1st week of July 2024 – Sold for $61,000 Over the $415,000 Asking Price, With FOURTEEN OFFERS to the delight and amazement of the Home Owner, who credits our staging for this astounding selling outcome! The listing price was appropriate for the home based on the comparables in the area, but multiple buyers were willing to pay considerably more because of the way we staged this home to generate desire within potential buyers. See what this client said in her own words, in the review below the photos.
We are honoured to stage for some of the most prestigious names in the Winnipeg real estate market & the home building industry; our regular clients include one of the oldest and largest home building and development companies in western Canada, the builder of this recently staged spec home (June 2024). Why? Because they know that they sell faster and make more money when we stage their homes!
Spring 2024 – Staged & SOLD! in Fort Richmond
Portfolio Continues Below….
Luxury Custom New Build – Another FAST Sale (just over 30 days) in the Luxury $1 Million Market for yet ANOTHER one of our Luxury Home Builder Clients. “Chris, you were right about everything. The house looks SPECTACULAR. Thank you for your amazing work” – Andy (Luxury Home Builder)
St Boniface Condo Sold at an Unprecedented Price (in a Less Than Optimal Condo Market!) – August 2023: The realtor (one of our regulars) of this condo doubted it could sell for the price the seller wanted (almost $600,000 for a 2 bedroom unit – not a new building), so she called us in to try to stack the deck in the seller’s favour. We were very confident, based on our highly successful track record, that we could stage this to sell within a month, though the realtor remained highly skeptical due to the listing price…. It was sold in 30 days as a cash deal (no conditions) with a fast possession just 7 days later – the ideal sales outcome. Neighbours gave us very kind compliments on the staging when we returned to remove our inventory and expressed their astonishment at the price, which was unprecedented for the building and the area in general.

Successfully Sold During Market Slump at Beginning of Interest Rate Hikes – “ I was BLOWN away! The home showed incredibly well with their beautiful work & attention to detail. We had so many complements on the staging from various realtors and all of the feedback was overwhelming. The home SOLD quickly in this now more challenging 2023 market with an offer we couldn’t refuse. I couldn’t be more pleased with The Home Stylists! I’m happy to have found such a dedicated team which I’m excited to work with again in the future! Thank you Chris & Linda! ” ~ Stacey Ayotte, Client (See more of our reviews on Google)
Sold in 1 Hour! – July 2023 Mid-Century Style – “We had seen a home Chris and Linda had staged which was just stunning, so when we were preparing to sell our house we asked our realtor if he could track down who staged it. We were so excited when we were put in contact with Chris and Linda. It was important to us that the staging be true to the home’s mid-century era, and they knocked it out of the park. The attention to detail was well beyond our expectation. The use of colour was stunning (really made our listing photos pop on the MLS which our agent said is why we got such a high number of showings). The staging was AMAZING, amazing, AMAZING. We knew the staging would be good, but we didn’t expect it to be THIS good. The house sold in ONE HOUR. Unconditional, cash deal (half million dollar price range). Enough said. Thank you so much Chris and Linda, the Home Stylists! We are really happy and appreciative for all your help!” – Mike and Krista
Tuxedo Listed at $1.5 Million – “Everyone loves the staging; So many people are commenting on it! We love your furniture, really high end!” ~ Realtor
Luxury Builder’s Show Home: Summer 2023 – This luxury builder’s show home successfully enabled the builder to secure contracts with clients for several custom new-builds during the period of time it was staged and on the market during summer 2023.
$1.1 Million Dollar Luxury Show Home, East St.Paul (Repeat Client, Luxury Home Builder). Sold in 30 days – a fast sell rate for the million+ dollar price range!
Sold in 14 Days (Multiple Offers) After Staging and Re-Listing – September 2023 – This home was previously on the market un-staged for close to a full listing cycle before the seller withdrew it and brought us in to stage it. The vendor was so discouraged that they didn’t even get a “low-ball” in all the time it on the market before staging. As part of our staging recommendations, we suggested a couple of fast, easy and inexpensive cosmetic improvements we knew would improve the selling outcome, and they did exactly what we advised – THEN we staged this house to show it off to its full and highest potential. This house went from not even garnering a low ball offer in a couple of months on market during the peak season, to having TWO offers and a fast sale within 14 days of staging (a fast closing date was a bonus as well!). Previously the Realtor had told the seller they’d have to substantially drop their asking price to stand any chance of getting it sold, but instead the staging brought them two offers quickly, without any change to the original asking price.
Classic East St. Paul – The delightful owner of this home loved the way we transformed her vacant home – “This is CRAZY!” she told us when she saw her home after we staged it, “I LOVE, love, LOVE this!!!” Due to an unexpected change in personal circumstances the family chose not to proceed with putting their home on the market.
Million Dollar Listing ~Sold in ONE Day~ Tuxedo (Traditional Style) Summer 2023: We were brought in at the recommendation of one of our regular realtors to give this 1980s home in Tuxedo a more updated, on-trend vibe through our strategic staging. The realtor advised his client that without our involvement it would be a challenge to hit the million dollar mark on this occupied home with its very traditional feel which may not appeal to today’s young, high income professional. We knew precisely how to marry modern with traditional to amp up excitement for the target buyer. We directed the homeowner to remove certain pieces, while working with as much as what we could as possible; then we did some strategic rearranging and styling.. and very importantly, we brought in some strategically chosen pieces of modern furniture from our inventory, along with some amazing high-end modern art to make a statement. This ‘hybrid’ style of staging requires a specialized skill set, so not all stagers do it, but we thrive on the challenge! Selling any home in the million dollar price range rarely happens in just one day, especially when a bit dated or quite traditional – but through skilful and strategic staging, we hit a home run!
July 2023 – Condo Sold in 10 Days in a Complex Where the Average Selling Time is Over 40 Days
Via Google Review: “I knew going in that selling my condo in this economy was going to be a” hard sell (pun intended) however I’m convinced that, in large part, my success was due to using The Home Stylists, a company recommended to me by my realtor. The team there was incredibly efficient, an absolute dream to work with and very reasonably priced. My condo sold within 10 days of being on the market – the average in my condo complex is nomally over 40 days. Totally recommend!” – Sylvie Laurencelle, Ft Richmond (See more of our reviews on Google)

