More than just where you live, your home is also your largest financial asset. So when it comes time to sell, you’ll want to take every step possible to earn the most lucrative return.

In a competitive and highly nuanced real estate market like Toronto, achieving a great return on your investment requires standing out from the crowd. Professional home staging is a reliable way to do exactly that. 

A pillar of our home selling process, staging has proven to be a key proponent of our team and clients’ shared success. 

This post will analyze how staging can exponentially increase your home’s selling price, and Ramsay Real Estate Group’s specialized remodelling and project management expertise provides clients with a seamless, cost-effective, and high-ROI staging experience.

Creating a Canvas

At its core, staging is about maximizing your home’s appeal to potential buyers. With this in mind, staging begins with specifying what kind of buyers we want to attract. 

While no two buyers are identical, we’re able to use localized market data and other strategic insights to identify high-potential demographics. Once we know who is most likely to make strong offers on your property, we begin the transformative process of catering to that audience.

During this stage, your home becomes an open canvas for capturing the eyes and imaginations of buyers. As they view and tour your home, buyers are able to envision themselves living and building memories in the space. This type of emotional connection sets the stage for motivated, top-dollar offers. 

What Does it Look Like?

Rather than a broad or generic process, truly effective home staging is always bespoke. Like buyers, no two homes are identical. Therefore, staging should always cater to the distinct strengths and features of the property itself. 

As part of our approach, we work closely with one of Toronto’s most experienced and sought-after professional stagers. Together we’re able to strategize and implement a polished, high-result staging plan that’s precisely tailored to your home and property. 

Staging looks different for every seller. Based on your home’s unique features, the process could include a modest or expansive selection of some of these items:

  • Interior or exterior painting and patching. 
  • Painting or wrapping cabinets and countertops. 
  • Changes to light fixtures. 
  • Appliance installation. 
  • Bathroom upgrades such as replacements to plumbing fixtures, mirrors, or vanity. 
  • Furniture replacement. 
  • Introducing new decor items or other accessories.

Staging as Step One

While a reliable way to increase the return on your home sale, truly effective staging doesn’t happen at the push of a button. In order to entice as many potential buyers as possible, our process begins with a completely customized plan of action tailored to the unique strengths of the property itself. 

If you already have an ideal timeline for your home sale, it’s best to get in touch with our team as soon as you can. After sitting down and discussing your motivations, expectations, and needs, we’ll do a comprehensive walkthrough of your home to discover its distinct atmosphere and highlight features. Once we have what we need, you’ll be on your way to a low-stress home sale that leaves no money on the table. 

Cost to ROI Analysis

Some homeowners may think they have an idea of which renovations will improve their home’s market value, however, these estimates aren’t always on the mark. When it comes to analyzing ROI, there’s no substitute for up-to-date insights and expertise from an agent – especially in a fast-moving and dynamic market.

While staging does entail some upfront expenses, our focus when representing your listing is to get you the highest possible return on your investment. When it comes to our cost-benefit analysis for pre-market preparations, we’re careful to leave no detail unconsidered. Then, leveraging our specialized knowledge, in-house resources, and professional network, we’re able to stage your home with maximum ROI in mind.
