We staged this house on Merril St in the East York area on December 10th 2009, Iris listed it, and it sold 5 days later over asking price:
Hi Ella, Merrill sold last night for 393,500k…26,600k over asking. My clients were extremely happy!

Invest in Storage
Clear away any unnecessary furniture throughout the house and stash it somewhere offsite. All of your rooms should showcase their intended function.

Staging a second bedroom should be probably the easiest task while preparing your home for selling. However, don’t forget to check if everything is perfect.
The guest room is probably only used some days of the year, so there is a good chance that furniture and other items won’t be worn out. However, sunlight or humidity can naturally damage materials even when the room is unoccupied, so don’t forget to look closer at it. Focus on bed sheets, carpets, drapes and bad smells.

Master bedroom staging is one of the easier tasks when staging a home, since the furniture present in the room is quite limited. However, we cannot afford to be complacent even here.
Among the usual basic steps, which are cleaning, depersonalization and decluttering, we should focus on several requirements that potential buyer is searching for in a bedroom. Bedroom should be neutral, comfortable, spacious and maybe even slightly romantic.

Since I started using The Last Detail Home Staging, all my listings sold within a week. One even sold within 2 days, and the buyer wanted to purchase the furniture.
A home on Withrow got my sellers 105,000 over asking price, a home on Fallingbrook sold in under 2 months after being on the market for 6 months with no offers, Dartnell sold right away at full price within a day on the market…What can I say. There hasn’t been a single miss yet.
“Ella and her team have worked for many of our clients and have transformed their homes! They took different styles of homes and condos in a range of prices and maximized their showing potential. We have had great success with using The Last Detail. Ella is very responsive, professional and extremely reliable. It is great to have a turnkey solution, as they just take over so the client does not have to worry about a thing!”
