Consultations
1. Occupied Selling: During this process we work with the seller on a room by room basis, including the exterior (if applicable) and provide an on-site assessment checklist. This handy to-do booklet is great for the do-it-yourselfer and works best with our Pre-Photo Prep service (see below) for those all-important online photos.
2. Vacant Selling: On-site visit is required to assess the needs of the property and to take measurements. Part of vacant staging package.
3. Dwelling: For the client who plans on redecorating and needs help with selecting colours, we offer a colour consultation service using Sherwin-Williams®, DULUX®, and Benjamin Moore® paint colours and can pass on our designer discounts. We'll also recommend window coverings, flooring, countertops, etc. for those renovation jobs, as well as provide shopping assistance (including our designer discounts) for furniture and accessories.
4. NEW REMOTE Consultation: This is the perfect "Social Distancing" alternative!
Requirements: Room photos (we'll discuss), internet connection, your email address, and Zoom.us, FaceTime, Skype or a similar video platform.
It's also a great option for long distance advise.
Consultations cost $300 (based on 2 hrs)†
Occupied Home Staging / Redesign
This service starts with the seller's existing furnishings and decor. After decluttering, de-personalizing, and all cleaning have been done, we'll come in, reorganize and restyle the elements throughout your home, creating the best traffic-flow. For this reason, excess furniture removal/storage* may be necessary. At times, a redesign can include personal shopping for appropriate pieces** to give your home that current look (which today's buyers expect to see). In just a few hours, your property should be ready for the real estate market and online photos. Partnered with our Pre-Photo Prep service (when the photography takes place on a different day) will sell your home that much quicker.
May include accessory package rentals*
Vacant Home Staging
We recommend fully furnishing and accessorizing a minimum of 5 rooms (example: living room, dining room, primary bedroom, kitchen, family room). This service includes: optimal design work, sourcing of furniture and accessories, selecting appropriate decor, packing, delivery, set-up, staging, de-staging, and removal. The result invites potential buyers to imagine their own furniture placement possibilities and to drive traffic to your home.
Cost varies based on number of rooms staged, rentals, and budget
