Our Staging Services: How We Sell Your Home for Top Dollar

Nothing quite compares to home. The longer you nest in one place, the more comfortable you become, and soon, your space is reflective of your entire personality and lifestyle. This is a great thing when it comes to your day-to-day experience.

The only problem is if you ever decide to sell your house. A buyer won’t be at all intrigued by a home that feels so much like yours. Instead, it should feel like “their” space. That is what our staging services are all about.

Jeff & Katie have spent years working out a system that generates maximum appeal to potential buyers while making the entire process streamlined and worry-free for clients. Today, we’ll share a few of our insights and techniques with you.

Bringing in the Design Experts

Jeff & Katie discovered long ago that selling a home at the highest amount the market allows and with the least amount of stress possible is never a lone adventure. Instead, it’s a team effort. That’s why we ourselves go straight to the experts when it comes to staging.

We employ a full-time listing coordinator who handles all of the design, curates the decor and furniture, and puts everything into place. The end result is a presentation that makes buyers instantly fall in love – and our clients barely have to lift a finger. Just open the door, and our team takes care of everything on your behalf.

Setting the Foundation

Before your home can be staged effectively, it must first be clean and completely free of clutter. This gives our talented listing coordinator a blank canvas to work with, but it can take a fair amount of time and effort.

To help, we provide you with detailed checklists and guides to ensure nothing falls through the cracks. Even better, we can arrange for professional cleaners to handle it all for you. Simply set aside the items you are certain you want to keep, and our team can help you sort out the rest.

Once your house is spotless, we can decide together what, if any, upgrades you will make. Extensive renovations are rarely necessary or worthwhile. However, minor touches like a coat of fresh paint can modernize and refresh your home. The payoff for small investments like these could be substantial depending on the market and your buyer demographic.

If you decide to go ahead with strategic updates, we will help you zero in on improvements with the most potential. If you prefer to sell as-is, we will work to showcase your home in its best light through cleaning and creative staging. Either way, you are in the driver’s seat at all times.

Personalizing Your Plan

Now that your house is in pristine condition, it’s time to create a personalized strategy just for you. Oddly enough, this actually starts with de-personalizing your house by erasing all signs of family photos, souvenirs, children’s drawings, and trophies.

As much as you cherish these mementos, they can distract a buyer from their own vision of the house. By substituting personal items with high-quality but generic decor, buyers can begin to make their own plans.

Once they catch themselves mentally arranging their own furniture and belongings, they’re well on the way to placing an offer.

It’s All Part of the Package

Multiple Canadian and American studies suggest that staging could add a substantial amount to your final selling price. The only problem is that a third-party staging service can be expensive, which can negate the benefits fairly quickly.

That’s another problem solved when you work with Jeff & Katie to sell your home. Our listing coordinator handles all of our staging in-house at no additional cost to you. Any extra funds you earn as a result are yours to keep!

Our team has a 2,000 square foot staging warehouse, loaded with carefully selected furniture and decor items. Whatever the size, structure, or style of your home, we can create an aesthetic appeal to match and elevate the overall vibe.
