info_outline#024 RSIRE Farah Dhalla Shares How Staging Makes a Difference in Home Sales
Have you been to an open house or a house viewing and were wowed by how neat, tidy and organized the house was? Chances are it was professionally staged. We all get busy day to day and leave our homes a bit unorganized, but that can be a deal killer when you’re trying to sell your home. Many people can’t see past the clutter, or they notice your throw pillows are a bit worn, or perhaps the entrance needs a new coat of paint. A professional stager will notice all those details and help you deal with them before showings so you MAXIMIZE your offers.
Farah Dhalla-Singh is a natural designer. After staging and selling her first home she knew she had a knack for decorating homes to sell for the highest possible value. She received such great feedback from her first ‘project’ that she was asked by family and friends to do the same for them. Each project lead to another as all the homes she staged sold either very quickly or quickly AND over asking. She recalls staging one home that received 22 offers and sold for $100,000 over asking! Now, more and more people are using Farah with A Lady’s Touch to stage their homes.
A Lady’s Touch is in the business of creating higher value spaces. We specialize in unlocking the potential in your property through our spectacular property styling and turn-key furniture packages.
