IS A STAGING REPORT REQUIRED?
A staging report is provided for both occupied and vacant homes. It outlines what the sellers should address prior to stage day. Occupied Homes; includes things like de-cluttering, furniture removal or repositioning, painting, etc. Vacant Homes; focus is more on the condition of the house, everything from minor items such any misc. repairs, painting, light fixtures to more major elements such as flooring replacement, cabinet repainting, counter replacement, etc.

The report is a recommendation only; the sellers always have the option to do as much or little as they prefer. However, we encourage the sellers to always try and do as much as possible as these items are always the best way to get you top dollar for the property.

HOW LONG DOES MY HOME REMAIN STAGED?
Your home typically remains staged until Sold. Staging is billed on a monthly basis (30 day cycle). If you require your home to remain staged longer, the additional monthly fee is priced at 50% (plus hst) of the original or first months rental. There is no obligation to keep the home staged longer than the first billing cycle, however we leave that entirely up to you.

WHAT ARE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR HOME STAGING?
We try to keep this as straight forward as possible;
- Full payment of the staging fee is due 48hrs  prior to your scheduled stage date. An invoice is e-mailed to you for payment processing. Payment can be made as outlined on your invoice: e-transfer or cheque 
- For rental renewals (following the first 30 day period), 50% (plus hst) of the original or first month rental will be charged on a reoccurring basis, until the rental agreement is cancelled or property has been sold. An invoice for the extension of rental will be sent 72hrs (3 days) prior to expiration of rental period unless cancelled by client via e-mail to info@jtcointeriors.ca

Minimum rental period for each home is one (1) month. Clients will not be entitled to any refund, rebate, and/or discount for any portion of the staging fee for the first thirty (30) days.
