STAGING INVENTORY FROM MY HOME

Our staging team was in the middle of preparing this home for sale when Ontario announced the Declaration of Emergency. We had the report from Heather at Styled and Staged but not the needed inventory. Since she could not operate we had to get creative with how we staged this home. Looking around my own home I had an idea! Let’s stage this house using all the art and accessories from our own home! That’s exactly what we did.

Foyer:

Our team’s suggestion for the foyer was to remove the shoes and items on the floor. We also suggested removing the coat tree since it looks like there isn’t any closet which there is. Suggested a little mat for inside the door so when buyers come in they don’t drag dirt on to the nice wood floors. For the photos and showings, we recommended the roller blind should be rolled up or removed.

Living Room:

We suggested breaking up the sectional top open up the area. Only moved the sofa along the long wall and put the loveseat in the back-sitting in. Also, put the ottoman in the sitting room. We suggested to bring down the chair and ottoman from the front bedroom. We adjusted the area rug for the new layout. We brought in artwork from Chris’s home for above the sofa. We kept the floor lamp. We thought it fit well with this room.

Dining Room:

The dining room was already pretty clear. We suggested removing everything on the such as the bike. We also suggest painting the ceiling and replacing the burnt-out light bulb.

Kitchen:

We suggested the kitchen counters be cleared off. We suggested for photos to not have anything around or in the sink and to remove the calendar and everything on the side of the fridge.

Sitting Area:

We suggested removing the blinds just for photos and showings. We left the coffee table and the TV stand the way it is just to tidy up the TV stand. We brought the other half of the couch from the living and centred it between the windows. We added some artwork (again from Chris’s home) above the couch as well to complete the room. We suggested just the ottoman in front of the window as we thought space might be tight with a chair.

Master Bedroom:

We suggested the chair and stool go downstairs to the living room and to remove the blinds for photos and showings. We also suggested removing the wooden bookcase. Our staging team brought in night tables and lamps to complete the room.

Office:

We suggested everything to be cleared out of this office and brought in a computer desk and chair from our staging inventory.

2nd Bedroom:

We suggested removing the laundry basket and removing everything but the lamp from the nightstand. We also suggested removing the floor mat for this room.

The Results:

We ended up in a multiple offer situation and our clients got a great price for their home.

  Over the years, with multiple military moves, we’ve had the opportunity to work with many real estate agents, and we can confidently say that not all are created equal. Chris, by far, has been the most trustworthy and easiest real estate agent we’ve had the pleasure to work with.

  Colin has been the best realtor to work with and helped us buy a great house in the perfect neighborhood. Colin and the rest of the team at Chris Scott were incredibly helpful the whole way and always available to answer questions, show us houses at a time that was convenient for us and were just generally professional and friendly during the whole process. We will recommend Colin and the team to our friends and family.

  I was a co-Executrix of an estate, and we had a condo that we had to sell for the estate.  In order to get the property ready for sale, we had to have the over 5,000 square foot condo painted and the carpets replaced.  Since the property was empty, Chris recommended a home stager that he uses on properties that require these services, and she did a fantastic job of staging the condo. It took the condo to the next level. The condo sold for a phenomenal price, and we were very happy with Chris Scott and his abilities.  He always gives over 100 percent to get the job done!  I recommend him to anyone that requires the services of a great real estate agent.

  We worked with Rachel and she was beyond diligent. She is so organised and meticulous with details, it really helps when buying a home. She even agreed to do a virtual walk through for the home we ended up buying because we weren’t going to get there ourselves prior to offers being reviewed. She was also great with recommending areas to consider and avoid. Highly recommend.

  Rachel was amazing. She helped me find the perfect home for me and my son during a challenging time in my life. She was extremely patient and empathetic, professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her. No one will work harder for you than Rachel.

  My husband and I purchased a house in the surrounding Ottawa area with the assistance of Colin from this group of individuals. We unfortunately were left with no choice but to purchase a home sight unseen due to our work circumstances. We originally considered not purchasing because of this.
We deliberated and chose to purchase a home after participating in FaceTime showings and we could not have been more satisfied. Colin was objective, professional, calm, informative, and realistic. He listened to our needs and helped us choose our home. The fact that we were pleasantly surprised, and a year later remain pleased as punch, says everything about how talented this company is. Will, without a doubt, use this company when we leave Ottawa.

  We worked with Chris to find a home back in 2011 that would suit our desire to be close to work. He was nothing but professional and courteous! Listening to our needs and showing us what we were looking for. Years later, when we thought about down sizing and finding a renovated home, he took us around to see some in the neighborhood. He always open to helping us out in our searches
