What is staging? Staging is the art and science of making a home more appealing to a potential buyer. You have 30 seconds to capture the attention of the buyer on the internet. So first impressions count! Once the client is inside your home, you have 2-3 minutes to create a “buy me” experience.

What does a stager do? Professional Staging creates the WOW factor to help buyers "fall in love“ with your home.

When I walk through a space for a Staging DIY consultation, my goal is to help you! I can make affordable recommendations on wall colour, lighting, hard and soft material finishes that are on trend. In showing you where to spend your money and time wisely, your home can be updated using what you already have. Your home can look larger just by using the power of placement with your art and furniture. This visually creates the illusion of extra square footage without even renovating. Stagers can offer extra services such as rental furnishings for areas of the home that are outdated or recommend tradespeople to get your home in saleable condition. With professional guidance, you can confidently stage your home for a successful sale.

Why Stage? A staged home is seen as more appealing than an un-staged home. Staging on average creates fewer days on the market. Statistics from RESA (Real Estate Staging Association) backs up this statement. Example: Un-staged homes stayed on the market 277 days. Then when these homes were professionally staged, they sold on average in 63 days! That is an astounding 78% less time on the market! Don’t take my word for it… your Real Estate Agent knows the power of staging! Agents testify that staging helps sell a home for the best price possible in less time. Condo Developers and Home Building Companies know the SECRET WEAPON of Staging to Sell! Many developers stage a display suite or spec home knowing that the potential for MORE SALES will exponentialize! With the help of staging, your home can show better than the competition in your area. It

will look better in print and online. This brings in more buyers

wanting to view your home. This can lead to multiple offers. Your buyer will get a better report on home inspections because you prepared for it. For your buyer’s mortgage, the lenders are more likely to appraise the home at full value, giving your buyer more money to purchase the home. You can ward off buyers excuses by hiring a stager prior to putting your home on the market. This allows you to be pro-active by investing in a staging consultation. Save yourself time and money by being prepared ahead of time compared to implementing a 5% price reduction later for a “quicker sale”.

What do you think…Is the myth that staging is unaffordable compared to the first price reduction?

Maximize your homes potential with Staging… It’s more affordable than you might think!
