Talking to clients about the condition of their home is often a very delicate subject. We at Toronto Condo Staging and Design understand the relationship between vendor and realtor as being crucial to the sales process. Our aim is to take the pressure off you and get the home in the best showing condition possible.

Tell the truth. Home Stagers are viewed as a neutral party with expertise in preparing homes for sale. By reminding the seller that we are marketing not decorating their home we can be very honest with homeowners about what can stay and what has to go, without the risk of offending them.

Best Showing Condition. Recommending Staging to your clients will guarantee your listing is in model suite condition in time for the Agent's open house. Staged homes are seen as the premium listings to be seen by other realtors.

Higher Commission. Staged homes can net 3-6% higher asking prices than unstaged homes.* That means more money for your client and a higher commission for you.

Quick Sale. Staged homes sell 2-3 times faster than unstaged homes, so you can move forward with building your business.

Homeowners are now demanding more from their realtors than ever before. Home Staging is becoming the Value-Added service that sets realtors far above their competition and many homeowners are putting the onus on the realtor to cover these costs. We have a wide range of practical and cost-efficient ways of introducing this service to your clients. >> Contact Us now for more information

"I have used Darren Brand of Toronto Condo Staging and Design to revamp a tired condo. After the condo was staged it sold and set a new price for the building!"
