A significant number of new built or renovated homes have been put up for sale empty.

Some of these houses just sit on the market for months. The major reason why they have not sold is because they are empty. The question is why are they not staged?

Feng Shui is the ancient art of divination that uses the laws of both Heaven and Earth to help improve one’s life, by receiving positive energy. It’s all about creating harmonious surroundings that enhance the balance of yin and yang (good and bad).

Every industry has its own language and terms. These words and phrases can be confusing to anyone who is not part of the daily operations of a specific industry, and the home staging business is no exception.

Home staging may not be mandatory in the home selling process, however, it is a crucial step. Your home is worth thousands of dollars, so it makes sense to sell it for its exact worth.

Home stagers help you see the potential of every room and facilities (fire-place, swimming pool, etc.) in your house. They create neutral settings that allow potential buyers to envision themselves living there.

For home sellers who do not have the luxury of time to wait until spring, preparing your home properly and staging it right is important when selling during this cold season.

The Christmas Holidays is the perfect time for the over-the-top and outlandish décor! The more the merrier as they say.  But how much is too much when selling during the holidays? If you’re selling this Holiday Season, you might want to keep some of those holiday décors in the box for now and just use it in your new house next year.  Too many holiday decorations are a BIG TURN-OFF for your potential buyers.

Listing agents have to work through a plethora of situations and have many uncomfortable conversations with a variety of homesellers. Ideally, sellers rely on their agent’s advice to update and declutter their homes before they go on the market.

Agents can provide lists of home and garden fix-ups along with articles outlining things buyers hate, maintenance checklists and simple cosmetic fixes. Onerous as some of these to-do list items may be, most sellers will comply, albeit some more cheerfully than others.

Over the past few years, the real estate market in many Canadian cities has become increasingly competitive. Many homeowners sought out the services of a home stager to attract more buyers, and sell their homes quickly, at an attractive price.

Whether you plan on staging your home for a quick sale or redesigning to match the modern trends, you’ll need the skills of a professional to reach your goals. Home stagers are efficient, creative, up-to-date with the latest design trends, and aware of what makes a buyer fall in love with a home. They keep track of your budget and accordingly create a coordinated design plan to meet your objectives.

Destined Dreams Home Staging has now staged over $20 Million in real estate thus far in 2018 and has helped several of real estate agents and homeowners in every home style and price point. And through our experience, we have learned that, more than ever before, the world of real estate and the business of home staging transcend locations.

If you’ve placed your house on the market and want a quick sale, home staging is the best option. Professional home stagers focus on the visual narrative rather than the size of home you own.

When you decide to hire a home stager to decorate your property to sell faster and for more money, you need to make sure you’re investing in the right person.

Sometimes, owners are so accustomed to the smell of their home, they don’t even notice it is driving the potential buyers away! Buyers are missing the potential of the property because they are in such a hurry to leave.
