About Capital Home Staging & Design
Capital Home Staging & Design is Ottawa’s FIRST award winning home staging company taking home the Better Business Bureau’s Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics in 2009 for the small business category. We work with homeowners and realtors to help get their homes SOLD in under 30 days! Many think that staging is making a home pretty but in reality staging is effective marketing of a property which is what APSD (Association of Property Scene Designers) is all about, and why APSD stagers have an impeccable Days on Market average of 21 days Nationally and here in Ottawa our average DOM is only 16 days!
APSD is the world leader in Home Staging Training & Certification and was created for the New Generation of Home Stagers! As times change, markets change, people change and we must keep up to date accordingly. Home Staging has been around since the 1970’s and needed to have an update on teaching of “vignettes” & “accessorizing”. No more cookie baking or “show homes” that DOES NOT WORK anymore! APSD stagers use methods of TARGET Marketing, Purposeful Accessorizing (not Random Accessorizing), and the APSD exclusive staging Pyramid that includes the trait of a Pocket of Emotion™ the single best way to get a home SOLD FAST!
“The APSD™ team came in and staged a house I had listed for over 2 months. Before they came, I had 20 showings with only one terrible offer. This house was a disaster too. I don’t know how they did it, but in less than 2 hours it was transformed! They went on to their next property and I stayed to show the house and guess what-90 minutes later we had negotiated and it was SOLD for 97% of asking price! The buyers fell in love with the property on the spot and did not even want to look at any other property. 90 Minutes! I could not believe it. It is true, when they tell you that they don’t just stage at APSD™, they sell! You have my business forever!”

"Hi Kristy, I just wanted to let you know that we have sold our house! We received an offer after four days on the market, and the conditions were waived 10 days after our house was first listed for sale! I am sure that the quick sale was a result of your expertise and the furniture and staging advice you provided. The furniture really helped to complete the house and showed it to its best advantage. Thanks again for your help - it was well worth it. Thanks very much".
