There are a lot of good reasons to stage your home:
1. Staging=Better Photos=More Buyers
You know how you love browsing the internet looking at properties for sale? You’re not alone. We’ve built our whole business model around the fact that people shop online for a home. Today’s Buyer has come to expect the polish they see on TV – we call it the HGTV effect. Staged homes just look better in photos – there’s no denying it.
2. Staging=More $$= Happier Sellers
While the impact of staging depends on a lot of factors, we believe professional staging adds 2-3% to the price of a home in Toronto. So a $1,000,000 house, for example, would sell for $1,020,000-$1,030,000 if it was professionally staged. What would you do with an extra $20 or 30K?
3. Staging = A Faster Sale=Less Stress
Despite what you might think, not every home listed for sale in Toronto sells in 7 days. Selling your home in less time means spending your time with your friends and family instead of washing your floors and making your bed while you wait for your home to sell.
4. It’s included in the BREL team commission
Yes, you read that right. Professionally staging a typical Toronto home costs anywhere from $2,500 to $10,000. We believe staging is so important that we include it in our standard service. We have a 3,000 sqft warehouse full of art, furniture and accessories, 2 full-time stagers on staff (exclusive to BREL clients) and preferred partnerships with all the people you need to prep your home for sale.
