Kent had spent the day waling through his house with her newly appointed realtor and discussing all of the ways that he could make his house a top contender in the market. She called it staging his house for sale, and he called it lets get this house sold. His realtor gave him some great ideas about clearing out the storage areas so they appear larger, making the garage clear so that potential buyers see how much space there is, and arranging the furniture in the rooms to be an easy flowing space and appear larger.
Kent decided that the only way he was going to be able to stage his house was to enlist the help of some outside resources. Those resources being his sister to help him arrange the furniture and make it look less like a bachelor’s house, and also the help of a Scarborough, Ontario self storage facility that was nearby. The self storage unit was going to hold all of those items that he had stored in the attic and the garage so that potential buyers did not just see his clutter, and also any furniture that was not needed in the rooms.
Kent started the staging process clearing out the stuff that he had boxed up in the storage spaces around his house and those were the first things that were moved into Scarborough self storage. The spaces all got a thorough cleaning, and next it was going to be staging each room.
His sister was helping him box up the unnecessary stuff in the rooms, and helping him to arrange the furniture in a way to help him maximize the space and show off each room to the best of their ability. Kent was actually surprised when everything was moved out of the house and into the Scarborough self storage location how big each room appeared, and how his house no longer looked like his bachelor pad.
That weekend his realtor came by and she was very impressed with how the staging of his house had progressed. They had an open house set up and she was as hopeful as he was that they would find a great potential buyer quickly.
Thanks to the great staging and the help of the Scarborough self storage unit and the help of his fantastic realtor Kent got two different offers that weekend and was able to get his asking price met. It was the perfect end to his house selling stage with the added bonus of some of his stuff already being packed be already had a head start on that process.
Since he already had the Scarborough storage unit he began to pack more and more boxes and place them in storage so that he could get everything packed and give the house one final cleaning before he turned it over to its new owners. It had been a great first house for him and he hoped that the next owners loved it as much as he had. For Kent however it was on to bigger and better things and he was excited about the next phase of life that was on the horizon for him. He would miss his first house, but it was time to give someone else the chance to grow there as he had.
