Did you know that Staging:

* is all about first impressions! * is a simple and inexpensive way to update and spruce up your home. * involves the three Rs: Rearranging, Refreshing and Reducing. * neutralizes the home and creates an illusion of space. * makes your property more marketable by creating broad appeal to the greatest number of potential buyers. * provides a huge edge over the competition. * promotes the house as move-in ready and buyer friendly. * makes for beautiful advertising photos to attract serious buyers (over 90% of buyers search the Internet before deciding on which listings to view). * reduces stress on the homeowner. * helps your house sell faster in a slow market and for more money in a hot market. Homes are designed for living, but houses are staged for selling.  Staging can mean the difference between closing and losing a sale.

 

 

Our Home Staging Services:

Consultation:  We will do an on-site evaluation, approximately 2-4 hours, and provide the homeowner with a comprehensive report which includes a room by room checklist and addresses issues such as curb appeal, re-arrangement of furniture, cleanliness, clutter, lighting placement as well as paint and wallpaper neutralizing.  Consultation fees start at $225 + HST.  Many real estate agents offer this feature to their clients as a value-added service.

Staging of Lived-In Homes:  Our staging work involves re-arranging and editing the homeowner's furniture and accessories as well as decluttering and cleaning up.  We can do as little or as much as the clients want.  The staging fees depend on the number of rooms being staged.  They can be tailormade to suit any budget and will be less than a first price reduction.  If needed, we offer a wide range of accessories and art at a nominal fee to update your decor and enhance your home's overall appeal.

Staging of Vacant Homes:  Statistics show that 82% of vacant houses would sell faster if they were furnished.  An empty room makes it hard for buyers to imagine the placement of their furniture or, at times, the intended use of the area.  Only 10% of homebuyers can visualize the potential of a home.  Vacant homes may also give the impression that the homeowner is anxious to sell, motivating the buyer to present a lower offer.  By bringing in some rental furniture (a little goes a long way), the empty shell becomes a warm and inviting space.  Our partnership with a national furniture rental company gives us competitive pricing and preferred terms which we will pass on to you.

Free Internet Advertising:  All properties staged by Image Home Staging will have access to additional marketing exposure on the Certified Staging ProfessionalsTM  website (http://www.canadianstagingprofessionals.com/).

"Joanne is very detail-oriented; she "staged" my house which is for sale and it is outstanding....every visitor has fallen in love with the house. Son travail est exceptionnel: je lui ai donné un contrat pour la mise en valeur de ma propriété à vendre et elle en a fait un "bijou". Bravo !"

I was having difficulty selling my newly-renovated home and I didn’t know why. I spoke to a friend about next steps, and her recommendation was to stage it -- and stage it with Image Home Staging as she used them for 2 house sales, both selling in 3 days for full asking price. I contacted Joanne and could not believe how wonderful, down to earth and brilliant she is -- she knows her stuff, is easy to work with, so it pays to listen to her!! Joanne gives the friendly, personal touch, is affordable and your property will be transformed from a house to a home in a dazzling way!! Go the extra mile if you want your house sold... sold... sold... like mine did… quickly and for top dollar!!!

I just wanted you to know the home looked amazing after your staging. Well…yesterday we were FLOODED with showings, and at 9pm last night…0 days on market…we received 4 offers, with many other buyers expressing HUGE interest. The listing is now conditionally SOLD!!!. Again, I am so thrilled that you were able to come in and give my clients’ home your magic touch! I will definitely be using you to help out again with other listings…and will also keep a few of your cards/brochures to give to some clients in need.
