Home Staging is "curb appeal" for the whole home.

With minimal investment, we can easily increase the selling price of your home by thousands of dollars! What would you do with an additional $10,000, $20,000, $30,000 or more!

A proven real estate strategy used by successful home sellers and realtors across North America, home staging is the art of preparing and packaging a home for sale. 

Once a home is listed for sale, it becomes more than just a home; it becomes a product on the market.  And just like any other consumer product, there is a lot of competition, ranging from new homes with carefully designed models to the multitude of resale properties in a similar price range. 

Through professional home staging, sellers can gain a competitive edge in the marketplace.  Combining expert merchandising with a thorough understanding of both current design trends and the psychology of the home purchasing process, home stagers create an inviting space with broad appeal to a wide range of buyers. 

Benefits of Staging

Staged homes show better than competing homes for sale.

Research shows that staged homes often sell for considerable more money and in substantially less time than non-staged homes.

Photos of staged homes look better in print and Internet advertising.

Staged homes are recognized as properties ready to sell and are more likely to be shown.

TV shows like "Sell this House," "Designed to Sell," and "Buy Me!" increase awareness and demand for home staging services. With more and more staged homes on the market, the ones that aren't staged look even worse by comparison.

People can't look past ugly decor and empty rooms and see "potential." That's why home builders use decorated models. Savvy homeowners realize the value of proper decor and hire home stagers to increase the value of their property.

HOW DO WE START?

The home staging process begins with a 2-3 hour consultation. 

This initial consultation is a working meeting where you will see instant results.  We will begin with a walkthrough of your home inside and out to assess and accentuate your homes best features and work on potential problem areas.  Furniture and accessories can be re-arranged on the spot and color palettes discussed. 

After this meeting you will have a clear plan about how to fabulously show off your home to attract the most buyers.  You can decide if you want to do it yourself, let us do it for you- or a combination of both. 

One Savvy Move can help you at any stage of the selling process.  We can meet with you before you list your home so that when it goes on the market it is evaluated and priced at maximum value and is ready for showing.

If your home is already listed, our changes could warrant a re-evaluation of the list price. Your home will have a new appeal and stand out from other homes listed in your area.  This will help it show better and sell faster, giving you an advantage over the competition.

If your home has been on the market a while, please call us- our interior design skills will help you sell without having to reduce the price.  It is important to remember that home staging is sure to cost less than any reduction in the list price would have cost you.

One Savvy Move can fill a vacant house with furniture and accessories giving it color, warmth and life.  We turn cold, empty houses into comfortable homes that buyers can picture themselves living in.
