Larger spaces like houses are harder to define, but they\u2019re that much more imperative.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cPeople are very visual creatures and by staging a room in its best light it defines that room\u2019s purpose,\u201d said Messecar. \u201cThe living room is where people tend to congregate, so it\u2019s about staging it so that it fits the home without cluttering it. You want to make sure that the furniture you\u2019re placing in there highlights that room and doesn\u2019t take away from anything. If the show piece is the fireplace, you want to cater around that focal point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A common mistake that people make during the staging process is bringing in more furniture. Messecar recommends rearranging furniture instead.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cA lot of times, there are lots of pieces in people\u2019s houses you can work with, but they\u2019re not being utilized properly,\u201d he said. \u201cAs an example, someone may have a grand sectional couch in the living that might be comfortable, but it doesn\u2019t work in that room, so we\u2019ll take something like that out of the living room and put it in the basement rec room. We\u2019re taking things away, but also using what homeowners have in different ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Proportion is what stages bedrooms best, according to Messecar. King size beds don\u2019t belong in small rooms and twin bed should never be in master bedrooms. \u201cA lot of \u2018depersonalization\u2019 is also important in bedrooms, like removing family photos. Linens usually need to be changed, and they should match tiles and toiletries in the bathroom. We\u2019ll add accessory pillows and toiletries are usually brought in as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Staging a condo is vastly different than staging a house, says Ferro Payman, a sales agent with REMAX Infinite. He says natural light and functionality are the most important considerations to make when staging smaller homes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cLayout in a condo is the most important thing when you\u2019re looking at it from a buyer\u2019s perspective,\u201d he said. \u201cFrom a seller\u2019s perspective, you have to make it look functional. You have to make sure the sizes of the rooms are right and sometimes, especially with condos, the layouts are so weird that it\u2019s hard for you to put the furniture where you\u2019re hoping to put it, so it\u2019s important to get the right kind of furniture for that particular layout.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadianrealestatemagazine.ca\/news\/heres-how-to-maximize-a-showings-potential-236678.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Here&#8217;s How to Maximize A Showing&#8217;s Potential<\/a> by Neil Sharma | Canadian Real Estate Wealth<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arguably the most integral facet of selling a home is showing it to interested buyers, but not everybody realizes how much attention to detail is actually required.
