When it comes to selling your home, there are so many decisions to be made and things to consider. You can be bogged down with all the stresses that are involved. In the middle of it all is the clear questions of whether you will be able to sell your home to a prospective buyer.
Whether you are selling your condo in Toronto or selling your house in Caledon, there is one part of the process that is sometimes overlooked but can be crucial. Home staging. Whether home staging in Toronto or home staging in Caledon, it all can become something that turns your home in Toronto, Caledon, or wherever into a sold home.
People ask themselves: But does home staging work? There are many reasons why it absolutely does work. And not just for new homes. Smart home sellers find that the same basics that apply to new home selling can and do apply to the resale market. Real estate agents start with certain criteria, a list of “must haves” for the property, but after those have been met, much of the decision is based on emotional reasons. The main goal in staging homes is to prep a home so that when potential buyers come in, they have that feeling that they stepped into their home. They want them to walk into a room and feel a connection, to feel that “this is it” feeling.
You might be surprised what small things can get in the way of creating that emotional connection to a home. Doors that stick, overcrowded rooms, or dripping taps are just a few minor inconveniences that may build up in their mind and leave a sour taste in their mouth. It is subtle, and that is what home staging can help eliminate. When potential home buyers are seeing maybe dozens of homes over the span of days, those minor problems can force them to get emotionally disengaged from this home and already thinking about the next home they are going to see.

Are you in the process of selling your home? Are you hoping to get as much money as possible for your property? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, there is one word that should come to mind: staging.
While some people don’t understand the advantages of staging, others are aware of the benefits due to information they have picked up from their realtor and/or a past experience.
Often, there is one major hang-up: the cost of hiring a professional home staging company.
While you may have some initial concern regarding the cost of home staging, you should never overlook the potential return on investment. In other words, you are going to put out a little bit of money upfront for the chance to earn a lot more on the back-end. This is a tradeoff that most home sellers are more than willing to make.

In a recent blog we highlighted some statistical data on the selling success of professionally staged homes. "Great" you may think to yourself, "but why don't I just stage my home myself"? Good question. After all, you keep a good home, have great taste, and can de-clutter with the best of them, right?
