    Our price includes all preparation, styling, transportation, insurance, packup and removal. Also included is all furniture, bedding, accessories and art. There are no hidden costs.

  • Can I work with my own furniture?

    Yes, if it is consistent with the home staging style desired. We find that maintaining a consistent look and aesthetic is more effective in increasing the appeal of the property.

  • How much preparation time do you need?

    The minimum time frame would be 2 days, however it is best to be in contact at least 2 weeks prior to going on the market if possible, allowing us adequate time for preparation and planning and viewing the property first.

  • Where do you operate?

    We focus mainly in the central city areas of Herne Bay, Ponsonby, Freemans Bay and the eastern suburbs of St Helliers, Kohimarama and Mission Bay. However, depending upon the property we are able to home stage Auckland wide.

  • Why shouldn't I stage myself?

    It's natural for a property owner to think that their particular decorating style and furnishings are appealing, but we have found that this is often not the case. Rigby & Co Home Stage have curated the styles that have been found to appeal most to potential purchasers

  • Do I need insurance?

    We insure all of our furniture, bedding, accessories and art; however, you will still need insurance for your house and property.
