The power of staging
When you come to sell your house, it's vital to present it in its best light.
clean and declutter your property, inside and out, to make it more appealing to potential buyers.
Home staging
Whether you’ve lived in your house for two years or twenty, memories have been made there. from birthday parties and
holidays to game days and movie nights, everything about your home is you. now, you’re getting ready to leave and the
words “declutter” and “depersonalise” are getting thrown at you.
When presenting your home to buyers, you want to maximise their ability to see it as their home. This can be as simple as
neutral wall colours, great lighting, and making sure everything is clean and in working order. Brightness, horizontal surfaces
that are free of clutter, and appropriately sized furniture make spaces feel bigger and welcoming, showcasing each room’s
potential.
Potential buyers want to see your home, not your stuff. think, less is more. the more you prepare by packing away items for
staging purposes, the less you’ll have to do when it comes time to move. at Engel & Völkers Toronto Central, we provide all of
our sellers the opportunity to meet with a professional stager. they discuss your options, offer advice, help you organise, and
leave you a to-do list. With their help, the next steps to listing your home on the market are a breeze!
