Selling or leasing out a commercial property can be more complicated than selling or renting out a residential property. With a smaller pool of potential buyers or renters, a higher financial commitment involved, and the need for the space to adequately suit a business model, more commercial property owners are opting for staging services.
Thanks to commercial staging services, properties are more likely to resonate with prospective buyers and lessees. Professional stagers have the ability to reconfigure a commercial space into something more finished, inviting, and turnkey-ready, adequately showcasing the property’s true potential.
You might be set on getting your commercial property staged to help it exit the market quicker, but now you’re left wondering: when should a commercial staging consultation be booked?
Timing Matters
Ideally, a staging consultation should take place before a property is listed for sale or lease. Waiting too long to book a consultation could end up delaying the time in which your project could have been completed, thus delaying your ability to get your property listed and sold or leased.
While it’s up to you when and if you’ll schedule a commercial staging consultation, keeping timing in mind is of utmost importance.
How Long Does Commercial Staging Take?
It helps to know how long a commercial staging project typically takes when determining when you should book your staging consultation.
The consultation itself typically takes a few hours, followed by a few days to a couple of weeks for the planning and preparation stage, depending on the extent of the project. The entire project should be completed around the 2-to-4-week mark, again depending on what the project fully entails.
Knowing the latter information, booking a commercial staging consultation a month or so before you decide to actually list the property is a good idea, if not sooner so you can have professional, post-staging photos taken for your listing.
Can You Book Commercial Staging After Listing?
While commercial staging typically takes place before publicly listing a property on the market, you can still get staging done if the property has already been listed. Many property owners opt for this route if their previous listing has not been successful in acquiring an interested buyer or lessee.
During a commercial staging consultation, our experienced stagers can help determine why your property might not be adequately piquing interest. We can also come up with a personalized plan to help revitalize your commercial space to successfully attract buyer or lessee attention.
Get a Commercial Staging Consultation ASAP
Whether you have already tried listing your commercial property with little luck or have yet to place it on the market, getting a staging consultation sooner rather than later is always recommended. The sooner your consultation, the quicker the staging process can take place. In turn, the sooner you can get your property leased out or sold.
