Description of Services

Professional Services: Upon the terms described herein, Spruced Interiors NW agrees to Stage the Property at the address provided in attached email for a period of 60 days. Spruced Interiors NW will choose staging inventory at their sole discretion based upon property characteristics and available inventory.

Pre-Stage Requirements

Client agrees that all contractor work will be completed prior to the agreed upon staging date. Client also agrees that the property will be cleaned prior to the agreed upon staging date. Please make sure power to the home is connected and that all personal property of the homeowners have been removed from the rooms being staged. Our crew is not responsible for moving any furniture left behind by homeowners.

Staging Expectations

Client agrees that no one is to be in the home during staging, to include sellers as well as agents, contractors and cleaners. Our team works quickly and efficiently, obstacles and distractions slow us down and prevent us from doing our job. If we arrive at the property to stage on the agreed upon date and find that people are at the home and if determined that a rescheduled date is needed, a trip charge of $250 will need to be paid prior to a new date being scheduled. 

Staging Edits

Any special requests must be made and agreed upon prior to the initial stage. Requests made after the initial stage will result in a $250 trip charge in addition to any additional inventory that may be needed. All staging inventory should only be moved and handled by the staff of Spruced Interiors NW. Please do not move or rearrange our items or allow your seller to do so.

Payment

A deposit may be required to schedule the stage and reserve your date. Fees quoted provide staging based on Spruced Interiors NW recommendations and inventory available. Payment is due upon completion of the initial stage. An invoice will be sent out within 1-2 business days, invoices may be paid by credit/debit card, bank draft or to avoid online service fee you may mail a check to the address listed on the invoice. Late fees are incurred after 10 days in the amount of 1.5%. Staging needed beyond the original 60 days will be extended at 50% of the original charge.

Notice of Property Sale

Client will provide notice of pending sale to Spruced Interiors NW as soon as possible. It is expected that Spruced Interiors NW will have a two-week notice period to schedule removal of staging.

Client Consent

Client hereby grants to Spruced Interiors NW and its independent contractors, permission to enter upon and use the Property for the purpose of providing Home Staging Services listed above, beginning on the date this agreement is acknowledged and continuing until destaging is completed. 

Client agrees to protect to the best of their ability any and all valuables in or about the Property. In the event of damage or theft to staging inventory on the premises, client agrees to pay Spruced Interiors NW replacement cost of all items.

Release and Waiver

Client assumes all responsibility for personal property and for any markings or holes from artwork and/or furnishings incurred during installation, display, and/or removal throughout the Staging process.

Photography and Publicity Release

Client agrees to allow Spruced Interiors NW to photograph staged areas of the property before and after the work is completed and to use all such photographs for reference and marketing purposes.
