Live in the country? ... all the more reason to stage.

Hello again,

Living in the country about 40 or so minutes from Montreal has it's benefits. For the most obvious reasons; larger properties (farmettes), lower taxes, closer bond with neighbors and of course a lifestyle. It has been a great place to raise our children without the worries of city living. Now in their late teens my children would say they had an amazing childhood filled with adventure but living in the" Mook Mook" as they call it now has it's down falls. I am certain in a few more years they will once again come to appreciate the country life ... with having had time to experience the city nightlife and all the treasures in this great city of ours.

Many families choose to move back to the sub-burbs or to the city to avoid having their children traveling long distances to colleges and universities ... not us ... but this got me to thinking about property pricing and staging for homes in the country. All property owners, regardless if they are in the heart of the city, the sub burbs or in the country deserve to make the most of their asset (their home) when it comes time to sell. No matter where you are located and perhaps because of where you are located all the more reason to hire a stager. A home located about 5 minutes from mine took 3 years to sell! Maybe they were over priced to start and becasue of it had fewer potential buyers view the home...I say all the more reason to stage it !

They say it only takes one "the right one" to fall in love with your home...but if fewer people are looking to live in the country and only a handful of those view your home ....YOU BETTER MAKE A GREATEST FIRST IMPRESSION because you never know when the next one will come along!
