Professional staging is an art form, and an important one at that. Staged homes sell 26% quicker and typically for more money than unstaged homes!

Most real estate agents know that clearing the clutter out of a home is the easiest, least expensive strategy a home owner can perform to help with the sale of their home. An uncluttered home makes a great first impression on other agents and prospective buyers. Use PortaBox to help create a relaxed, inviting environment.

 

Here’s what our clients are saying:

“I’ve been using PortaBox for about two years to store my furniture for my staging company. The price is 1/3 of what it cost me at other storage facilities and the best part is they deliver my storage door to door! It saves precious time, money and energy for each and every staging! I know I can count on this reputable company which gives me peace of mind! I recommend PortaBox to all my clients, it’s a company with friendly, reliable and helpful staff!”

At PortaBox, all it takes is a phone call to start the process. Simply have us position the correct number of PortaBox containers at your current home and fill them with non-essential household items to create a more attractive interior to the new buyer. Typically, your real estate agent will be happy to assist by helping you decide what items should be removed from the home prior to listing.

After the home sale is complete and you have relocated to your new dream home, simply call and we will deliver your PortaBox containers so you can settle in.

De-Cluttering Tips:

  • Smart, clean furniture arrangement will help potential buyers visualize how their furniture will look in your home
  • Clear off kitchen countertops and take down refrigerator magnets
  • Empty out most closets to maximize space by opening up small areas
  • Empty out the garage by removing all non-essential contents
  • Clean up the yard by removing all excess furniture, pots, rusted tools, and children’s toys
  • Depersonalize your home by removing family photos, certificates, and artwork

Consult your real estate agent for advice and insight on home staging. Whether you perform the decluttering yourself or use the services of a professional stager, PortaBox is your solution for a faster selling home.

Good luck selling and we look forward to helping you with your order.

I shopped around and could not beat the price. But, what really impressed me was the driver's concern and attention for my things - that was the icing on the cake. I'll recommend you to my friends.
