December is Staging Month
December 1, 2010
January is always a great time to list a property!
December is the time to start the STAGING process!
I’m always surprised how busy I am in the month of December with Initial Consultations but it just makes so much sense if you want to be prepared and get a head start on all the other properties.
Things that can be done this month:
1. Fix-it jobs and minor repairs
2. Paint touch ups and a deep clean
3. Start to remove the clutter
4. Move furniture around
5. Take advantage of the Holiday Sales if any purchases are required (that is why I need to meet with your clients soon so they know what to buy)
If you have a client who is listing in January, let me start working with them now so that everyone is ready for the New Year. Our fees are increasing in January so you will also save $50 if I meet with your client in December.
Let me meet with your clients for the Initial Consultation so I can give them a ‘to-do’ list and a plan or even a paint colour if necessary. That way they can start crossing off their list during the holidays.
Extra Large Paint Chips Makes it Easy to Choose the Perfect Colour!
Then I’ll follow up with my second consultation to STAGE the house with the final details and you will have a picture perfect house ready to list by the time you’ve announced your New Year’s Resolutions!

Does Your Listing Need a Quick Face Lift to get it on the Market in a Hurry? Let Me Help.
Sellers often know they need to paint a neutral colour so they end up painting it completely white. Buyers don’t want to feel like they’re in a hospital! Neutral does not mean white. Or they just re-paint it the colour that is already there which might be very limiting to buyers. Neither choice makes sense.

Just Signed a Listing That Requires Help But Not a Full Staging?
As a professional Realtor you know how much easier it is to sell a house that has a fresh coat of paint. However, choosing the correct colour is extremely important. Sellers often know they need to paint a neutral colour so they end up painting it completely white. Buyers don’t want to feel like they’re in a hospital! Neutral does not mean white. Or they just re-paint it the colour that is already there which might be very limiting to buyers. Neither choice makes sense.
I have been staging houses in the Ottawa area for almost five years and I have the perfect formula for selling houses quickly and for top dollar.
100 oversized paint chips really help clients visualize their choice. Each Bristol board is one colour! There are certain colours that work best for the MLS pictures and appeal to the masses. This means more traffic from the MLS listings! Yes, I stick with the neutrals but then I put ‘Style’ and colour in a room through accessories. It’s never boring!
Looking for the Perfect House Warming Gift?
Show your clients how much you appreciate their business by giving them a two hour consultation with a home stylist. They will think of you every time they walk into their new home! Happy clients are repeat clients!

“Heather Maduk of Styled and Staged is always a part of my team when I list a house. Her enthusiasm is contagious, she is very knowledgeable about colours and her suggestions help the homeowner realize a higher sale price in a shorter time on the market. She is also very creative, often using the homeowners accessories but in a different place. I would not list a house without Heather!
