Furniture staging rentals allow a potential buyer to get a sense of how a property will feel to live in. That’s why it’s so important when selling a vacant property. Walking into an empty room, most people cannot imagine how furniture will fit or how big the space actually is. Stage it and make the buyer’s job easy.
 

That’s what happened with a home I staged recently in the Hillhurst neighbourhood of Calgary. The home was vacant and my clients chose to hire Set Your Stage for a full furniture staging rentals package. They understood the benefits:
 

• Desired Lifestyle – Staging a property for a potential buyer’s lifestyle can help them choose your property over a similar property that just doesn’t “feel” as right to them.

 

• Room Function – An empty space can leave potential buyers puzzled. Don’t give them the opportunity to hesitate, wondering, “What could this space be used for?”

 

• Size Matters – Without furniture in a space, it’s hard for people to tell whether their furniture will fit. Most buyers won’t walk around with a measuring tape. Showing your listing with furniture allows them to see, “Ok, that’s a king size bed so ours will definitely fit with extra room to move around.”

By adding rented staging furniture to an empty property, you help potential buyers check off all their wish list boxes. And maybe more! It worked for my Hillhurst clients. Here’s what their realtor shared in a comment on the Set Your Stage facebook page:
 

“Smart Calgary Homes – Thanks for your great staging job! We are conditionally sold after 4 days on the market! I am sure that your staging had something to do with that. You created a bright and modern decor and we had great feedback during our open houses.”
 

Enough said. Furniture staging rentals are an upfront investment. However, as this Set Your Stage client found, it can be well worth it.
