Staging your Vacant Condo will INCREASE your Investment!



Staged homes sell 2–3 times faster and for up to 6% more than unstaged ones.  People perceive staged units that are well decorated as being worth more.
 

Professional stagers know how to highlight the features of the unit and distract from any ‘not so desirable’ features.

• It’s extremely important to show people how they can use the space, and this is especially so in properties that are small or have unique layouts.

• It’s all about the marketing! Marketing is not just how the realtor describes the unit on the MLS, it’s how a property looks and feels to your potential buyer/tenant.


• If your budget is limited, consider focusing on the main living areas and at least one bedroom.
 

• There are a lot of resources available for tips on how to stage your own home. If you can’t borrow furniture and artwork, rental companies carry everything from furniture to linens for not a lot of outlay. Just keep in mind that the goal is to show people how to use the space most effectively.


Return on your investment for staging : 299%

The Marilyn Monroe Buildings ...

The call came and we jumped at the chance!  It was a challenge and a thrill for Darren and team to design the staging of a suite at 60 Absolute, in Mississauga.  The buildings, stylishly called The Marilyn Monroe Buildings, are breath-taking from the outside.  We equally wanted to make this unit, breath-taking on the inside!


We feel we accomplished our goal by thinking outside the box; like using only the center piece of a large sectional as the sofa in the living room.  We also used punches of colour and texture to create a luxurious feel but keeping the space open and airy, by using glass and reflective pieces throughout.  A hint of teal on an ottoman, grabs your eye, as you walk into the unit!


Architectural wall pieces add depth and interest to a otherwise dull wall.  


Continuing the same colour throughout the space brings unity and flow.

We loved our time at Absolute.

Bigger and Brighter!


"Thank you so much for everything you and the Toronto Condo Staging and Design team did yesterday! When Marc and I came home last night, we could not even believe this was our place. Somehow, you made it look much bigger and brighter than it ever has before .... we might just buy it ourselves!"

Emily Waugh, Toronto
