What is home staging?

Staging improves the condition of a house, helping secure equity and decreasing the time a property sits on the market. That means less stress for everyone.

Why a Staged Property?

A Staged property makes for beautiful photos and vitual tours. Beautiful Photos attract more buyers to showings; this means more offers and increasing the opportunity to sell the listing on the first round of marketing.

In general a property staged by a CSP™ is prepared for market so it screams "BUY ME"

Tip of the Month

Use a good quality plastic urn (black or cement colour) together with a potted fern (live or silk) to add interest and colour to the entrance, doorway, hallway, dining room, or living room. I've also used a mixed hanging flower pot in the summer for "instant" colour. Ensure the urn is tall enough and remove wire support rack from hanging backet.

Fill the urn with sticks during winter months!
