resa top ten stager: We stage to attract your ideal buyers
- 04/02/18 06:51 AM
Staging in Vaughan and King area and into Toronto we can be asked to market anything from a luxury home to a horse farm to a log home.
We must come up with looks that will attract your ideal buyers online and convince them to visit your listing to see the house in person.
Buyers generally have a list of "must have" items but we find most people still buy on emotion. They will often comment they knew the house for them as soon as they entered the property.
Here are a couple examples of the looks we can create to attract your ideal … (7 comments)

resa top ten stager: All I did was... give the buyer a way to connect with a property
- 02/05/18 07:39 AM
Staging in Vaughan and the Toronto GTA we are asked quite frequently if it is really worth it to stage a vacant home.
Home owners and agents alike ask why isn't it better to show a home vacant, doesn't it show buyers how much room there is in a home.
We know from experience that buyers have a hard time envisioning the following...will my furniture fit in here or how would I set up my furniture in this room.
In this home the first thing we asked the home owner to do was remove the office blinds in every room. Then we asked that … (15 comments)

resa top ten stager: Staging dining tables with table settings...does it attract buyers?
- 08/08/17 06:35 AM
Staging in Vaughan and the Toronto GTA area we don't typically stage dining tables with complete table settings as most people never use their dining room except at holiday time.
We will stage with a simple table decor like these table settings to create a warm and inviting ambiance in a room...
What do you find is the norm in your area?
Do you set the table with place mats, dishes, glasses, silverware, napkins etc.?
Or do you find a simple, warm and inviting vignette sets the stage to attract your ideal buyers online?

resa top ten stager: What do you do with the "old piano" when you are staging a house?
- 07/10/17 09:11 AM
Staging in Vaughan and the Toronto GTA we come across our fair share of homes that have an old piano where the sellers don't know what to do with it.
Either the piano hasn't been played in years and is there for sentimental reasons only or it is played but it really could use a style update to fit in to the design look of today.
Here is a super idea we suggest to the sellers if they are not donating it or selling it before the house goes on the market. We prefer to show space in a room to potential buyers … (5 comments)

Staging in Vaughan and the Toronto GTA we are asked by agents how to introduce a staging consult to their clients selling a vacant property.
The property may be a brand new vacant condo or single dwelling or it may be a home a few years old.
In each instance we suggest the agent explain the motivation to stage a property to attract their ideal buyers online and get top dollar for the property.
The number one reason would be that over 90% of people cannot imagine what a place would look like with furniture in it.

Staging in the Toronto and Vaughan area we stage in a modern or modern traditional way to attract our ideal buyers.
When we stage in the King City and Alliston area it changes as it is more country with city/rural influences.
When we arrived at this home the elderly owners had moved out the children showed us the furniture that was left at the house. We found this old desk out in the shed. It was in pieces so the daughter offered to put it back together again as it had been her desk.
Investment, minimal.

Staging in Vaughan and Toronto we come across many properties that have the rose pink porcelain fixtures still. Buyers definitely let sellers know they are not interested in these properties by submitting low ball offers or even worse.... no offers at all.
All we did in the powder room of this property is replace the light fixture, vanity, sink and toilet for $750. We also painted the soap and glass holder white to match the perfectly good marble wall. The homeowner thought the marble wall made the bathroom looked old however, we reassured them that it was still a very current … (11 comments)

Home staging in Milton is definitely worth the effort. Milton is not known for multiple offers on properties but with our staging suggestions Sabina Pirri from Remax Premier accomplished just that...and in 6 days!

There was one room in the house that was a concern though. In the third bedroom the home owners had removed the closet doors and built a book case … (7 comments)

Our job as professional stagers is to show how someone would live in a smaller footprint home and still have room for a great lifestyle.

resa top ten stager: Why working with the right agent & stager makes all the difference
- 04/05/14 11:07 PM
Home staging in Vaughan we stage over 500 homes every year. It is a very busy market.
For that reason it is in the interest of a home owner to be represented by an agent that knows when to call in the right home stager to prepare a property for listing photos.
We recently staged a home that required a a change in paint colour (you will see why in a minute), and some serious space planning done.
In this example the change in the home is dramatic. It is now bright, spacious and "move in ready".
