Tips From Toronto Home Staging Professionals

By Francis Riggs


We would appreciate a high price should we be contemplating selling our homes. Better if we made the sale in the shortest time. Therefore, we would welcome any ploy facilitating this. Toronto home staging experts have developed several techniques over time. We should take advantage of them to dispose our properties.

The first tip covers the first impression of the home. Curb appeal attracts prospective home buyers into the residence. An unkempt exterior of the house creates an impression nobody cares about the property. Curb appeal is enhanced with a freshly cut lawn and the leaves raked. Snow requires shoveling from walkways and driveways in winter. Any obvious defects need replacement or repairs. This is often cheaper than a prospective seller would think.

It is paramount that walkways and porches remain swept clean. Recycling cans and garbage containers need tucking away in the back or in garages. The whole exterior would benefit from a proper pressure wash and decks thoroughly scrubbed. This provides a repainting alternative. In any case, if everything is clean, repainting often proves unnecessary, or light touch up suffices.

Potential home buyers see your treasured keepsakes as unwanted clutter. Clutter forces buyers to lower your propertys value in their eyes meaning rejection. It is therefore vital that you de-clutter in a systematic manner. Reduce the contents of each closet to a bare minimum. Create a time span to make the drudgery faster and easier. If the task proves fruitless, rent a storage locker and stash the clutter there until you have moved into your new address.

We need to prevent our customer from focusing on the small flaws and the work they might need to have them fixed. We have to make a walk-through while fixing small problems. These include doorframes having chipped paint which should be filled using white out. We should glue back any peeling wallpaper. Each light switch and electrical outlet must have their covers and those cracked replaced. Moldy caulking and dripping taps require repairs. These little flaws everywhere are the basis of rejection.

Color is a sellers best friend. White walls often seem sterile and cold. Should a homes interior requires to be repainted; the seller should go for pleasing color palettes. The palette should be one that allows rooms to flow into each other. A signature color would be good throughout the house. A feature color in a room may accent others with the use of accessories and throw cushions.

Placing pieces of art strategically improves the apparent value for our property. Such pieces distract attention from unavoidable flaws. They give boring spaces focal points for those with discerning eyes. Careful consideration must apply. We need to position art pieces at the level of the eye. A piece needs to be appropriate in relation to a wall. A large framed piece makes a certain area smaller if the wall it is mounted on is small. Religious pieces may prove offensive to certain buyers in Toronto.

These constitute some of the numerous things that could improve a homes appearance and make it more valuable for home buyers. The various steps may take time but the results make it worthy. They increase chances of a faster sale at a higher price.
