House Staging
Tips & Services
Together with house staging tips online, we are offering standard staging or eco staging services in Greater Vancouver, BC Canada.
A local real estate agent can help you decide about the type and level of staging best suiting your home and area. Doing too much renovation sometimes is not good either, from your investment point of view. Simply, you may not be able to recover your money when you sell. For example, different locations in Vancouver will attract different interests, and hence, determine different levels of home finishing. The house staging allocated amount should be somehow proportional with the value of the property, in order to bring you a good return on investment.
About Eco Staging: this is a relatively new concept we really like and believe in. Using ecological, sustainable, organic and chemical free materials eco staging will achieve a unique result, gentle for planet and your health. You can find more details by scrolling down this page.

What Exactly is Home Staging?
The main purpose of home staging is to make your place appealing to most of the buyers, sell fast, and with the best possible price. It is the process of depersonalizing your home, to allow potential buyers to imagine moving in without delay. As you know, most people would prefer to move in a new home without having to make a lot of modifications, updates and repairs.
This process of preparing your house is blending practical experience, with elements of home design, decoration, and Feng Shui. The goal is to highlight the potential and qualities of your home. The very first perception of space and value, will determine the buyer’s interest in this property.
10 House Staging Tips:
1. Make sure that your home is making a first, positive impression with an inviting entry, clean, attractive and presentable.
2. Even though it is logic, we have to mention to clean the house very well, professionally if possible. Clear the countertops in the kitchen, remove all the fridge magnets and stuff, and keep the bathrooms as tidy as possible, without personal items, and with fresh towels, soaps and candles.
3. Remove anything connected to your family or personal interests (such as family pictures, collections, hobbies, even religious items) - they will make buyer very conscious of being in someone else's environment and it won't get you an offer.
4. Pack as much as you can: extra clothing, toys, books, household items and store them; you need to allow your potential buyer to picture his items in the house.
5. This is our special tip: use white as much as possible; white will make your place look bright and attractive, suggesting peace and comfort. Use white windows and doors trims, white curtains, towels, candles, and flowers. Details are important!
6. Re-paint if necessary, using neutral colors, in cream/ beige hues; even if your place has interesting color choices, it may be safer this way. We are all different, and specific colors will set different moods and reactions.
7. Examine what you need to do to showcase the best features of the property. Furnish key rooms to show the possibilities. You must make your home stand out competition.
8. Most house staging tips you will find online will mention the importance of lighting. Install more lights if necessary, open the blinds, and clean all the windows. It will be like an instant house 'face-lift'.
9. Display fresh flower arrangements throughout the house in visible, key places, and place a fruit basket with 8 fresh oranges, or green apples on the kitchen table.
10. Last but not least on our house staging tips list is brewing fresh coffee when you are showing your home (even if you are not drinking). You can light a few high quality incense sticks in the bathrooms (before people arrive) and place essential oil candles on the hallways or rooms.

"Like most people who live in old houses, we are repeatedly repairing, renovating and house remodeling ... Although we have used several contractors in the past, Marek Witecki is by far the best! We have for many years entrusted all of our renovation work to him (and his company). Marek’s work is first rate, and it is a pleasure to work with him because he is completely fair, honest, hard-working, reliable and respectful of our needs and time lines. He and his crew at The Best Western Contracting Ltd. have worked on all parts of our house, and many projects of house remodeling. He rebuilt our large deck, renovated our dining room, completely redesigned and rebuilt our master bedroom, replaced two bathrooms, built a basement laundry room/workshop and created a new entryway into our basement from the back yard. We appreciate the way he understands what we want and brings our ideas to reality. He also offers very useful and inventive ideas that we ourselves have not considered. For example, his suggestion to remove a wall in our master bedroom suite created an open, airy space that is not only a great pleasure to be in, but is also more functional than we could have imagined. Marek has a thorough knowledge of current products and construction methods. He has high standards and his workmanship is excellent. We have always found his cost estimates to be realistic, and he works hard to finish jobs within an agreed upon time schedule. Marek has always exceeded our expectations, and we can recommend him to prospective clients without reservation!"
