But let’s address the elephant in the room:

We get it—“sold over asking” is a phrase that gets thrown around a lot, and it can feel like marketing fluff.

But here’s the reality: pricing a home strategically is the difference between meeting your goals or falling short.
 

  • Starting with a smart, competitive price is like laying a solid foundation. It draws attention from the right people and creates energy in the market.
     

  • From there, how the home is presented—through staging, paint, and thoughtful updates—makes a huge difference.


The goal? To connect with potential buyers and make them feel that this home could be their next chapter.

Yes, the home in the article sold over asking. But more importantly, it sold beautifully.

The buyers fell in love with it—thanks in part to the meticulous prep and design choices we put into every home we list.

At the end of the day, buyers are willing to pay what they think a home is worth.

For this property, it wasn’t just about the house, it was about the lifestyle it offered.

When buyers see a home that checks all their boxes—emotionally and practically—they’re ready to act.

For many, it’s not just about price; it’s about living exactly where they want, while they can.

So if you're thinking about selling now or even a year from now, you might be wondering:

Do these little updates even matter?
Won’t my home sell anyway?


Here’s the truth: small changes, like a fresh coat of neutral paint, have a HUGE impact.

They can absolutely change the way your home is perceived.

How would you react to a space that feels bright, open, and full of possibility?

Buyers are no different—they’re instinctively drawn to homes that feel welcoming and ready for their next chapter.

That’s why after our first meeting, we always follow up with a staging consult.

Our stagers are pros at figuring out exactly what needs a refresh, whether it’s a little or a lot.

They’ll tell you what to paint (and what colour), and even recommend new light fixtures, complete with links to make it easy.

And yes, we include this in our services because we know how much of a difference it makes!
