Why offer staging for your clients?
Still a relatively new industry, Home Staging is quickly gaining attention and
respect as an important, if not crucial element of the real estate transaction.
Home staging is the process of preparing a home for sale so that it appeals to a broad range of buyers. More
than just packing away clutter and personal items, staging is all about maximizing the space in a home,
highlighting the home's best features and using lifestyle selling techniques to target the buyer most likely to
purchase the home. The ultimate goal is maximizing the home's potential thereby maximizing the equity in it.

Sell Faster.
In any real estate market, staged homes sell faster or sell for more money – or both!
This alone should be reason enough to enlist the help of a Certified Staging Professional™.
But there’s more good news…offering a complimentary staging consultation as a gift
to your
clients also provides you with a competitive edge. | |
Increase appraised value
A staged property has greater curb appeal, is clean, uncluttered, depersonalized and tastefully decorated, giving the property
the appearance of being well-maintained and cared for. Even Appraisers will see a home in a more positive
light and are more likely to appraise the home higher than a similar non-staged home.

How it works for you
The staging process begins with an initial consultation with the homeowner. We’ll provide a written,
comprehensive evaluation of the home inside and out. This includes a detailed, room by room action plan that
will have the homeowner well on their way to appealing to a broader range of buyers. This two-hour consultation
starts at just $175 + GST (depending on the size of home) and is worth every penny! As part of
your Real Estate Team, we are trained and qualified to
professionally evaluate the condition of a home without offending or upsetting your clients! The homeowners are
then left with a staging proposal for us to return to showcase the home and give it that showhome flair!
