What if you had a secret tool that helped you sell your house quickly and for the highest profit, minus the stress
and the hassle?

Home Staging might be just what you are looking for.

The latest trend in the real estate marketing, Staging is a neat strategy that is used for showcasing property in the best light possible, to ensure a quicker and more profitable sale. While some houses feature a winning combination of location, condition and price, others might need a little bit of a helping hand in finding a new owner. That’s where Staging comes in.

Have you ever been to a sales office of a new real-estate project? You must have noticed the enticing settings of the model suites. The idea of this attractive design is to show you the property’s best features, offer the optimal interior layout, style and decor. Their aim is to make you simply fall in love with what you see.

Staging employs the same tactics. Based on unique property needs, Staging might involve organizing, de-cluttering, decorating and re-furnishing, among other techniques. Statistics show that Staged Homes spend much less time on the market, attract more showings and constantly sell for higher price.

Benefits of Staging

Over and over, Staging has been proven to provide the following benefits:

  • Tackles obstacles such as price, location or condition of the property
  • Allows you to get the best value out of your home
  • Helps you sell more quickly, for a better price
  • Less time dealing with buyers means more time for moving and less stress
  • Beautiful photos lead to more showings and more potential buyers
  • Your home looks more appealing and stands out from the competition
  • Well furnished rooms appear bigger
  • Neat and organized home increases desire to buy, as it is "move-in ready"
  • Less time on the market equals savings in mortgage and maintenance fees

Our Services

Homeowners

We all know that first impressions are crucial. Just as you wouldn’t think of appearing in worn-out, wrinkled and stained clothes to an important job interview, you also wouldn’t want to spoil that all-important first impression of your home in the eyes of a potential buyer. Staging to your home showing is the same as a crisp, perfectly tailored business suit to a high-profile job interview.

Sometimes we get so attached to our home, having spent many years in it, we just don’t see its obvious flaws which might prove crucial when it comes to a sale. Staging allows you to have a fresh perspective on your home.

While taking care of cleaning, organizing, and decorating, Staging involves much more than that. Contrary to what you might think, Staging is used to de-personalize your home rather than cater to a specific taste or style. Therefore, the general recommendation is to remove personal items/photos/ memorabilia, etc.

  • Clear up space. Get rid of or store away all the bulky pieces of furniture that block free movement in the rooms. Viewers should be able to easily visualize smooth and free flow of movement throughout the house spaces.
  • De-clutter and clean. A simple tip that makes all the difference. It’s a no-brainer that a tidy, organized and a sparkling- clean home automatically becomes much more appealing to buyers.
  • Fix problems that need to be fixed. Take care of the little things like leaking taps and screeching doors. When there are no problems to fix, it’s easier for the buyer to make up her mind on the purchase.
  • Air it out and add light. Well-lit, aired rooms are associated with happiness and well-being. Also, bright lightening makes rooms appear bigger and more open. If your rooms don’t have enough sunshine, consider adding more lighting. (Cleaning the windows makes a lot of difference too!)
  • Pay a special attention to the kitchen and the bathroom. These are the key areas in your house that could make or break the deal. The kitchen should be spotless, bright and well-ventilated. Make sure the counters are free of unnecessary objects and clutter. You might want to accessorize with cook books, bowls of fruit and dress it up with fresh flowers.
  • The bathroom is of crucial importance as well. The space should be meticulously cleaned, free of odor or mold. The taps, shower-heads and all metal fixtures should be polished to shine. Do not forget to clear all knick-knacks, including inside the cabinets.
