Who doesn’t love a great before and after photo? Most of us are inspired by the transformations we see. When it comes to home staging, those transformations can result in a faster sale. Here are four tips highlighted in Set Your Stage before and after staging photos in Calgary.
 

1. Furniture & Placement: Use enough but not too much. Consider traffic flow and key room features.
 

2. Accessories: Add life to the space. Be consistent with colour to tie rooms together. Highlight features.
 

3. Lighting: Light and bright spaces sell. Use various sources.
 

4. Photography: Professional real estate photography is a must. Angles matter. Stage before the photos are taken.
 

These before and after photos from a property we staged in Killarney, Calgary show the impact of following these tips. We turned a bare and vacant condo into an appealing space that potential buyers would be proud to call home. But first, most potential buyers would have viewed the listing online. That’s why staging before the professional real estate photography is so critical. The photos create a positive first impression that allows potential buyers to start imagining themselves living in the space before they view it in person.
 

That’s the power of professional staging. And it’s what sets listings apart.
