FAQs About Glen Street Signature
What is Glen Street Signature?
Glen Street Signature is an add-on service that can be coupled with any of our full staging packages to provide our clients with end-to-end home staging support and white glove project management. From repairs, to upgrades, to packing, to staging maintenance when your home is on the market, we’ll be there with you every step along the way.
Why do you offer this service?
Staging is hard on the homeowner. While pretty before-and-after pictures may lead you to believe stagers can make the home look amazing with the snap of our fingers (which is kinda true…) there’s actually a ton of work left on the homeowner’s shoulders between the time the staging consultation is completed and when the stager comes back for final styling.
Most homes, with the exception of new construction, need at least some level of repairs and/or upgrades to show in their best light. Even without these cosmetic changes, things like packing, deep cleaning, and maintaining a staged home create a lot of work for the seller – and very few sellers have the extra time in their days and weeks to do it all seamlessly. This is where Glen Street Signature comes in.
Our sellers are busy people. They have families, they have jobs, they have lives. With our foundation In business and customer success, we know how to help our sellers manage their staging preparation and maintenance to make it as stress-free as possible.
Exactly how does Glen Street Signature work?
If you choose to add Glen Street Signature on to your staging package, the first step will be conducting a family audit. This allows us to assess how to best support each and every family member (even the furry ones) through the moving, staging, and selling process. We’ll then create a detailed project plan, identify vendor needs, select any necessary finishes and/or fixtures, begin planning the final staging, and create your custom staging maintenance plan. We’ll meet with you virtually on a weekly basis for quick check-ins (or this can be done all through email, if you’d prefer) to ensure we keep the project on track, on time, and on budget.
How do I know if Glen Street Signature is right for me?
Glen Street Signature is designed for our super busy clients who value their time and sanity - and are committed to doing what is necessary to get top dollar for their home.

However, if you’re willing to invest in staging to maximize your ROI, Glen Street Signature can help make that happen.
How do I know it will be a worthwhile investment?

Is there anything else I need to know?
Just a few more things that are important to us:
1. We only work with homeowners who are working with licensed Massachusetts real estate agents. If you don’t have an agent yet we’d be happy to refer you to one of our amazing real estate partners!
2. Glen Street Signature is a month-to-month service, requiring a minimum of two months. Trust us – great staging can happen quickly, but it doesn’t happen overnight. Two months is about the fastest period in which we’ve seen a home go from consultation to closing.
3. We are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and take every precaution possible to protect ourselves and our clients. This includes virtual meetings, masking, and social distancing (when possible). If you have any questions about our COVID policies, please contact info@glenstreetstaging.com.
