Since 2016, I’ve had the pleasure of staging in the Grey County and Southern Georgian Bay areas. It’s an amazing geographical region of Ontario offering a 4-season playground for those lucky enough to live here and for families from the Toronto area wanting to enjoy weekends away.
Staging is now recognized as a critical, necessary part of the real estate selling process.
Since I began offering my services, the staging industry has grown by leaps and bounds. Although a little slower to take hold in non-urban areas like ours, it has now nicely established itself as an essential real estate service and for all the right reasons.
Gone are the days when homes are considered ‘good enough’ to be listed as is. The game has changed. The market is more competitive and to remain current, Realtors® now understand they need to partner with a professional stager to assist their sellers with the critical, pre-listing process. Staging is a win for sellers, buyers and Realtors® and ranks as one of the most effective marketing tools when selling a property.
Many Realtors® in the Meaford, Thornbury and Collingwood areas were quick to adopt staging as a way to up the level of service they offered and differentiate themselves from the competition. Owen Sound, as the largest centre in Grey County, has now followed suit and I expect to see many more Realtors® integrate staging into their marketing plan in 2023.
On the move …
As the demand for staging continues to rise, I’m pleased to announce we are expanding our reach up into the Wiarton and Bruce Peninsula region as well. The Peninsula is another breathtaking region in our area, home to both full-time residents and cottagers. Using a central location for our storage means that we can continue to service our existing clients and also easily accommodate new ones into the Peninsula. The Cobble Beach area (north of Owen Sound) continues to expand with new housing development along with the picturesque Grey Road 1 area leading into Wiarton. I’ve been lucky to stage numerous homes (new and existing) along this route over the past few years and it never fails to deliver some amazing views.
Thank You …
Thank you to all of those who have partnered with me over the years … looking forward to more projects with you, some recently-acquired new Realtors® in the Wiarton area and, of course, new ones as well that we can now say ‘yes’ to servicing !!
