What to expect at your home consultation

Your home is most likely your greatest asset, and you deserve the most return when selling. As soon as you plan to put it on the market, it becomes a product. Every product needs tweaking before hitting the shelves. Like a book in a bookstore among hundreds, your home needs to stand out and gain attention, so buyers can fall in love with it as much as you love it. A home staging consultation can help in making that your reality.

As home stagers, our goal is to:

• Help your home show its best over the competition.
• Develop the imagination and cause excitement and buzz about the property.
• Help it sell for maximum profit in less time.

A home staging consultation is the foundation of an investment prior to selling your home. We take a tour of the property, from the perspective of a buyer. It usually takes 1-2+ hours, depending on the size of the home. We look at the bare bones of your home and ask ourselves – what is the best way to:

• Show the potential of each room?
• Maximize the space available?
• Ensure the property meets the expectations of buyers at the proposed price point?

After the consultation, you will receive the full detailed report of our property assessment. You don’t need to feel intimidated. It is no different than an editor for an author before it goes to publishing. We work for you, and we are simply giving you our best professional opinion on what will add value to your home and make buyers submit an offer.

We take the role of a buyer as we make detailed notes on a room-by-room checklist. This often involves recommendations on landscaping, fixing, cleaning, painting, minimizing certain items or how to arrange furniture, artwork and decor to the best layout of the room. You may require a painter or contractor if you prefer to hire out instead. All of these recommendations work towards impressing buyers and bringing focus to the home’s best qualities.
