Cheryl-Anne Priest Inviting Spaces - Staging Calgary

HOME STAGER CALGARY - BEFORE AND AFTER

The Calgary housing market is thriving with competition and home staging is changing the way Real Estate is being sold. Once a homeowner decides to sell, the home then becomes a "product" and that product has inherent strengths and weaknesses as well as competition.

Home staging and showcasing by "is inviting spaces" provides sellers with the opportunity to "unlock a home's potential" giving them the edge needed to ensure that they obtain maximum profit in the shortest timeframe. "is inviting spaces" will set the stage to appeal to the greatest number of buyers possible by making the listing more marketable.

Occupied properties present a challenge as potential buyers want to see the property, not the stuff. Vacant properties present their own challenge as potential buyers are unable to emotionally connect. Home stagers from "is inviting spaces" transform properties into warm, inviting and defined spaces appealling to the emotions of potential buyers by creating strong and memorable feelings.

INVEST AND BENEFIT

HOME STAGING IS AN INVESTMENT

• the cost of which is less than a price reduction, and
• less than additional carrying costs (mortgage payment, taxes, utility payment, homeowner's insurance and maintenance) should a property remain on the market for an extended period of time.

Why let buyers undervalue your home? Why leave money on the table? Now that you have made that all important decision to sell, wouldn't you rather realize your equity in as short a time as possible?

What are people saying about "is inviting spaces"?

Thank you so very much! Just had to let you know how thrilled we were to arrive home and see the amazing job you did! We had no idea how much difference staging would truly make - it looks AWESOME!! We had so much to do those last few days and knowing we could leave the staging completely to you was a great relief.

Everything looks just perfect- you really have an eye for things and you picked up on all the best features of our house. Somehow your company name says it all - we went from just an empty space to a truly inviting space. The house now looks like a home!

Working with you was easy and the process was so smooth that we've already been recommending your services to our friends! Many, many thanks for an amazing job! C. & L. Allan - Calgary

We were glad to have Cheryl-Anne stage our house for sale. During a serious downturn in market activity, we were able to sell our house even in the weeks heading up to Christmas - a period when sales slow even more. We're sure that staging helped to differentiate our house and make it stand out from the rest. Cheryl-Anne did a great job staging using both her materials as well as items we already had. The end result: a house that looks as good as any model home on the market, and a solid sale. Thanks! J. & J. Oldfield - Calgary

We found Cheryl-Anne to be a very energetic enthusiastic professional home stager who we would absolutely recommend with no hesitation. We were totally 100% pleased with all of Cheryl's ideas and vision and how the whole house turned out. The service from Cheryl-Anne and time we spent with her was very positive and enjoyable and she was able to really help us when we were overwhelmed and exhausted with the whole house selling business. The end result was fantastic and everyone who went through the house was extremely impressed with it all. G.& L. Belcourt - Calgary

Thank you for an excellent job in staging this (Calgary) property....Until now I have not tried staging as a tool to help market a vacant home. The new home owner definitely said the staging helped in her decision making to purchase the home. As I do a lot of new home sales I won't hesitate to use your staging expertise in the future..thank you for all your help. Brent Hleucka, Realtor - Calgary

Cheryl Anne Priest understands the art of staging. After trying to sell my townhome in downtown Calgary for five months I turned to Cheryl for help. Once we agreed upon the plan and contract, Cheryl staged the townhome within a day. Within two weeks of staging, the townhome was sold. My only regret is that I did not use Cheryl's services earlier. Thank you. P. Pirbhai - Badbab Properties - Vancouver

In the summer of 2006 when I decided to sell my townhouse (Calgary) I used the services of Inviting Spaces" to help get my home ready for the sale. I was advised to de-clutter, depersonalize, do some painting, replace personal lighting, clean carpets and reorganize the furniture to make the home look its full size. Over all the few cosmetic changes made the home look much more presentable. The home was listed on a Friday and on Sunday we had an offer that was negotiated into a sale. The services of Cheryl-Anne Priest of Inviting Spaces helped me achieve the top dollar that I was wanting for my home and the time and money invested in the service was more than recovered in the selling price. When it is time to sell my current home I will not hesitate to use the services offered by Inviting Spaces to ensure that I sell my home for the best price possible. M. Seskus - Calgary

Vacant houses are really hard to sell and staging with Cheryl-Anne was a good experience and helped me to sell the apartment in a reasonable time and for good money. It definitely pays off and I highly recommend her services. Give it a try, not every client can see a house or apartment beyond the furniture. P. Valim - First Place Realty - Calgary

Thank you for all your help in staging our house. We could not have done as well on our own. We learned about decorating as well - a wonderful bonus. T. & L. Collins- Calgary

Fast and reliable service. Cheryl-Anne's services increased the number of my showings and it helped in the sale of my property. M. Boustani - Calgary

Thank you, I have been working on your suggestions. I will admit my husband and I, being conservative accountants, were not too sure about the matching hanger suggestion for the front hall closet. I found some nice wooden ones that were inexpensive so I decided to give it a go. We both admitted it really makes a difference. I am glad I had you in and I would like to have you back for the final touches once the moving company has been here and things have been cleared out. S. & N. Cable - Calgary

It was very interesting to hear what potential buyers would like to see and what they would rather not see. I also appreciate Cheryl's willingness to work with the furniture and accessories I already had. Her response was not "we'll need to do some shopping!" J. Johnstone - Calgary

I watched Cheryl-Anne in action. She walked into an empty house in the morning and hours later, she'd turned it into a comfortable, fun place - the kind of place people like to spend time in. S. Wingenbach - Calgary

A brief thank you for your willingness to allow me to work with you today. It was a thoroughly enjoyable and informative experience. I realize there are mounds of challenges before me however, working alongside of you was the window of opportunity I needed to give me confidence. I truly hope I was not more of a hindrance to you and I look forward to the pleasure of working alongside you again in the near future. Sara - Calgary

Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to work with you. I am still excited about what we did. You are obviously very good at what you do and I enjoyed learning from you. Call me anytime. B. Johnson - Calgary
