I'm beginning to realize how much of a difference it makes if a Realtor has  training in Interior Design. 

Yesterday, I made my rounds to view homes in Markham that had just come onto the market.  I was excited when I realized  one than had been staged.  Everything was done as might 'normally' be done by a stager...except for one thing - the walls were in sad shape, and I was not impressed.

The staging failed to include a freshening up of walls with modern paint colours. 

 Imagine, you have some nice art, pillows and finishing touches against a backdrop that is  lacklustre, worn, and so uninspiring.  

Staging is a great investment when done well. And, frankly every home needs a little help before it goes onto the market.   Staging should be examined and applied  from a very broad perspective -  the art accessories a stager brings is one layer of a very important piece of the puzzle, when it comes to selling your home.  What else do you need to do to get your home sold?  Ask a Realtor who has experience and training in Interior Design and/or home staging.  

Getting the biggest bang for your buck in your Real Estate transaction isn't as simple as letting the stager loose in your home.
