A vacant house in Guildford sat on the market for 60 days with no offers. The sellers brought in a stager, relisted, and had two offers within a week. Staging works because buyers need to see themselves living in a home — empty rooms feel smaller, and cluttered rooms feel chaotic.
AG. Song coordinates professional home staging for Surrey sellers as part of the selling process. Staging covers furniture placement, decor, lighting, and depersonalization. For a condo in Whalley, that might mean a compact dining setup. For a South Surrey detached home, it could mean a full furniture package for the main living areas.
Staged homes in Canada sell for 5-10% more than non-staged comparable properties, according to the Real Estate Staging Association. AG. Song works with local staging companies who know what Surrey buyers expect. Newton family homes get staged differently than Fleetwood townhomes.
Cost varies. A consultation and rearrangement of existing furniture costs $300-$500. A full vacant staging with rented furniture runs $2,000-$5,000 for the initial month. Combined with professional photography, staging makes your listing stand out. Call your Surrey REALTOR® AG. Song at (778) 952-9177.
