Elizabeth Colt of élan quoted in The
San Diego/La Jolla Post, July

"'When there are more homes on the market, there's a real
advantage in staging a home,' said Elizabeth Colt, a principal with élan,
a San Diego-based staging company that also provides event planning, closet
organizing and personal shopping services.
'Having the property be more competitive and more cutting edge over the
house for sale next door gives sellers a leg up on what they can do with
their pricing,' said Colt, who said she's seen business pick up in recent
months.
Prices for Colt's staging service start at $500 to $1,000 for a single
day of cleaning and rearranging furniture.
She might take a client shopping to buy a few items like designer
towels or fresh flowers to spruce up the house.
For larger projects, Colt said she might spend a week working on a
home.
She occasionally clears the furniture out of a house and brings in
rental furniture to create a different atmosphere. She estimates that
staging a home can add 5 to 10 percent to its price." full
