About Home Staging
It takes 60 Seconds to make a first impression
Buyers know if they are going to purchase your home within the first 60 seconds. This is their first impression! If you can get the buyers to invest their emotions into the home, you are more likely to have it sold faster. Buying a house is an emotional decision for them.
We are the NEW GENERATION of home stagers!
No longer using the old methods of random accessorizing
and baking cookies to make it smell good, it just doesn't
work anymore. Our team has come from many different backgrounds
and trained with many companies yet we chose to use the
APSD (Association of Property Scene Designers) proven
method of staging homes, that has a national days of market
of 21 days! We focus on results and making it look good
is the side effect!
Capital Home Staging & Design has invested thousands of dollars into our large inventory selection so our clients do not have to purchase items for the purpose of sale. We always try and use the owners own items throughout the home so we can keep costs down and still showcase the home in a way that appeals to the majority of buyers. The inventory is available to home sellers that are lacking the finishing touches for the home if it’s required.
Why Stage With Us?
We are professional stagers that have obtained diplomas and real world experience on hundreds of home a year resulting in a vast array of knowledge in real estate marketing. We are Ottawa’s only award winning home staging company that is designed to help home owners maximize their home value.
Working with a professional stager will help decrease stress as we develop a firm list of recommendations that is easy to follow and navigate through allowing you as the home owner to decide and evaluate what tasks you are willing to take on. We also are a full service company that has trades professionals ready to provide quotes for certain tasks if we are on a tight deadline.
Did you know that not all stagers are created equal?
Although many people may believe that staging is a generic skill that anyone can have, there is actually a lot of work and skill that goes into our profession. I cannot speak for all home staging companies, but I can speak about Capital Home Staging & Design and what makes us an excellent staging company. A large part of who we are is our unique personalities. We are tactful, respectful and most importantly sensitive to homeowners during a stressful time in their lives. This is a challenge that we face daily as we meet with many different client personalities. We have the natural ability to converse, problem-solve, and establish priorities. Not every stager has the discretion, proper language or even tools to approach a client diplomatically when entering a private home. We see how to accent natural highlights of a home, correct visual imbalances, and make adjustments and other major factors. We see more then the simple decoration of a house. We assess’ all factors in a home varying from air quality to storage solutions. By addressing all aspects, our staging evaluation can bring in top dollar for the home and can even create profitability. We make decisions based on our staging/decorating education and natural skill for finding discrepancies and remedying them efficiently. There are so many other factors for being a high quality stager (and not just when in a home with a client). Capital Home Staging & Design takes time to self promote and build a positive reputation within the industry. We sustain relationships with trade people, maintain strong ground in the social media world and are always adding to our solid portfolio. These are key contributors that make this company superior to other unaccredited stagers.
Obtaining quotes from multiple companies is like comparing apples to oranges!
This is a CREATIVE industry yes the product in the end will be beautiful but products and what stagers charge for the items are different (once company can be priced extremely low but bring in few items another can be priced high but show it off to the nines so be careful when comparing because it doesn’t work like you think it would) Unlike a painter or a home inspector staging with inventory is NOT a set fee it’s impossible to do so as each property will require different products.
How can you choose the RIGHT property to stage with? Don’t compare numbers compare what truly matters: the number of jobs performed, credentials, testimonials, portfolio etc. this is key to finding the best stager in the city!
