GETTING READY TO MOVE? We offer Home Market Preparation Services:
- De-cluttering & Organizing – reduce your stress and anxiety level before you stage your home or before you pack for your next big move.
- One of the key steps in successful home staging is de-cluttering the property. Clutter creates visual chaos in the buyer’s mind, and buyers want to move into a space they perceive as peaceful, relaxing and elegant. That mental chaos can ultimately detract from the sale price.
- Prior to staging the home, a very thorough cleaning is required, paying attention to even the smallest detail. We have established relationships with cleaning crews who are as obsessed with cleanliness and detail, as we are about our staging services. Every vendor who teams with CIS must be absolutely dependable, responsive, licensed, bonded and insured.
- We will work with you (or work independently, if preferred) to tame the chaos of your move by handling the details of your move, de-cluttering, organizing and helping you to streamline your home’s contents prior to packing.
- Packing & Storage -- Too busy to pack? We can organize and safely pack your belongings for you, even while you’re at work or off-site. Arrive home to labeled and organized packed boxes, complete with a computerized and coded spreadsheet that will make retrieving and unpacking needed items a snap.
- Staging Supervision of Outside Moving Services – we can orchestrate your move from start to finish, from soliciting bids for moving services on your behalf, then supervising your moving and service vendors prior to and the day of your move.
