THE VALUE OF STAGING
We recently had the pleasure of working with some wonderful past clients on the sale of their beautiful townhome in Upper Hunt Club. In preparation for our appointment, we looked at all the most recent comparable sales. The house right beside was the closest comparable property. In fact, it was the exact same layout, size, bedrooms, bathrooms. It was virtually identical. Except the owners decided to sell with a limited-service brokerage and did not stage the house. The other home also had the advantage of selling in the hot summer months and is an end unit that buyers would pay a premium for.
These are the results:

Our clients received $52,000 more for their unit. It is stories like these we like to share because we think everyone brings a different skill set when selling ones home. Our real estate team believes in our value proposition as we get to see results like these on a daily basis in Ottawa.
