Home Staging is not a fad, it has become an essential tool in the effective marketing and selling of homes in Nanaimo and on Central Vancouver Island.
As professional Home Stagers, we are trained to uncover the enormous potential in a house and then emphasize it for everyone to see and experience. The result: potential buyers feel more comfortable, want to stay longer and look around more thoroughly. The more time they spend in your house, the more likely they can visualize themselves living there.
In both active and slow real estate markets, competition is all around you. Home Staging is the most effective method of setting your property apart from the rest, in the eyes of both buyers and realtors.
When is the best time to stage your house?
A Real Estate Home Stage is best created before you call a Realtor to represent you. A well staged home can increase the asking price.
Realtors recognize staged homes as premium listings to be viewed and this results in more showings and more offers.
Online photos and virtual tours will be more effective in capturing the essence of the house and create interest among both buyers and other Realtors.
Why should I hire a Home Stager?
Research indicates that staged homes sell more quickly and for top price in both active and slow markets. During the stressful time of moving your life, we can ease the burden of preparing your home for sale and help you get that SOLD sign on the lawn faster.
How does it all work?
We start with an Initial On-Site Estimate - we walk-through your house together to decide what areas will be best served by staging, then we make a plan. No, you don't have to have the entire house staged, often just doing a few key rooms is enough.
On the day of the homestaging, you get to go and play while we do our transformation. We are experts at using the treasures you have, enhancing the best features of each room and highlighting the areas that are of most interest to buyers.
What if the house is empty?
Yes, we can stage your house or condo with temporary furnishings to create the ambience suited to buyers. Cost of furnishing rentals will be determined at the time of the On-Site Estimate.
We can also ..
Help you get things fixed if needed, assist in sourcing and shopping for furnishings and accessories if you desire, and suggest colours that will make rooms appeal to the broadest audience.
Our Mission:
To increase the saleability of your home and help you realize the maximum return on your investment.
"Working with Cooperative Design Home Staging & Interior ReDesign has been an invaluable tool in marketing our listings. Having homes staged, before photos are created for marketing, ensures our clients make the very best impression the moment they are exposed to buyers.
Staging takes away the cold feeling of an empty house and replaces it with a warm and inviting home. Buyers expect more these days. They expect homes to show like a magazine photo shoot and Cooperative design delivers!"
John Surtess, RE/MAX Ocean Point Realty
Cooperative Design Home Staging did an excellent job staging our show home and they are great to work with. They brought out the best in the show home. I look forward to working with them again in the future.
John Krmpotic, Kuma Enterprises, NANAIMO
Our house in Nanaimo had an offer on it in less than 24 hours ... this we know was in large part because of the staging work done by Cooperative Design.
We appreciated the great look they gave the house and the professionalism of their work.
Mr. & Mrs. G. Rose, NANAIMO