The seller is a repeat client of ours – she calls us in every time she is selling a property because she knows the difference OUR staging makes when it comes to pulling the maximum amount of equity out of her properties by increasing the perceived value and appeal, selling faster, and at the highest possible price .
“You were recommended to me by another realtor who I highly respect and she said you’re the only home staging company she uses. She told me you always do amazing work. Chris, I really like your staging. I can see how your staging is different from other staging companies. The house looks so beautiful now that it is staged, thank you so much. – Nehdi Sharma, Realtor

March 2021 – After this newly developed basement unit in an apartment building sat vacant for an extended period time despite many viewings, we were brought in to stage it – and it was rented in under a week to the 2nd party who viewed it. “The staging looked great. Better staging than any of the other stagers we’ve worked with in the past”, said the company’s Marketing Director who has since become a very frequent client.
November 2021 – Before we were brought in to stage it, this condo sat unsold through an entire listing cycle – the client had ignored the agents advice to have us stage it before it went on the market. When re-listing, the agent insisted the seller have us stage it, knowing from experience that our staging would get it sold. We staged it and it sold in under 30 days, right before the holiday season!

July 2021 – This high-rise apartment building was struggling with a high vacancy rate UNTIL we were brought in to stage a display suite, at which point everything turned around.

May 2021 – Tough Condo Market? Not When *We* Stage Them! SOLD in Under 30 Days! (Fort Richmond Condo)
November 2021 – Sold in a Day for $30,000 over the $250,000 Ask Price, With Multiple Offers

