Staging

Evolve has staged hundreds of homes at every price-point.
We know what sells.

The current Holland, MI housing market is extremely competitive! Houses are selling faster and for more money than ever. It’s a fantastic time to sell and staging by Evolve is key. Evolve will ensure that your home is looking it’s best!

Evolve is the largest staging company in West Michigan, specializing in staging vacant and occupied homes. Our team of professionals and our extensive inventory of furniture, accessories and artwork allow us to stage many properties simultaneously – a significant benefit in this fast-paced market.

Many designers and stagers use the client’s own furniture. Evolve will use your furniture; bring in items from our inventory, or a combination of both. We work within your budget so you can achieve the best return on your investment.

Our goal is to set your house apart from the competition – and get the best price possible.

“I worked with Evolve to stage a high-end vacant home. They worked hard to meet the seller’s vision for the house as well as help prospective buyers envision themselves in the space. The house sold with a great offer after just 4 days on the market! I received compliments on the staging from both buyers and other realtors. Great job Evolve! “
-Janet McNamara, Five Star Real Estate Leaders – Holland

See The Difference Staging Makes

What is NOT staging your house costing you?

How does 90% less time on the market add up?

A vacant $300,000 house with a $1500/month mortgage and $1000 in monthly expenses has a typical carrying cost of $83 a day.

If that house is listed, un-staged, and not sold, it will average 184 days on the market.

At $83/day that equals $15,272 in carrying costs.

(In addition, there would be at least 1 price reduction of $5,000 or more).

That same house, after being staged, will average only 41 days on the market.

At $83/day that equals $3,403 for a savings of $11,869 in carrying costs.

If that home were staged prior to listing, it would average only 23 days on the market.

At $83/day that equals $1,909 for a savings of $13,363 in carrying costs.

Evolve’s Staged Homes historically average under 40 days on the market.
