Home Staging Consultation Forms & Checklist: A New Stager Resource

Many home stagers worry that they’ll forget some of the details they need to cover with a homeowner or real estate agent during a home staging consultation. Or they aren’t sure how to best organize the meeting, what to bring and how to best present their ideas in a way that won’t offend their clients.

After all, we’re going into someone’s home with the express purpose of changing it before they list the house for sale. That can raise some sensitive issues that need to be handled diplomatically.

I created the “Staging Diva Home Staging Consultation Checklist With Room-by-Room Client Planning Forms” to give stagers a tool to make home staging consultations easier, less stressful and more profitable.

This tool is really two products in one.

The first part guides you through how I do a home staging consultation based on the hundreds of homes I’ve staged over the last five years. I take you through:

what you should consider before the meeting
what you should bring with you
how to start the consultation
the process I use as I go through a client’s home
how to end the meeting

In the second part of this new tool, the Room-by-Room Client Planning Forms, I give you exactly that. I’ve set it up so all you have to do is put your own logo and contact information on the cover of the planning forms section and then photocopy the rest.

I’ve given you home staging consultation forms/checklists to fill out for every room in the house! There are different pages for the:

living room
dining room
kitchen
master bedroom
3 additional bedrooms
powder room
3 bathrooms
play room
home office
family room
den
basement
attic
garage
front porch
exterior
overall home
suggestions for showings

You can fill these Room-by-Room Client Planning Forms out yourself or let your client do it as you go room by room during your home staging consultation. Another way to use the forms is to just have your own copy that you refer to as you go along helping you stay organized and making sure you don’t miss anything you should be discussing in a particular room.

If you or your client fills out the forms as you go through the home, you’ll have a professional looking and complete document to leave with the homeowner at the end of your meeting. This puts an end to the time wasting and unprofitable task of typing up a report of your recommendations after the fact. Besides, anyone with a non-selling home already on the market, or anyone about to list with lots to do to get ready, doesn’t want to wait the day or two it would take to get your report. They want immediate solutions and this tool allows you to meet this need.

And no more worrying that you’ll forget some of the details as you go through a house. It’s all laid out for you step-by-step, all you have to do is fill in the blanks!

“The Staging Diva Business Training Program is worth every penny!

While there are other home staging courses out there, I’m so happy I follow the business model Debra teaches in her program. It is specific, concise, and thoroughly explained.

In addition to her courses, Debra offers SO many supplemental materials that are incredibly helpful too. The community of Staging Diva Graduates is another bonus, as we all support each other and share each other’s wins.”

“The Staging Diva Program is very well organized and explains in the most straightforward terms how to set up your business, maintain and grow it.

Debra’s step-by-step process allowed me to start a 2nd career doing something I probably should have been doing all along!”
— Rob Reinhart (CA)*Make It-Home

“Once I decided home staging was for me, I was terrified of starting my own business. Staging Diva Training gave me the confidence to do what I love, and contribute to our income after being out of the work force for 15 years.

Debra gave me the information I needed to get over my fear of failure, charge what I’m worth, and get out there and start my home staging business!”

— Wynette Williams (NJ)*Red Robyn Interiors

“The Staging Diva Program taught me many secrets about home staging consultations— especially how to charge, and have no inventory.

I took another home staging course before Debra’s and the Staging Diva Program really helped build my business. Debra forced me out of my comfort zone, she is such an inspiration! Now I know I can make a difference in many people’s lives.”

— Haana Nyamekye (MD)*Zuri Sophia Interiors

“I love that I’m pursuing a career that pays me to be creative, rather than spending my time working for someone else.

Plus, I have the freedom to be available to my family when they need me.

The Staging Diva Program filled in all the questions that I still had after completing another ‘hands on’ program. Thank you Debra, I now have the confidence to build my staging business.”
— Tracie Lacroix (BC)*Sold by Design

“This is the first time in my 57 years of life that I am pursuing something solely for myself — despite my often paralyzing fear!

— Leslie Manson (BC)*Staging Homes by Leslie

My first project sold the first day on the market for more than the asking price. This confirmed I’m in the right business.

Thank you, Debra!”
