How to get more Money for your Home…

Home Staging.

1. Take Home More Money.
Fact: Staged homes generally sell for more when compared to those left in "as is" condition.

2. Speed up that Sale.
Fact: Staged homes typically sell faster than un-staged homes. A home that doesn't show well and sits on the market longer. Homes that get stale result in thousands of lost dollars through price reductions. Put yourself in the buyer’s shoes, sellers need to put your best foot forward and stage first!

3. Get the advantage on your competition.
With the abundance of inventory in the Okanagan valley you need to every advantage to set yourself apart from the competition. The purchase decision often starts with an emotional connection between the buyer and their new home. You want to leave the buyer feeling that your home can feel like their home.

4. Your taste may be exceptional, but it’s still exactly that … Yours?
It's difficult to be objective with your personal belongings. A stager looks at your home through the eyes of a buyer - taking into account functionality, flow, selling features, colors and style to appeal to a larger audience.

5. The cost of home staging is not what you think.
Staging often results in selling your home for more thus recovering your staging costs. This means allocating a very small % of your home investment towards staging less than 1%. This could mean a huge difference between profit and loss, take a chance and stage your home.

6. One-stop shopping.
Staging services offer a turn-key solution, quality furniture, design concepts and setup, all in one.

7. Your most valuable commodity, Time.
Using a professional home stager will take the guesswork out of staging. Our stagers have the experience and local resources to meet your deadline.

8. Few buyers can visualize the potential of a space.
An empty room can seem much smaller without appropriate furniture, and buyers might not imagine how beautiful and stylish a space could be. Staging can eliminate many questions/concerns buyers may have about a home. More importantly, staging can excite a buyer about living their dream lifestyle in your home - leading to an offer (is that not what were looking for?)

9. A well cared for home is a more valuable home.
Buyers view a staged home as a well cared for property. Simple … any questions please ask.

10. Are you doing everything in your power to sell fast and for top dollar!
Why wouldn't you do everything you could to protect your investment? Is selling your home the largest transaction you will be doing this month? Using all the tools and resources available to sell your home is the best way to go. In this challenging market and there are many variables, use everything in our toolbox.
