Staged in 24 hours, SOLD in 3 days, 23 offers and 100K over list.... another staging success story.

Hi Tara, yes quite often the buyers will want the furniture, a mirror or artwork. I just had one person ask for a bedding set. That was a first. I do sell the rental furniture. It is another revenue stream for my company.  I also sell it to design clients if their budget is smaller than what they would want their dream room to look like.

Thank you Laura, the client was over joyed and the agent was flaberghasted.  He had only used me once before and the results were as quick but not quite as large a bonus purchase price.  The listing was $729 I believe and it sold 100K over.

Hi Ginger, I am blessed to be living in an area that never seems to be effected by outside influences. Most everyone here is an entrepreneur and they support each other. Truly a unique market.

HI Kathy, everyone was very pleased with the results. It was a total zoo that day in the parking lot.  The agents that do not use a stager are  reveiwing their marketing plans to see if maybe, just maybe, staging might work for them.

Hi Karen, Facing is something that all stores do every morning before they open their doors. Placing their products lined up to the shelves, hanging the hangers all the same way or refolding and piling their clothes neatly. All done with the view of the buyer in mind, to entice them to come take a look and create a desire to own the product. We do it every day with our work.

When a listing photographer arrives, they take photos of what is there. A kleenex box right dab in the middle of a coffee table, keys and mail left out on the counter, drapes askew, toilet seat up etc. We are specialists at the details of facing the product (the property) for the camera lens.

Just another service you can offer your clients and a way to describe it. The results always pay off as you know. Your work is outstanding.

Hi Sally, the offer day was a huge success. You would think that the agents would be lined up at my door, however, the agents slow to accepting staging as part of their marketing still think it is an eception instead of the rule.

Except it isn't as we know. I had a 3.8 million dollar listing sell in 6 hours. 12 hours of facing the property and the results speak for themselves. The top agents understand that having me as part of their marketing plan creates a brand for themselves in the eyes of the buyers. We get the results they are looking for.

Hi Barb, you are right in that it was a huge success for all involved. Our work is so satisfying when we are all part of the same team reaching for the same goals and achieving them on a consistent basis.

Hi Kathy, thank you for the feature!  Much appreciated.  The results certainly caused a stir in the office. The homes I stage will frequently have multiple offers but the number of offers on this one  was unexpected. It's just a regular street in a regualr subdivision.

HI Sharon, it sure was! 23 offers was a record in our office. 10 happens frequently, but 23 was an all time high. Thanks for stopping in to read about this extraordinary staging job.

HI Michelle, quite a few of the agents in the office have come to speak with me after this staged home sold. They want to know if I think staging would work for their listing. Hard to believe, but many agents are still sitting on the fence when it comes to staging their listings. I really don't know what else we can do as professional stagers to convince an agent to suggest staging to their listing clients. With results like these, it could be used as a tool in the marketing of their listings.

Well Maureen...thank you for the huge shout out to the agents here in Vaughan!!!  I am speaking to a seminar of new agents joining the brokerage tomorrow. This story is definitely at the top of my list. Best to get them marketing their homes in a way that buyers respond to right from the start of their career.
