Real Estate Staging – Home and condo staging for sale

Over time we’ve been extremely successful selling real estate in Vancouver. Often we have other realtors ask us how we do it. I always say it’s being extremely organized, long hours, good marketing and presenting our properties properly. I have to say, one of the most important elements when selling houses and condos is to work with the owners to present their home in the best light possible. This includes repairing any damage, cleaning, landscaping and working with a professional home stager.

Using a real estate staging company makes our homes for sale look good in pictures and video. When buyers enter the home during a showing, right away they feel comfortable and picture themselves living there. A staging company will help plan the furniture in a room, art on the walls and match the colors. Often they can work with some of the existing furniture and add pieces from their inventory to improve the look of the space. Basically, a home stager will make a home stand out from the rest to get a home sold while maximizing the selling price.

For sellers who are deciding to stage or not to stage, just do it. As Vancouver Realtors we have an opportunity to market many homes, some prepared and some not. Properties that have been de-cluttered, cleaned and staged sell much faster and for more money. I’m talking about apartments and homes where there are no other negative determining factors. If you have an overpriced dilapidated house or a leaky condo, staging isn’t going to make miracles happen. If you have a nice home your selling and want buyers to add it to their shortlist – I couldn’t stress how important staging your home is before placing it on the market.

If you have questions about staging and interior decorating, feel free to contact us. We’re always happy to speak with clients about preparing their home for sale and introduce them to the staging companies we use on a regular basis. Most companies offer free consultations at your home.
