WHY YOU SHOULD STAGE YOUR HOME WITH SOMETHING UNIQUE:
To sell anything at the highest price takes an investment in marketing - Staging is a crucial step in marketing your property to sell for top dollar. If you are concerned about the cost, consider
that staging is a lot less expensive than the first time you reduce your list price.
The truth is that most staging clients come out ahead financially because they sell their homes faster and can ask a higher price. When surveyed, 80% of buyers were willing to pay more for a staged property.
Selling quicker benefits you in several ways: you won't have to worry about potentially losing out on a new home you love because yours hasn't sold, and you won't have the financial burden of carrying 2 houses if you buy before you've sold. Generally, staging services are less expensive than a month's mortgage and utilities.
Buyers buy with emotion. Home staging helps them make an emotional connection with a house. As a professional stager, I pay attention to the small details that help set the right mood in the room.
We get so used to all our stuff that we often don't see it anymore. I come in with fresh eyes and can suggest what needs to be de-cluttered or arranged differently. Believe me, it can transform a room! I usually use all the client's own furniture and accessories but I will add in art and accessories as needed.
It is important to understand your target market. Several homes that I have worked on were in family neighbourhoods and had 3-4 bedrooms. I staged at least one bedroom as a child's room to appeal to that segment of the market.
Curb appeal matters. So does making a good first impression as the potential buyer walks inside. They make a decision within seconds of entering. Cleanliness, smell and light all make a difference to the first impression.
I can simplify the procedure and hassle of getting your home ready to sell. I have resources and ideas that make it easier for you and speed up the process. I am committed to helping you market your house and help you move on to your new home.
I understand that the whole idea of staging your home is new to most people and can be overwhelming. Having a stranger give opinions on getting your house ready to sell can be stressful. I get that. This can be even more true if you have sold houses in the past without needing staging. I do my very best to offer friendly, helpful and convenient service.
The following are the basic steps in the staging process:
Consultation with Karen & time she spends working on the property: $75/hr*
Rental of furniture or accessories: Variable rates depending on the item, billed on a monthly basis.
Work done by other tradespeople is at an individually negotiated rate. Tradespeople are paid directly by the client.
*Note that some realtors will pay the initial staging consultation fees
