Staged Living Room in Yorkville

Home staging (also known as house staging, house fluffing or Real Estate Staging) is an art of preparing your home to perfection before it’s put on the real estate market. When done properly, it allows the seller to unlock and present the full potential of a house they wish to sell. Home staging is about creating the right emotions and atmosphere in which the buyer feels ‘at home’ the moment they walk into the property. From the seller’s point of view, home staging increases the chances of the property selling quickly for great price, sometimes considerably exceeding the asking price.

This young couple bought a new house and needed to sell this one. We came in to do the consultation and advised them to remove most of their furniture and replace with lighter, more modern items. They also had a large piano in the dining room which we strongly recommended to remove. They listened to everything we recommended and guess what? They got a great price in return.
