What Is a Pre‑Listing Consultation—and Why It Matters

If you’re preparing to sell your home in Arizona, one of the smartest first steps is scheduling a Pre‑Listing Consultation with StyleHouse Home Staging and Redesign. It’s a simple, one-time appointment that can make a huge difference in how your home looks, feels, and performs on the market.

What Is a Pre‑Listing Consultation?

Our Pre‑Listing Consultation is a personalized, in-home walk-through where we assess your property from a buyer’s perspective. We’ll review everything from curb appeal to room layout to help make sure your home is market-ready.

The service lasts up to two hours and you’ll receive professional, honest, and friendly advice on how to present your home in the best possible light.

Our goal is to help you shift from living in your home to listing your home—and that starts with a solid plan.

Why Schedule One?

Because great online photos and first impressions matter. Most buyers scroll through dozens of listings in minutes—so how your home looks from the curb and through a screen plays a huge role in getting showings and offers.

Here’s what a consultation helps with:

• Creating a clear, actionable plan before you list
• Highlighting your home’s strongest features
• Suggesting small changes that make a big impact
• Helping your home photograph beautifully
• Positioning your property to sell quickly and competitively

What Do We Cover?

We tailor the consultation to your home’s unique layout, features, and selling goals. During the walk-through, we’ll cover:

• Curb Appeal – First impressions begin outside. We’ll suggest small enhancements to help your home shine from the street.
• Furniture Layout & Flow – We’ll recommend ways to make rooms feel more spacious, functional, and balanced.
• Highlighting Fixed Assets – We’ll help draw attention to your home’s best features (think fireplaces, high ceilings, large windows).
• Paint & Lighting Recommendations – If areas feel ready for a refresh, we’ll suggest neutral paint tones or lighting updates that make a big impact.
• Showing Prep Tips – We’ll talk about how to prepare for professional photos and buyer visits.
• A Personalized Action Plan – After the consultation, you’ll have a clear, prioritized list of what to do next.

What the Consultation Does Not Include

The Pre‑Listing Consultation is an advisory service only. It does not include staging items such as art, accessories, or furniture. But if you love our recommendations and want help bringing them to life, we have two great options:

• Owner-Occupied Staging – We use your existing furniture and décor, thoughtfully rearranged, edited, and enhanced with a few key touches, to improve flow, highlight space, and appeal to today’s buyers.
• Owner-Occupied Staging – PLUS – We provide art, accessories, and furniture to transform key areas for maximum buyer appeal.

These services are perfect for homeowners who want more hands-on support—and stunning final results.
