Investment for Staging

There are varied costs to staging a home and the first initial consultation of $75.00 + gst will help to determine what the needs of the property are. Many times there are items that can be dealt with easily with a little elbow grease.We will spend that hour working through the plans you already have in progress as well as what I believe is needed to complete the STAGED look. If you as a seller can contribute any skills we are open to having your participation to keep costs down.

However, if you are unable to assist for any reason, we are fully equipped with professional painters, house cleaners, landscapers, window washers, junk removal, men with muscle and storage options. I have contracted many sevices that may be needed to ensure that you are able to get staged quickly and cost effectivly. We respect budget and timeline and use creative options to get the job done! Staging can range anywhere between $2,000.00- $6,000.00, depending on if you have furniture or prop rentals, de-cluttering, purchases, and of course the size of your property, location and access play a part.

At our first consultation we will determine the entire cost right there for you so you can make a quick decision and get STAGED within your budget. View our website at www.stageandsell.ca or www.edmontonhomestaging.ca for basics on pricing.

Benefits to Staging

We have Home Staged nearly 500 Edmonton area homes in the last 6 years and with Jill's former career as a Realtor in the Edmonton Real Estate Board, she has been in thousands of styles of homes and seen which ones sell faster and why. Jills' staging team creates a series of great first impressions in every room so that a buyer falls in love with your property instead of your competition's. The goal is to create that "wow factor" and "lifestyle selling element" that makes a buyer desire to live there. We have seen many sellers over the years make the mistake of simply de-cluttering their home and thinking that is was now "Staged".

Unfortunatly they missed the mark and lost dollars off their bottom line because they failed to do the last step of preparing their home...the staging. Accessories and positioning of furniture and items, feature walls, correct color choices and overall presentation are all the icing on the cake and that is what brings the best sale price possible. Why give your precious equity away to another person? Maximize it for your own pocket and take it to the next house! see www.stageandsell.ca or www.edmontonhomestaging.ca for details

"Hi JIll, I had to send you a message and I am sure that you will love it. I took a young couple to look for their first home, we entered 9610-153 St. and as we entered the home I got the feeling of dejavu, this home felt just like you had prepared it. After we negotiated the purchase price I asked the Realtor if you had been there and she almost lost it when I told her that I also use your wonderful services. You did a marvellous job here as you also did for me. It was your touch that made that young couple see the potential and buy this home. These listings have been blessed wtih the touch of simply irresistible interiors." Regards, J. Klufas Remax Excellence, Edmonton Alberta

"We are pleased with the results of your work and your integrity." A.James Remax Devon,Alberta

"The condo was the highest price in Riverbend at that time. The Staging made it look like a showhome. As a result the comments from buyers and Realtors that went through the home were very positive. A multiple offer came in and the condo sold for full list price." R. Slemko Realty Executives Challenge., Edmonton, Alberta

" We expected some good advice about de-cluttering, furniture placement, colors etc...from someone who is an expert. Honestly I thought it was a lot of money at first, but we got every penny back! After all our preparation for sale work, I wondered what more a Home Stager could accomplish. Our house looked clean, tidy and spacious. When I came home after the Home Staging, I was in awe. What I thought looked really good, Jill made it look incredible!" M. Walker. Spruce Grove, Alberta

"We were expecting to have a more" flow" efficient home, something that would catch buyers eyes. And that is what we got plus more. I was extremely satisfied with the result. I would recommend this service to anyone that needs an extra hand in selling. Jill has fabulous taste and a good eye for detail." J & K Winfield, Morinville, Alberta

"Hi Jill, I was absolutely thrilled with the ease and convenience of having my property home staged. Knowing that the stage was set- I did not have to worry about it not showing properly. Everyone who came in felt right at home in the surroundings- in fact more people than not asked if the furniture was included. This service is an absolute must- especially in vacant properties. After all you are not just selling 4 walls- but the possibilities that those 4 walls can give you!" J. Kennedy, Remax St. Albert, Alberta

"Dear Jill and simply irresistible interiors;

We are writing this letter to thank you for the wonderful job your team did at my father's property ( 9225 153 St) in Edmonton. In the begining we didn't know very much about Home Staging and questioned the influence it would have on the sale of the home. We appreciated you taking the time to show us the current projects you were working on, as well as bringing us your "before photos" so we could see real life examples of the difference staging makes.

After seeing that project, we realized that Home Staging would definetly improve the appearance of my fathers' home and therefore improve our chances of selling. As you know the house was 53 years old and looked very dated. The wallpaper removal and replacement with fresh, modern paint colors, as well as the updates to the flooring made a big difference. The furniture rentals and accessories were also a beautiful finishing touch- you truly made it look like a magazine cover. The whole extended family came over to see it and were stunned at the transformation. Even my Dad, who just moved out, wanted to move back in! He was caught a number of times napping on that gorgeous bed you made!

The end result was that out asking price went from $204,900 to $255,00 and we sold in 3 days for $253,00. We invested approx $8,000 in this job and I feel that it was worth every penny. Selling the house so quickly and for such a good price made the whole process a breeze for Dad and I have no doubt that the staging greatly assisted in this regard.

We appreciated your teams' effort and professionalism, commitment to completing on time and all the little touches that you added that made this such a positive experience.

We would highly recommend your services to all homesellers. Thank you, R. and D.Rurka, Llyodminster, Alberta
