The Staging Process and How We Can Work Together

"Immaculate" and "shows well" are words that Realtors use to describe staging. 

But for today's sophisticated and time-challenged buyer - that is not enough.

You will have to spend money to stage your home but that is much less than the first price reduction and becoming “stale” listed on MLS.

Yes - Staging involves the following:

• Staging is cleaning and repairing.

• Staging means refreshing, reducing and rearranging.

• Staging is no longer selling your “home” but the home is now a “listing” a commodity for sale like jeans or a new car.

• Staging is storing personal items and family photos.

But STAGING is much more than that:

• Staging is property styling... before and after

• Staging is showing the space... not the stuff

• Staging usually has a limited budget

• Staging works on tight deadlines

• Staging is for the future buyer

• Staging is creating dreams --- lifestyle selling

At Staging For Top Dollar, our recommendations help you keep the most equity in the house and have the highest emotional impact on the buyer. 

Here's are some of the various different ways we can work together:

Written Proposal.  With a written proposal, we give you a free written quote, precise to the hours needed, number of assistants, rental of furniture and accessories as well as de-staging the property.

You may choose to use “sweat equity" and do it yourself or we can mange the whole process.  We have a team of qualified trades people who will complete the work in a timely manner.  We recommend the tradesperson who will quote the job and you will pay the tradesperson directly.

Time is money so the sooner the property is prepared for staging, the sooner it can be videoed and advertised for sale.

 

Staging For Top Dollar is a certified CSP™ home staging business.  We adhere to the code of ethics outlined by Canadian Staging Professionals™.

"My husband said he did not want to sell the house after the staging.  It looks spacious and really attractive, with a tasteful design and contemporary color... Neighbours and persons who came to the Open House were really impressed.  We got a decent offer in the second day after the Open House.

Great thanks to Marilynn and her staging team!"

Sophia

"Marilynn and her team STAGED the outside and the inside of my home.  It made a huge difference. 

I really like coming home to a 'dressed' house.  Will hire them for STAGING for LIVING for my new home.  My realtors were impressed!

Thank you again..."

"This 7th floor Yale Town condo was competing with others in the same building with views of mountains and ocean. Pricing the condo competitively and STAGING it sold it one weekend at the asking price!  Thanks, Marilynn, Staging works! I will tell all my listings about the staging success."

"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."
