Home staging built for occupied NYC listings
Staging+ combines targeted repairs and smart staging for one flat fee. No initial term, no rental extension fees, and staging stays in place until the contract settles.
One team, one point of contact. You stay hands-off.
Occupied homes, staged around a lifetime of belongings
Your sellers have lived in their home for decades, and it shows. Instead of emptying it and renting furniture, we make the repairs buyers notice and stage around their best pieces: the memorable and the valuable. What doesn’t fit the story is donated or sold, so the home shows like new and lists on time.
Downsizing boomers
Retired couples, widows, and siblings helping aging parents move on from a long-held home.
Estate properties
Inherited homes managed by out-of-state children, family members, or an executor.
Life transitions
Growing families, divorcing parents, and busy professionals who can’t take on the prep themselves.
Prepared by the seller vs. prepared by Chelsea
Each comparison is two units in the same building with matching square footage. One prepared by the seller, one by Chelsea.
