The consultation is designed to give you a clear path to showcase your home effectively, highlight its best features and minimize its flaws, using what you have whenever possible. It also gives you an action plan for how to achieve it. The consultation takes on average 2 hours and at the end, you receive a detailed report with room-by-room checklists that covers all aspects of staging your home for a successful sale: defining rooms’ functions, creating focal points, cleaning and repairs lists, recommendations on lighting, artwork, accessories, and much more.

E-consultation

$250.00

Unique times call for unique ways of selling homes.I started providing virtual e-consultations to help home sellers in my area who needed to prepare their properties for sale during the time of social distancing and those in remote and rural areas. After they been proven to be very effective, I offer this service anywhere in Canada.

We meet on ZOOM after you upload the photos of your property to the Dropbox folder I provide. The meeting will be recorded for you to refer to as you go along. I will support you every step of the way after the consultation. When needed we will also do a virtual “walkthrough” in the house using FaceTime or Skype. You will be fully equipped to prepare your property for sale.

Occupied Homes Staging

starting from $750.00

Also known as redesign, occupied homes staging primarily makes use of your own best furnishings, artwork, and accessories. But showcasing your home to create the best first impressions may also require adding furniture or elements of decor. Redesigning your space may include reconfiguring room layouts to maximize space and flow, and shifting focal points to draw attention to your home’s most appealing features.
Taxes are extra.Does not include deliveries and rentals, when applicable.
We prepare the occupied properties for sale taking into consideration that the homeowners must be able to function normally during this period of transition and ensure your property looks its best. We also equip you with specific recommendations and reminders for showings and open houses so that potential buyers are encouraged to envision themselves in their new space. This service always starts with the Home Staging Solutions Consultation which is included in the price.

Vacant Homes Staging

starting from $1200.00

No surprise – vacant staging is defined as preparing an unoccupied property for sale. What you may not know is that most buyers struggle with using their own imagination when they see an empty room. They find it difficult to judge the size of a room, where to place their furniture, and how to optimize the flow of a space. Most importantly, empty spaces do not create any feelings, so it is difficult for buyers to make an emotional connection to your home. Professional staging is the secret to help buyers see themselves living in their new home happily ever after. We will provide designer furniture, original art, and beautiful accessories to give your vacant space the wow factor it needs to sell quickly. This service always starts with a free site visit, in-person or virtual, and an estimate to fit your budget.

Virtual Staging

Virtual Staging is an alternative to physical real-life home staging service. It is done digitally by using special virtual staging software. Virtual staging cannot be compared to real-life staging results because it can’t create the same feelings and emotions. However, it does have its positioning in the world of real estate today. As our challenges with the COVID-19 pandemic started to develop, many realtors and sellers realized that virtual alternatives to open houses and showings are necessary to continue selling and buying homes.
Taxes are extra.Does not include deliveries and rentals, when applicable.
It may not be safe to walk into a house during the time of social distancing but using video conferencing and virtual walk-throughs tools help buyers see how the property looks and imagine themselves living in it. And even though virtual staging can’t create real feelings, it still can show the function and the scale of every room. And it is very important.This service is also helpful for the properties located in rural and remote areas where home staging inventory is not available to rent. And it could be a good alternative for the sellers who do not have a budget for physical staging.
This service is only offered for vacant properties. I do not believe that digitally removing existing items from the photos and replacing them with digital alternatives is a proper way to a successful presentation. The best way to do it is through a staging consultation where I provide the recommendations on how to work with and make the best of what the sellers have.

Colour Consultation

Starting at $295

Have you ever struggled to choose the right colours for your home and picked them by cute names? Or used a colour you saw in a friend’s house or a magazine, only to find out that you hate it in your home? Just like with colour in fashion, it’s important to understand how colours work in certain rooms, with different lighting, how they can transform the room, hide imperfections and emphasize the best features.  At First Sight will provide help to find inspiration, and choose the perfect colours for your home and lifestyle you will be happy to live with for years to come.

Whatever the case may be, At First Sight will help you redecorate and refresh your home, on your budget, for your lifestyle.
