What Is Home Staging?

After: By adding lifestyle elements to the kitchen,
the buyer can imagine living here.

What is home staging? Home staging is a key marketing tool sellers use to prepare their properties for sale. Professionally staged homes show better than unstaged homes because they are designed specifically to help buyers imagine living within each space. By creating a broad appeal using your prospective buyer’s eyes, staged homes statistically sell faster.

After: This living room is now bright, fresh and has a spark of colour. The fireplace is lit to add some coziness to the room.

The average property Set Your Stage has professionally staged has sold an average of 2.77 times faster than homes in the same areas!

Curb Appeal

April 27, 2011 (posted by Jennifer Campbell, Home Staging Calgary)

This front entrance is now welcoming.

74% of home buyers drive by before touring a home according to Canadian Staging Professionals’ Research. This is why it’s important to keep your curb appeal at it’s best whether or not you are selling your home. Curb appeal doesn’t only refer to your front yard, it includes your driveway, sidewalk, side yard and backyard.

Some simple tips to freshen your yard:

Ensure everything is repair free!

Remove all weeds and dead plants, trim all hedges and large bushes or trees.

Add some colour and greenery with potted plants.

Moonlights always are a nice touch to draw your eye to a focal point.

For more complex tasks, contact a local specialist. Don’t know who to call? We have relationships with many Calgary landscapers – contact us and we’d be happy to connect you with one who would love to help out.
