Vacant Staging Specialist?

Monday, August 9th, 2010

People have an EXTREMELY hard time visualizing a space without furniture in it. In fact, only 10% of buyers can visualize furniture placement and the scale of a room. Vacants are cold and lack emotion, colour and style. Even if the story is a good one, say a couple that is getting married, the empty house still tells the potential buyer a sad story. Why?  Because it LOOKS sad when a house is empty or mostly empty!

I have several flippers who use me for every one of their properties. I also have a few builders/developers that stage their models while they sell the rest of the units/homes. And, of course, I have some of those happy and sad stories of homeowners who call me directly to stage their vacant/semi-vacant home.

I am, by far, staging more vacants than lived-in homes. I have staged so many lately that I feel like I have become a VACANT STAGING EXPERT!

I love staging vacants! They are fast, usually easier and always end with a dramatic result. Keep em’ coming!

CONDO FEVER!

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

UCDSS recently completed an exciting and large condo job. We staged six vacant units in a contemporary/urban style renovated condo in downtown Hamilton. With help from the savvy developer, they sold out before we were even done the job.

It was a great experience to work on a job of that size under a short, aggressive deadline. I am proud to have been involved with “Film Works Lofts”.

Up next…I’m becoming a vacant staging specialist!
