Question 4

Will you install curtain rods?

What if the linens or upholstery get dirty while in my listing?

Accepted Answer

There will be a $150 cleaning fee assessed for dirty upholstery or linens.

Question 7

Do you provide door mats?

Accepted Answer

We do not provide door mats?

Question 8

We have pets; how does this affect an occupied staging?

Accepted Answer

We ask that you keep your pets off of staging furniture and linens but we understand that is not always easy. Due to the more intensive cleaning required for furniture and linens placed in homes with pets, we add a $150 cleaning fee to occupied stagings with pets.

Question 9

Can I rearrange the staging furniture after you leave?

Accepted Answer

We ask that you do not move staging furniture; it makes you liable for any damages caused from moving.

Question 10

How long is my staging rental for?

Accepted Answer

Our staging pricing includes 60 days of furniture and accessory rental; after the initial 60 days it will be 30% of your original price plus tax.

Question 11

When is my invoice due?

Accepted Answer

You will be invoiced when your staging is complete. Your payment is due upon receipt of the invoice.

Question 12

Can I pay from escrow?

Accepted Answer

We prefer not to take payment from escrow but in some situations we are willing to accommodate this request for agents we have worked with consistently. Due to the additional administrative overhead of taking payment from escrow there will be a $150 fee for any invoices being paid from escrow whether it is part or all of the invoice.  Staging insurance can not be paid for from escrow. If your staging expires and you choose not to continue to have the listing staged, your invoice will become due in full.

Question 13

What is Staging Risk Management (SRM)?

Accepted Answer

Your insurance policy may not cover the staging contents placed in your home.
· Most insurance policies only cover the items owned by the insured.
· Most homeowner policies do not provide coverage if the property is not occupied.

Ready Interiors Staging offers optional insurance coverage under the SRM (Staging Risk Management) Staging Policy, to protect all of Ready Interior’s home staging items while in your home against theft, vandalism, water damage, fire and other covered perils. 
Ask your Ready Interiors home stager for details.
