Home Staging

Homes that have been professionally staged sell 50 % faster and on average for 6-10% more money. For a typical home in the GTA that can be the difference of $10,000 to $50,000 more money for the homeowner.

What is Staging?
The way we decorate for ourselves is different from the way we should decorate for buyers. That’s why Home Staging is a not a reflection of the seller’s personal style or taste. Rather, Home Staging is a proven and highly calculated approach to presenting a memorable home. Home staging is marketing, and it works!

We can help you sell your home quickly, for more money and reduce your stress.

Many people feel they can stage their own home but it takes special attention to the small details and a well-trained eye. The end result is to get the home sold at higher than asking price in the first few weeks of being placed on the market. We use both Feng Shui and Home Staging techniques to prepare your home for a quick sale.

Buyers come with many different perspectives and goals, but they have a few things in common too.

  • Buyers are influenced by their impressions and feelings. Feng Shui combined with Home Staging ensures that your home makes a wonderful first and lasting impression.
  • Buyers form an impression of your home in the first 20 seconds they see it. Often they won’t even go through the home if they see something they don’t like.
  • People need to be able to imagine themselves in the home in order to want to buy it. Home Staging neutralizes the house so buyers can picture their furniture in your home.
  • The longer a home sits on the market, the better chance it will be perceived as “flawed.” Agents often lose interest in a home that has been on the market too long.
  • Buyers search for ways to justify a lower offer. Home Staging helps the seller prioritize the tasks that will make the most impact on potential buyers.

The investment in Staging is often much less than the first price reduction if your home does not sell quickly. Before you list your home or lower your selling price, call us for a Home Staging consultation.
