Dear Home Owner / Builder,

Are you tired of taking another price reduction on your property and seeing your profits disappear? 
Is the slumping housing market taking its toll on your property?  

Then it's time you discovered the Secret Weapon of STAGING! 

These are some of the hot properties we recently staged and sold for homeowners, as well as builders: 
 

4200 Young Road

Condo sold in 2 hours!

This Port Coquitlam condo sold in 2 hours at the highest price in the the building where there were plenty of other For Sale signs. “I was skeptical at first, but I saw the change in my fiance's condo and how fast it sold, so  I decided to try it myself.  I was totally pleased with the staging in my own condo and at how quickly it sold!  Thanks!"    - Ralph

Staging 2 Show Homes leads to 13 units sold in 3 months! www.RetrieverRidge.com

"Marilynn staged an excellent job. The investment paid off!  The Master Bedroom showed the wise use of space. The spa room engaged conversation with the buyers--- and kept them interested in the duplex. It made them curious to see the rest of the property. Instead of staying 10 minutes, they took 30 minutes to check out all aspects of the property. They fell in love with the property. Pricing the properties competitively, staging and superior finishing sold the last 13 properties in 3 months." Walter Browne Homelife Glenayre Realty Abbotsford, BC

Did you know...

  Professional staging is your marketing edge to sell your home in this buyer's market.  Staging speeds up sales in a sluggish market and can bump up prices 2% - 10% in a moderate market (Source: Wall Street Journal)

  According to the 2008 Real Estate Staging Association (RESA):

What is Staging all about?

Have you ever visited a new home development, walked through one of their "SHOW HOMES" and said "Yes - I can live here!"   That's exactly what I'm talking about!

The "WOW" feeling is created by staging - the act of preparing a private residence or vacant property prior to going up for sale in the real estate marketplace.  

Staging places the home in its best showcase condition by playing up its key features and downplaying the home's flaws.  This is done through cleaning/repairing, de-cluttering and organizing, the use of neutral colors, re-arranging of furniture/accessorizing, minimizing and depersonalizing - both the interior and exterior of the property. 

It's almost difficult to believe... but it's the TRUTH:

How You Live in Your Home and
How You Sell It Are Two Different Things

First impressions count.

You only get 1 chance to "WOW" buyers.  They aren't just buying a home - they are buying into the lifestyle that your home presents.

Our team here at Staging For Top Dollar can show you how to...

Unleash the Secret Weapon of Staging
That Can Put More Money BACK in Your Pocket
When You Sell Your Property!

Here's the top 5 reasons why you should stage your property - before you list it:

  Staging increases home equity and can get you more money for your property.  That means less stress for everyone. 

This recent Vancouver Sun August 2009 article explains why staging helps to sell homes more quickly and profitably...

  Staging attracts a broader range of buyers as Staged Homes are more appealing and are recognized as the BEST properties to see.  Home Appraisers as view that as well and therefore, appraise it higher in value than a non-staged home.

  Staging is a great listing tool for beautiful photos and virtual tours.  Beautiful Photos attract more buyers to showings; this means more offers and increasing the opportunity to sell the listing on the first round of marketing... considering that 80% of homes are looked at on the internet before people even bother looking at the house live with the realtor.

  There's a great saying - "CLUTTER EATS UP EQUITY... AND ENERGY."   Once staging takes place, the hard work will be mostly done upfront, enabling you to show the house without much effort, but more importantly, you will live in a wonderful, stress-free environment after staging is done.

  Your home will sell in half the time than a non-staged home!  You'll beat out your competition - hands down!  Read more about this cover story in the Canadian Business Magazine about "Winning the Real Estate War"...

Great thanks to Marilynn and her staging team!"

Thank you again..."

"As an executor in an estate sale, she showed me where to begin. She recommended replacement of flooring in entry hall, laundry and a basement bedroom. Finishing touches and placement of accessories in various upstairs locations. She provided a very good service! It made a great difference. Hard to improve on.

This home sold in one day."
