kelowna home staging: Kelowna Home Staging - The Best Looking Homes Sell First! - 01/23/08 02:25 PM
This is no surprise. But what does it really mean?
You think your house looks great. Your realtor may also give that impression. How does yours look compared to others? Is it one in the sea of many? Is it out front? Does it give you the edge? The market is changing. There are a lot of homes on the market - that means it is a highly competitive market. Property Presentation (Staging) is changing the way property is being sold.
The future of Staging is that before too long it be established criteria for selling.
Why?
Because it works.

kelowna home staging: Kelowna Home Staging Living Spaces Interior Design ...MY PRO MEME - 01/14/08 07:34 PM
The 'Meme', for public understanding is 'Active Rain's' idea of 'tag', the purpose being, getting to know others in this 65,000+ network. This my 5th, thanks to Martin Abeshaus I decided to publish my career journey.
Academic Studies - A 'visual' girl, I dreamed sugar plum fantasies of exquisite interiors. Academic studies in the sciences were fascinating - math is beautifully the only precise science - you can always count on it! However I couldn't see that I would want to work in academia.
Design Studies - For a brief fortunate period, Interior Design at Okanagan College was facilitated by a brilliant graduate of design and engineering, who crammed her … (22 comments)

kelowna home staging: Unstaged Property not selling after 6 weeks??? Staging Sells Faster and For More. Period. - 11/15/07 12:45 PM
These are the very basic real estate staging facts anywhere. Staging sells faster and for more. Period. Those sellers whose properties are staged benefit immensely.
Sellers often choose to avoid improving sale-ability in what they see as a 'bullish' market.
I am hearing from Sellers and Realtors alike here in with listings not moving on the market over 6 weeks. These are typically vacant unstaged listings that are being called about - or properties off the market awhile and re-listing.
The sellers often sound anxious and a little agitated in the phone. They are reluctant before they even find out what they stand to gain. The realtors sound hesitant … (6 comments)

kelowna home staging: Why Do I Need A Stager In Kelowna? - 09/30/07 04:23 PM
It is a hot, hot real estate market in Kelowna. Sales activity is brisk and has been for some time. There appears to be no end to the development, construction and investment in the valley.
Some mistakenly think that because sales are high the market is 'bullish' enough to avoid staging. Countering the high rate of sales, is the fact that there are also many properties on the market. Everyone wants to be in on the action while it is lucrative. Construction is high. Renovation also enters the competing foray.
Staging gives the edge in fact in any market. In a market like the … (5 comments)

kelowna home staging: Kelowna Home Staging - Choosing Paint Color - 09/30/07 04:20 PM
I am probably asked this more than anything else - "What paint color should I use for staging?"
Fortunately, people are finally realizing that more neutrals exist besides white or that archaic term, 'off white'! Was that ever really a color?
Contrary to common belief, it is very difficult to decorate with a colorless palette. Keep in mind that all colors 'go' together depending on various factors.
I cannot tell you without seeing, what color to use. First considerations are exsiting colors in the home. Flooring color and any existing features and furnishings that will remain with the house have to be taken into … (2 comments)

kelowna home staging: Home Staging Kelowna BC * Proven Profitability * Living Spaces - 06/13/07 02:09 PM
Staging for Real Estate Sale or Resale is not a new concept. The term 'Staging' is what is new & perhaps creates a little confusion. It is still the professional process it has always been, of presenting property at its best. I have seen properties sell in 1 to 3 days after staging.
The goal is to de-personalize & de-clutter, aiding the potential buyer in seeing themselves in the 'Living Spaces'.
What is new is the growing recognition that Home Real Estate Staging puts your sale at the front of the pack in any market. Whether it is a hot market or slow, staging has statistically shown higher profitability … (0 comments)

kelowna home staging: Central Okanagan * Market Temperature * Living Spaces - 06/09/07 02:30 PM
Construction booms. Reaching a feverish pitch with a labour shortage, the provincial government is making agreements with other countries (ie: Jamaica) to bring in specialized labor - electricians, plumbers,etc.
A long period of provincial economic lows & the international exchange rate, supported & encouraged international investment interest creating some development flow in the nineties. The low Canadian dollar made it very appealing to BC's immediate neighbors Washington State & Alberta residents, as well as many internationals to invest in Okanagan recreational properties.
This is where I started staging in the nineties (decorating we called it then!) properties for developers' & internationals' vacation & resort properties.
