What is Home Staging?
Staging homes is the art of professionally preparing your listing or house for sale. Staging highlights the home's best features and helps the buyers see themselves and their furnishings in the home. 
Staging sets the scene throughout the house to create immediate buyer interest in your property. The best way to get top dollar and sell your home quickly is to price it right and stage it great. The investment in staging should always be less than the first price reduction.

 

What is Senior Move Management?
Senior consultants normally try to access not only the entire scope of the physical move being considered but also take into account all the emotional aspects of the parties involved in the transfer decision. Usually the first item on a their agenda is listening.
 
There can be a lot of unspoken or private baggage that's hidden amidst these types of transitional related decisions. Sometimes it's not only difficult to decide what to take during the actual move, but there is frequently a lot of internal turmoil, emotional confusion and potential for arguments about how to divide up or dispose of what does and doesn't go. That's why it's extremely important to let each party involved in the relocation decision to define their personal expectations.

While many senior specialists in business today are quite capable in handling all the aspects of the discussion, planning and preparation phases, the logistics of the actual relocation to a new home or personal care facility are frequently outsourced to trained moving professionals.  Such as Senior Move Manager's.

 

Homelicous Staging and More not only moves Seniors, we move families, an Executives new to Winnipeg, looking to have a Condo or a Suite, even a house furnished.

 

The Homelicous Staging process is a 3-step process. 

The first step is the Consultation, where I will conduct a room-by-room analysis, identifying trouble spots, and make recommendations for Repairs, Refreshing,Re-Arrange and Re-editing.

The second step is completing the recommended work. The homeowner can do the work themselves, or I can coordinate and manage the work to be done.  The staging process is always fast-tracked, as the client and Realtor are anxious to have the property listed in a time frame.

The third and final step is Showcasing.  A team of stagers will transform a property with existing furniture and accessories, or can provide an inventory of furniture and accessories to transform a property into a show home, emphasizing spaciousness, flow, and architectural details and focal points.

In addition, after the sale of a property, we have been retained to help clients decorate their new home, with paint colour selections, countertops, flooring, furniture and accessories.

Homelicious also stages vacant properties. 

It's all about creating emotional appeal and positive first impressions.

Testimonials

"This letter is in regards to the recent home staging that Carolyn, of Homelicious Home Staging and More, did for one of my clients.

It was a wonderful 2 bedroom home with a sunken living room.  It had had some recent upgrades and was overall clean and well kept.  The main reason we called in the services of a professional home stager was that it was definitely a bachelor pad, and the client worked long hours so didn’t have a lot of time to try to dress the home up himself.  He had been offered a dream job in another province so it was imperative that we sell his place in the shortest amount of time.  

I have known Carolyn for a while so was confident that she was the right person for the job. I knew her enthusiasm, knowledge of space and design and her zest for a new project would mean that we would be left with a home to sell that highlighted its best features, and that she would make it easy for us.  The day she came to stage the home, she brought a tool kit with her which proved invaluable because the client had purchased some artwork to hang on the wall and didn’t have any tools in which to hang them with.  She took care of that and so many other details.  She handled every aspect, and every room with grace and respect as well which is something both myself and the client appreciated.  Overall she gave great advice, helped us take care of the actual work and bottom line she got the job done.  

By the way, the place had an offer on it within a week of being put on the market, and there were two other buyers waiting in the wings in case the first deal fell through (which it didn’t).  How is that for results?"

With kind regards,

"To whom it may concern,

I just wanted to write a letter of Thanks to Carolyn from Homelicious Home Staging. She came by and staged my place and I have to say, it was awesome. I am a busy person and knew that a home stager was only going to help me sell my place faster, which was important to me.

She was very professional, and got the job done quickly. She had some great suggestions, things I would have never thought of myself! I can say with much authority that her professional advice and help, along with the help of my agent who recommended her, were the main things that got my place sold fast for a good price.  I would absolutely use her services again!"
