Still have questions? These are a few of the most asked staging questions - if you don't see your question here, please feel free to contact us!
What is home staging?
Staging is a marketing tool used to showcase your home, thus appealing to the widest range of buyers. You are not just selling your home, you are selling a lifestyle.
Why should I stage my home?
Gone are the days where de-cluttering and cleaning was all you had to do to list your home. To stay competitive in today’s market, you need to create an emotional connection with potential buyers! This connection or emotional response occurs within seconds of entering your front door so first impression is key! After all, cupcake without icing is just a muffin!
Why cant I just stage my own home?
You can, however it's often difficult for homeowners to detach themselves emotionally from their home and their belongings. The Charmed Home, has the ability to see your home through critical buyer’s eyes and take the personal attachment out of the process.
Will staging guarantee that my house will sell?
There are many factors that are at play in selling your home successfully - price, location, and condition of home. If those things are taken care of, then staging, will definitely give you an advantage. Each buyer that comes through your door has most likely viewed or will be viewing multiple properties so you have to stand our from the competition.
Can I choose the style of furnishings being used for staging?
Because staging is not about personal taste and preference, the style chosen will be determined based on target market and type of home.
If I have pets, can I still have my home staged?
Absolutely! However, as rental items are not for personal use, the same goes for pets. Care must be taken to protect the items from your pets.
What will it cost to stage my home?
The cost of staging is variable and will depend upon the size of the home, number of rooms being staged and how many rental items are needed. However, staging is always cheaper than your first price reduction!
Do I need to stage my vacant home?
YES! Many buyers have difficulty visualizing the form and function of a space. By staging, we will create flow and cohesiveness allowing buyers to picture their own items while showing off your home’s best attributes instead of drawing attention to the home’s flaws.
What happens on staging day?
Once all of the recommendations are complete and your home is ready for staging, we can come in and add “The Charmed” touch! The process takes approximately 4-5 hours (depending on size of home) and we ask that the home be vacant of people and pets.
Are staging and decorating the same thing?
No, they are actually very different. The way you live in your home and the way you market it to sell are two very different things. Decorating personalizes the space to appeal to your own specific taste where as staging de-personalizes to appeal to a vast array of buyers. Staging is the #1 marketing tool when selling your home.
Will I have to remove all of my stuff?
We will often recommend that the amount of storage furniture be scaled back, closets and cupboards thinned out and de-cluttering to take place. Too much furniture and personal belongings gives the impression that the home does not have adequate storage.
What happens once my home sells?
As soon as your home sells firm, and all conditions are met, The Charmed Home will make arrangements with you, or realtor to de-stage your home. De-staging takes approximately 1-1.5 hrs. For inventory purposes we ask that you do not pack up any of The Charmed Home's items.

Deborah N., Keswick, ON
Thank you so much you guys for playing such a big part in the sale of our house in just 2 days. You guys are the best and you sure know how to make a house a charmed home !!!
Nicole Yule, Royal LePage Keswick, ON
The Charmed Home did a fabulous job staging a cottage listing I had recently. They made the existing wall colours work perfectly with the furnishings they brought in. It was empty, so they basically had carte Blanche to do as they pleased. When my client saw the place he even remarked at how great everything looked. I look forward to working with them again!

Jeni M., Kettleby, ON
This team ROCKS it!!!
We had a very unique log home to stage and sell. I wasn't sure if we were going to get a stage that was too modern or one that was too country..I would think the house could give anyone a challenge. These lovely ladies chose the perfect mix of both country and modern to knock it out of the park!
I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a efficient, well organized, creative, fun to work with team!
Thank you, once again!!!

Debbie and Jennifer took over our client staging requirements in 2016 and we couldn't be happier. They always up the staging game on every home they have staged for us. Each home has been staged in a very individualistic manner. They really pay attention to details and the staging always enhances and compliments the home.
Every home they have attended for us always feels just so much more warm and cozy, appealing to the eye.
They are the real deal. We frequently refer them to other realtors looking to take there clients homes to the next level.

I wanted to take the time to write this review because it's rare to find people that put their heart and soul into what they do! I hired The Charmed Home to stage a home I listed and I was blown away to observe their passion and desire to make sure they went above and beyond my expectations. I was very pleased with everything from start to finish and would highly recommend Debbie and Jennifer. On a side note, the property I am discussing above sold for much more than asking and I credit their efforts for such a success. Thanks again.
Christine F., Keswick, ON
After deciding to purchase a new home and making a firm offer, in the hope our current house would sell fast, we decided that we needed help getting our house in shape. After consulting with The Charmed Home, they helped us de-clutter, reorganize and simplify our house. They were quick, efficient and professional. They prepared our home for pictures and an open house and made it look fantastic! Our home sold quickly with lots of positive feedback from the viewers. I would highly recommend Debbie & Jennifer and their talent to stage your home!
Jackie K., Keswick, ON
I had contacted The Charmed Home to help with Christmas decorating/and seasonal curb appeal. They were friendly, easy to work with and prompt in replying to me. They gave me a few suggestions, used what I had on hand and added in their own unique touches. The results were beautiful, something that I had neither the time nor the energy to put together during the holiday season. Thank you to Deb and Jennifer for all your help!!
Elisabeth S., Georgina, ON - a grateful client
Getting a home ready to sell involves a certain amount of stress, but working with Jennifer and Debbie made the staging-to-sell phase a dream. These talented and hard-working women know what it takes to get a home market ready. The result was breathtaking - my home was more attractive than it had ever been and it sold for full price within the week. All this was achieved on a limited budget and in a tight time frame. Would I hire them again? Absolutely! Thank-you ladies, you made the whole process easy, and stress-free.
Suzanne T., Georgina, ON
I hired the ladies from Charmed Home to help me with an under-used room in my home. They helped me design the space, including picking the paint colours, choosing the right furniture for the area and the accents to tie it all together. It is now a bright cheery space with extra seating. The ladies also refinished some old, worn out furniture and made it fabulous and new again. I would highly recommend these ladies to design, declutter and spruce up your home. Thanks Debbie and Jennifer!
