Why stage with us?

Statistics show that Staged properties sell 80% faster, for 6-14% more money!

 

Staged Living Room in Hoggs Hollow

The Last Detail Team Has Staged over 1,500 houses and condos in the Toronto area, and OUR statistics show that 91% of the properties we stage, sell in the first month of listing. 

This means that only 9% of the properties we stage go into a second month rental. From our experience, the properties that don't sell in the first month, are usually higher priced and it is normal for them to take a bit longer to sell.

Living Room Before Staging

Case Study 1:

Living Room After Staging - SOLD in 3 Days

Let’s take this condo at Yonge and York Mills for example. Before staging, it was on the market for 3 months with no offers, the feedback the agent was getting is that it was dated.  The agent, Janine Sheeres, from Harvey Kalles Real Estate, was at a loss for words. The building is relatively new but buyers could not see past the furniture that was in the suite. Once we staged the condo, it sold in only 3 Days!!

This was in December, when everyone was saying that the market is slow.  So they originally listed in September, it was on the market for 3 months – September, October, November – which were good months, but it did not sell. Then the furniture was removed, we staged and it SOLD in 3 Days.

Case Study 2:

This time let’s take this 1.6 million dollar house around Leslie and York Mills, in Toronto. The house was

on the market for 6 months with one low offer and no offers after that. The owner was very discouraged – it’s not easy to keep your house in perfect condition for 6 months when you have kids. By the end of the 6 months, he had wished he had taken the low offer since it seemed no one else wanted his house.

The owner called us in to see what we thought. Our first impression – remove green carpet from the stairs and entrance, paint the green banister dark brown to match the floors and Stage. Stage, Stage, Stage!

You always get the biggest bang for your buck from staging! We were sure this is how to get this house sold quickly. The owner decided to listen to us and did everything we suggested. Once we Staged the house, his agent decided to hold back offers.

Well… in 1 week our client had multiple offers and ended up selling the house over what he was asking, and it only took a week on the market this time!

A Staged property will always look better on MLS, bringing more buyers to your door!

Let's say your property was listed unfurnished and it took an average of 90 days to sell it unfurnished, By investing in staging your property, you could sell in a matter of 12 days! Keeping your valuable advertising & interest dollars in your pocket. Properties we Stage have the look of a model home but give the feeling of a cozy place to live. Hiring us is the final step you need to take in order to turn the FOR SALE sign into SOLD.

Our services include beautiful furniture and accessories specially picked to perfect your property for showing. By scaling back the furniture, homebuyers are able to see the space they are buying and not fixate on the furniture.

Home Staging Package for vacant properties:

We visit your property and do the analysis. We plan in detail all the furniture and accessories needed to prepare your property for showing. We then choose the perfect colour and scale furniture and accessories from our large inventory.

Once we are ready, we come back with it all and set it up. This process takes between 1-2 days to perfect, depending on availability.

For larger homes we recommend to stage the whole property or at least the main floor and the master suite.

For the rest of the rooms, the need to stage will depend on the size, view, and shape of the rooms. Smaller or odd shaped rooms should be staged as it is difficult for buyers to imagine what to do with an odd space. For condos, lofts and smaller houses, we strongly recommend to stage the whole property. You only have 3-6 minute to sell your property. It is best not to give the buyer any doubts about putting in an offer on yours before they leave.

Home Staging with us is a small investment in getting the sign to SOLD quickly!