He knows from experience in working with us that with our staging, his homes will always sell for much higher prices. This property did not even have an eating area (which would typically be a problem), yet still sold with multiple offers well above asking price with our strategic staging.
April 2021 – We staged this condo and it sold in just 3 weeks, while an identical condo unit one door over (staged by another stager) had been sitting on the market for a month before this one, and remained unsold for another 2 months after this one sold. The take away: All staging is not created equal. We deliver powerfully effective staging that gets RESULTS.
January 2022 – Sold on the 2nd Showing! Tough Condo Market? Not When We Stage Them!
Luxury Level Condo Staging – January 2021 Grovsenor Condo – Staged & Sold in 2 Days, Three Offers, $10,000 Above Ask – In a Tough Condo Market, With *No* Offers Date!
Sage Creek – June 2022 – Sold on Offers Day! Read the backstory…! This home was another interesting case study demonstrating the difference that the *right* staging will make. An identical home went on the market at the same time, at the same listing price ($699,900), staged by a different stager. Suddenly we had a very direct side by side comparison of two stagers dealing with an identical home at the exact same time. The floorplan had some peculiarities, but we came up with a solution which made it seem highly desirable. The other staging company took a very different approach. The home we staged sold on offers day at a price the home owners were elated with. The other home, staged by the other staging company, did not sell. Even after several price drops totalling $60,000, it sat unsold almost until the listing expired, at which point the vendors accepted a “low-ball” offer. The take away: All staging is not created equal. Interestingly, the Realtor for the home we staged thought the staging looked so good, he decided that it didn’t need professional photography, and he took the photos with his cell phone. For the record, this is not something we ever recommend -especially when the home has been staged to look like it came from the pages of a magazine! The photos looked dark, the camera angles were not great – we nearly cried because professional staging deserves professional photography! We always advise professional photography – *especially* when the home has been staged, it is an absolute MUST. Yet even without it, this home FLEW off the market on offers date. For highly effective home staging that gets RESULTS, call us!
July 2021 – Sold on Offers Day $30,000 Above Asking Price With Multiple offers. “We have recommended you to our friends who are selling their home soon, and they said they’ll be engaging you to stage their house – you DESERVE it!” – Client

“The Cabin House”, June 2021 – “You worked your magic! The house sold in one day!” – Client
Historic St.Boniface Character Home – June 2020 – Sold on offers day with multiple offers, above the $500,000 Listing Price – (Fun Fact: Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson was an overnight guest in this home several times while in office). The home looked dated but the seller wanted to avoid doing any renovations, so the agent advised removing all contents from the home and brought us in to stage! We were able to create a much more modern and beautiful feel simply through the right choice of furnishings and accessories (and we updated a few light fixtures). Both agent and home owner were wowed by the transformation, and the home sold on day one! The client was so pleased, she had us handle the interior design on her new home.
Architecturally Designed Modern-Industrial Luxury Home – The Back Story: After several previous attempts by the owner to sell this home for an entire year, we were called in by the agents to stage it – and it sold in under 60 days! Priced at a half million dollars, but located in an area where house prices cap out at under $200,000, it was a challenge – but… we have a strong track record of overcoming challenges. This iconic, “landmark” (well-recognized) home had previously been staged by another stager, but with no results. However, the moment we stepped into this fabulous home, we could see exactly what it needed to help buyers connect with it. *Well executed* staging is about ~*marketing*~ first and foremost. When done well, staging involves far more than furnishing or decorating. Using our 20 year background in marketing and our training in behaviuoral science, we developed a highly strategic staging plan… and the results speak for themselves – SOLD in less than 60 days after we staged it – despite languishing on the market un-sold for an entire year before we were called in.
July 2021 – “Wow, the staging looks fantastic! Thank you so much!” – Realtor (Client)
Silver Heights Luxury Rental (Duplex Suite)- Rented Within a Week – For 20% Higher than Comparable Rental Units in the Area
July 2021 – This townhouse was pretty rough around the edges but the owner had no time to do any fixes. The agent (one of our regulars) strongly urged him to have us stage it, and it paid off big time! We took it from “owe” to “Wow!” through effective staging – and it sold for $52,000 above the $199,00 asking price, setting an unprecedented record for townhouses in this large complex. Other units in better shape, priced for less, languished on the market before and after this one came and went! That’s the type of magic we work!

June 2021 – This property was a lot of fun to stage, because we love a good challenge! We were brought in at the agent’s recommendation – he works with us frequently and knew we have what it takes to transform a property. This early 1950s home was in its original (“vintage”) condition – it was like traveling back in time. We wanted to make it look as modern as possible, or add “cool factor” to the retro/vintage vibe. The owners were wowed by the “total transformation”, and the property sold for $50,000 above list price.
September 2020 – Ritchot Mb – The Staging Got it SOLD! This home sat on the market without staging for nearly 3 months before the agent could persuade the seller to have us stage it.
