To many buyers kitchens are one of the most important rooms of the home.  The kitchen is the hub of the home; it is seen as a room for entertaining, food preparation and socializing.  Canadians spend a large part of their day in the kitchen and for that reason a kitchen can make or break the sale of any house.  As many real estate agents will concur, when a kitchen has cutting edge equipment and a luxurious feel it beckons to buyer to “buy me”.  The goal is to make sure your kitchen is in good working order, clean and up … (5 comments)

home staging: Toronto Homes: A Tour Of The Architectural Styles of Lawrence Park - 01/02/13 12:49 AM
Part of understanding a neighbourhood is knowing what style of homes you should expect to find.  Understanding architecture is an excellent start for helping a purchasing client find what style of home speaks to them.  A second reason for knowing architecture is it will help listing realtors and home owners determine value and a listing price based on the popularity of a style of home, and third on the flip side what a buying client may be willing to pay for a particular style.  Lastly it is also helpful to know approximately the particular periods a style of home became popular, this will help consumers and realtors determine the age of a home … (0 comments)

home staging: The Urban Myths and Misconceptions of Homestaging. - 11/15/12 05:18 AM

home staging: HOME STAGING DOESN’T WORK…AND NEITHER DOES MLS.CA - 04/11/12 07:28 AM
It has been a long time since I have come across a real estate agent today who says they don’t think home staging works… but believe it or not on Friday I did.  Forget that he and his clients booked an appointment with me in Lawrence Park because his buying clients were interested in purchasing the majority of my rental furniture and were eyeing the décor accessories and hanging pictures.  But no, my staging service "did nothing to enhance the sale of the home".. of course not!
 
As someone who once was a real estate agent, I cannot tell you how many … (3 comments)
