Have I mentioned lately how important it is to stage your home before it goes on the market? This condo that we recently staged in Edmonton is a perfect example of the impact staging can make on a home. And guess what? This one sold in under a month during a time when the market for condos had been slow.

It’s time for another full transformation! This was one of my own projects - an investment I took on with my friend Edward last year in the Edmonton neighbourhood of West Jasper Place. This condo had great bones and a lovely layout (there really is something to be said about a boring rectangle for space planning purposes). The purchase was quite stressful (multiple offer situation and then an issue with the accuracy of the listing), but it was meant to be and we’re both so happy with what we created!

I have this thing for homes with internal courtyards. So when I got the call to come and see this new build in the Laurier / Valleyview neighbourhood of Edmonton, I was super excited!

This is a truly special home. Not only is it an amazing location in the city but the energy of this space is beautiful. So much natural light, an overall zen feel and unique features!

Staging for this home was almost more important because it is a unique home. It becomes a bit more difficult for buyers to make sense of a home that isn’t a traditional layout if they can’t see it in action.

I truly believe that this one, small, relatively inexpensive action sets the tone for your landlord-tenant relationship.
