Home staging is an important element in getting your home ready for the real estate market. As a real estate team, we know what a difference home staging can do to give your home a facelift before it is listed. Here are some suggestions homeowners can do to help set the stage before our Anne Winch Real Estate Team rolls up their sleeves to stage your home.

What can I do before you stage my home?

  • Deep clean – clean your home top to bottom
  • Declutter – not only remove clutter from rooms, counters etc. but remove excess furniture from rooms
  • Depersonalize – remove personal pictures, children’s sport schedules
  • Make sure paint flows from room to room in neutral colours
  • Allow light to come in by removing heavy drapes, opening blinds or adding light window treatments
  • Check for any minor repairs that need to be done

What our Team does for home staging:

Our primary goal when we stage your home is to make it look its best. Home staging can be a bit overwhelming as some of your furniture, artwork or accessories may be removed or stored to accommodate staging furniture and accessories. Please do not take this personally as you need a third party to objectively look at your home and stage it in the best light.

What our Team offers to you:

  • Free home staging
  • Free packing kit to get you started to store your valuables
  • Warehouse of staging furniture and accessories
  • A qualified professional painter to touch up areas of your home and may include a feature wall
  • Professional cleaner – after we have staged your home, we offer a cleaner to get your home ready for your first open house and all for free

When you list your home for sale, there is always a whirlwind of activities from decluttering, cleaning and staging. This is necessary for buyers to envision themselves in your home.

We hope that these tips will help you understand the importance of home staging and how we can help. Just remember, we will be with you every step of the way. Give us a call and let us show you how we can make your home look its best and sold in no time.
