Staging has become a common, if not integral, step in the home-selling process, especially as savvy HGTV-fed consumers continue to tune into programs like Designed to Sell, The Stagers and Get it Sold.
In the wake of the wave of historically low mortgage rates, many Canadians are eager to put their homes on the market. For home sellers, getting the best price for their home is a must, and home staging has become an incredibly popular way to do so.
