Our Process for Streamlined Property Access

1. Why Property Access Matters

Flexible Scheduling: Our staff occasionally needs to enter the property to install or adjust furnishings, perform touch-ups, and remove items when the staging term concludes.

Uninterrupted Service: Ensuring consistent access helps us complete tasks on schedule, reducing the risk of delays and additional charges.

Seamless Coordination: Whether you’re still living in the home or have it vacant, clear guidelines on how our team enters and leaves the property prevent confusion or missed visits.

2. Standard Industry Practice: Lockboxes

Lockbox Installation: In most cases—particularly for unoccupied homes—we strongly recommend installing a lockbox and sharing the code with our team. This is an industry-standard approach that allows for quick and straightforward entry, especially if you cannot be on-site.

Code Sharing: Once you’ve set up the lockbox, simply provide us with the lockbox code and any relevant instructions so our staff can access the property safely and efficiently.

Digital Door Codes: Alternatively, if your property has a smart lock or digital entry system, you can share the temporary code instead of using a physical lockbox.

3. If You’re Still Occupying the Home

Coordination with Homeowners: For clients who continue to reside in the property, we’ll work with you to establish a convenient entry method—whether that’s a shared key, a digital code, or scheduling a time when you can provide access directly.

Flexible Arrangements: Just ensure we have a reliable way to enter during agreed-upon times, so we can complete each phase without interruption.

4. Protecting Your Valuables

Secure Storage: We strongly recommend placing any high-value items, such as jewelry, heirlooms, electronics, or sensitive documents, in a locked area or off-site storage.

Peace of Mind: While we take precautions to safeguard your property, securing valuables ensures there’s no added stress or worry about personal belongings during staging visits.

5. From Setup to Removal

Our need for access continues through the entire staging lifecycle:

Initial Walkthrough: We’ll assess the home’s design needs, take photos, and plan furniture placement.

Staging Day: Our crew delivers and arranges furniture, artwork, and accessories.

Maintenance Visits (If Needed): Any follow-up visits to adjust items, handle minor touch-ups, or resolve concerns.

Final Removal: Once your property sells or the rental term ends, we remove all staging items, leaving the space ready for new owners or your next steps.
