All I did was....Home Staging Success Stories

In this home staging in Woodbridge Ralph Oppendisano from Royal Lepage Maximum  called Advantage Staging in to do a consultation on a 9.4 million dollar home on the National Golf Course.

The agent that sold it a few years ago asked what is I was going to do there as it had been designed by Brian Gluckstein , a very talented Toronto designer for upper price point homes.

When I arrived I was taken on a tour of the property-

• underground parking for 20 with heated floors, hand selected marble floors throughout
  

• wine cellar for 3500 wine bottles

• walk in sub zero freezers

• 25 foot fountain off the rear terrace

• stunning kitchen, media room, opulent bathrooms,
  

• master bedroom with ladies and gentlemens sitting areas

I could go on, but you get the picture. I have seen prestigious homes with some of the more desirable ammenities but this home has them all and then some. 

At this price point of home the next buyer will definitely be looking on line. The list of eligible buyers is slim in this price point.  What could I do to stage this home and market it for sale? 

What could I do to make the listing photos do their job- get a buyer to put this listing on their "must see list".

They definitely didn't need rental furniture, props or artwork.

This home is a good example of showing that staging will always provide what buyers are looking for when buying their next home. Highlighting the focal point of each room and showing how you would live in the home.

After packing the extra items away, moving accessories and artwork around- this is what 180 Fenyrose in Woodbridge looked like when I was done.

Investment, minimal.

Impact, priceless.

In this home staging in Vaughan the agent Geroge Zanette of Remax Premier invited Advantage Staging to consult for a senior who really had no idea what home staging was or why you would want to do it.

The condo was vacant as the owner no longer lived there. It was an empty space that buyers would have to imagine what it would look like if they lived there.

Luckily the owner has supportive family that understood that home staging is marketing your property for sale and decided to bring some of their furniture and accessories out of storage and staged the condo themselves. 

To make this condo unique, all I did was suggest that they stage a windowless pantry off the kitchen as an office so that it could be marketed as a two bedroom with office. There were no shelving units in the room so I thought why not market it in a way that would stand out from the other units in the condo building. Give buyers something to remember this particular unit. As the room was quite large, the new owner could always use the room as pantry/office  by adding shelving or storage units.

I never did meet the owner or the family, however, they followed my staging suggestions and look what they accomplished. Remember your professional home stager is a person trained in creating a lifestyle look for any property and this one says "Welcome Home".

Investment, minimal.

Impact, pricless.
