Staging Homes for Sale: The Portable Storage Solution

Posted on June 21, 2018

Staging Mobile Storage

Staging a home has never been easier when utilizing portable storage containers.

Homes that resemble those on the covers of magazines typically tend to sell much quicker than those that look more like a real home. Appropriate storage space, convenient layouts, and practical access to everyday items are often overlooked while fashionable furniture, bold colours, and uncluttered counters steal the show.

When a homeowner wants to sell their home quickly and for top dollar, a storage container rental can help them get their home staged and sold in record time. Here’s how:

 

Easy Access to Staging Items

Imagine this: you’re in the middle of staging a home when you step outside through the patio doors to a deck overlooking Okanagan Lake. The view alone could probably sell the home. However, the deck is lacklustre and missing a nice place to relax and socialize.

A wicker conversational set would work perfectly here, but it’s back at your office on the other side of town. Now you’ve got to deal with hauling it over in summer traffic instead of finishing up the job before the homeowners return.

Now, picture this. You spot the deck and determine the patio set is perfect. Turning on your heel, you head to the driveway and step inside your portable storage container where your conversational set awaits. You pack it outside to the deck and move on to the next room. Easy, right?

 

Storage Portability is Key

If you’ve been called on to stage multiple homes throughout the selling season, you know how important time management is. Besides having the right furniture and décor for the job, you’ll also need to move it from home to home as they go from staged to sold.

Instead of packing up the items and hiring a moving truck to haul them back to the office or storage facility, simply have the container dropped off at the sold property, load your items inside, and then have it delivered to the next home awaiting the furnishings. When time is money, this little trick can save you both.

 

Additional Storage Container Perks

Besides these two main reasons, there are many other benefits to utilizing a portable container for home staging jobs. Some of these benefits include:

  • A safe and secure vessel for storing the furnishings needed for the job. These containers are weather and theft-proof so you’ll never have to worry while leaving them unattended.
  • If a homeowner asks you to change out a chair or a certain décor item, you’ll be able to do it without leaving the property.
  • If you don’t finish the job in one day, you can return the next and pick up exactly where you left off.
