HOME STAGING
Research has shown that potential buyers make a decision within the first few seconds of walking through your front door. They will spend the rest of the tour confirming that decision whether it is favourable or not. Staging maximizes the impact of those critical first moments to ensure a quick sale.
Jms Home Staging and Design uses a proven set of guidelines, the house is reviewed for ultimate & maximized impact on buyers. Once the recommendations are implemented & completed the home is designated a Staged Home.
Ideally, the home should be staged prior to putting it on the market or having any marketing material created, the reason is simple. Most buyers preview homes online before ever seeing them in person A staged home photographs better than a non-staged home, making it more appealing for both print and internet marketing–enticing buyers to want to see the home in person.

INTERIOR DECORATING VS. HOME STAGING
Interior decorating is about identifying a home owner’s personal style and decorating a home with all of their preferences. Staging is not about judging your decorating ability, your taste or your furnishings. It’s about selling a product — your house — and helping buyers to realize its potential and having it appeal to as many buyers as possible. So home staging involves depersonalizing, de-cluttering, and making the décor in a home neutral but still welcoming, warm, and inspiring in order to appeal to a wide range of people viewing your home.
