How Alberta's Top Real Estate Agents are achieving record sales even in today's Buyers market.
Oct 19, 2024
For young Canadian homeowners and aspiring property investors, selling a house can be a daunting process. Today’s competitive real estate market demands an edge, especially for first-time sellers who might not have the funds to invest in staging upfront.
This is where Livenormad steps in with its innovative 'Pay After Sale' service, which gives real estate agents a risk-free way to stage homes. By offering a unique model that defers staging costs until after a property sells, Livenormad not only enhances the visual appeal of listings but also makes it easier for sellers to close deals quickly. Here’s how this service is changing the game for real estate agents and homeowners alike.
Understanding the power of home staging
Home staging is no longer an optional step in real estate—it’s a must. According to the Real Estate Staging Association, staged homes sell up to 30% faster than non-staged properties and can fetch a 6-20% higher price.
Staging is all about creating a welcoming environment where potential buyers can envision themselves living. This is particularly important for young Canadians, who often value style and functionality, and may look for homes that reflect a modern, minimalist aesthetic.
However, the cost of staging can be a significant barrier. High-end home staging services can cost thousands of dollars upfront, making it inaccessible for many first-time sellers or those on a tight budget.
Livenormad’s 'Pay After Sale' service changes this by enabling real estate agents to stage homes without any upfront payment, using quality wall panels that transform spaces and add a touch of elegance.
How Livenormad's 'Pay After Sale' Service Works
Here’s how the 'Pay After Sale' process makes staging more accessible:
- Consultation and Planning: Livenormad collaborates with the real estate agent to assess the property and determine which wall panels would best enhance the space. The focus is on affordable yet stylish solutions like WPC decorative wall panels or UV marble sheets.
- Installation: The chosen panels are installed, with professional teams ensuring that the staging adds maximum appeal to the rooms. Common areas of focus include living rooms, dining areas, and master bedrooms, where visual impact can be most significant.
- Payment After Sale: The homeowner or agent pays for the staging services only once the property is sold. This means no upfront financial risk, allowing even young homeowners to benefit from professional staging.
By staging homes with Livenormad’s panels, sellers can present a polished look that makes a property stand out in the market, increasing the chances of a quick sale.
Why young homeowners should care about staging
For many young Canadian homeowners, their first house is a significant investment. As millennials and Gen Zs become dominant in the market, their preferences reshape real estate.
These buyers often seek move-in-ready homes with modern finishes. This trend presents a unique opportunity for sellers: a staged home with modern affordable luxury furniture or stylish wall panels is more likely to meet buyers’ expectations and stand out in a crowded market.
Livenormad's wall panels, such as affordable WPC wall paneling or high-quality marble sheet wall cladding, are designed to deliver that high-end look without the hefty price tag. These products appeal to young, design-conscious homeowners who appreciate aesthetics but also need to keep within a budget.
Real-World Transformations; A Success Story
A young couple was trying to sell their downtown Toronto condo. The space is a little outdated, with plain white walls that don’t offer much character.
By using Livenormad’s 'Pay After Sale' service to install WPC fluted interior wall panels in the living area and UV marble sheets in the bathroom, the condo is instantly transformed into a stylish and inviting space. Within just a few weeks, multiple offers come in, and the condo sells above the asking price.
Another example is a single homeowner in Calgary who needed to sell her suburban home quickly after relocating for work. Rather than leaving the home empty, she used Livenormad’s service to stage the living room with modern WPC wall panels that added warmth and texture to the space. The result? The home sold in less than a month, significantly reducing the stress and financial burden of carrying two mortgages.
The benefits go beyond Aesthetics
While the visual appeal of a staged home can’t be understated, there are practical benefits as well:
- Boost Perceived Value: Staging creates the perception of a higher-end property, allowing young sellers to ask for a higher price without significant upfront investment.
- Quick Turnaround: With faster sales, young homeowners can reduce the time their property sits on the market, minimizing ongoing expenses like mortgage payments and utilities.
- Sustainable Options: Livenormad’s panels, including eco-friendly WPC panels, appeal to the growing number of Canadians who value sustainability and are mindful of their environmental footprint.
