We Stage Vancouver Island Homes

At Chrysalis Creative Home Staging, we stage Vancouver Island homes. What does ‘staging’ actually mean? Well, to start, we are not decorators. We are Real Estate Marketing Professionals, plain and simple. We work with Real Estate professionals and home owners as part of a marketing team.

We strategically place colour, furnishings and artwork to make your listing photos ‘pop’, and we ensure your home is just as inviting in person. The key is to help prospective buyers immediately feel at home.

Our job is to help make your house appeal to the widest possible number of prospective buyers. Simply stated, we use proven design methods based on behavioural science to maximize a home’s value, keeping equity in the homeowner’s pocket . We will stage your Vancouver Island home to help you sell your home quickly and for more money. Check out our work for yourself!

Ellen brings a great work ethic and eye for creativity to the table when working with my clients, while staying within a very cost effective budget. I’m so impressed with her enthusiasm and love for creating an inviting environment that I know makes a positive impression on Buyers.

You only get one chance to make a first impression...

Pre-List Assessment Services

Chrysalis offers different levels of staging involvement to Vancouver Island home sellers and real estate agents:

Barriers to Sale Walk and Talk Assessment

• We use "buyers’ eyes" to take note of features to highlight and those that could be a barrier to sale.
• We walk through a property with the homeowner to discuss options for repairs and cost effective updates, ensuring they understand their options.
• Discuss optimal placement of furnishings, artwork and accessories and ensure home owner questions are answered and they have a plan to follow.
• Home Owners are left with a clear understanding of what work should be completed before any staging starts to maximize the selling price of their property.

Showcasing of Occupied Home

We work with homeowners own furnishings to maximize the appeal of their home.
• Homeowners may choose to add a customized package of carefully selected art and accessories
• Help the house shine in the most cost effective manner

Showcasing of Vacant Home

This is our specialty!
• We research the likely buyer for each property.
• We then create a customized and unique plan to ensure each vacant property we stage is appealing to the target demographic.
• We work with builders and home owners alike to create dream spaces potential buyers will fall in love with.

Two or Four Hour Photo Ready Service

We know it’s easy to ‘run out of steam’ when you’re readying a home for sale. We offer a couple of packages to help you through crunch time. If all you need is a little push to get you past the finish line for photos, we’re glad to come in the day before or the day of your photo appointment to make sure things look as good as they possibly can.
