respect to implementing the “ACTION PLAN” and how to “EXECUTE” the findings in the report by utilizing each of the 4 STEPS of The Staging Process.

Once we provide the homeowner with a Consultation Report to “EXECUTE” the Home Staging Project on their own, the homeowner may instead decide to have MyHomeStager.ca “EXECUTE” the Home Staging Project’s “ACTION PLAN” on the STAGING DAY! Therefore, every Home Staging Project by MyHomeStager.ca starts with a Home Staging Estimate. A Home Staging Estimate is an in-depth analysis and presentation of the associated costs to fully stage a home.
A Free Estimate for recommended Home Staging Services will be provided to the home owner within 24-48 hours following the consultation.
