Debra Gould stages Toronto homes when she isn’t training new Staging Diva Professionals
Home Staging expert Debra Gould, The Staging Diva® has decorated hundreds of Toronto area homes to sell in the $290,000 to $1.7 million price range. Frequently profiled in major media like CNNMoney, The Wall Street Journal, National Post, MoneySense and The Globe & Mail for her expertise as a professional home stager, Debra also provides real estate advice based on staging over $100 million worth of homes to sell plus the fact that she has bought and sold 7 of her own homes. Perhaps it’s my MBA training,” says Debra, “but I take a very bottom line orientation to decorating a home to sell. I’m always looking at my client’s potential return on investment (ROI).” Her recommendations are based on careful consideration of:
- the client’s budget
- time available until the house hits the market
- price point of the home
- target market for the home
For some clients she may source rental furniture and accessories to get just the right look. She can even arrange painting and repairs or shop for flowers on the day of the agent’s open house. For other clients she will stage the home using only what the client already has. The first step is a consultation in your home during which Debra makes specific recommendations for your unique situation and begins to transform some of your rooms as you walk through them together. After 2 to 3 hours, you’ll know exactly what else needs to be done to decorate your home to sell for top dollar. At that point you can decide how much of the work you want her team to do and how much you’d like to do on your own. It’s entirely up to you! Learn more about Debra’s approach to home staging. After all she’s trained over 850 Staging Diva students to do the same!

Six Elements Staging Success Stories
The agent was going to list the home for $749,900.

The home sold in the first week for $820,000. Over $65,000 return on a $5,000 investment in days! Another home was listed for 3 months and the best offer was $350,000. The home seller hired Debra for a 2 hour consultation, during which she moved furniture and accessories, identified items for off site storage and suggested new bedding for the master bedroom. Once the changes were complete, the home sold within days for $361,000. An $11,000 return on a $600 investment! Another client’s home was listed for $949,900 and had no offers after 6 weeks. The agent wanted to reduce the selling price by $50,000. Instead, the client hired Debra for 8 hours, during which she moved furniture and art, and purchased new bedding for two rooms. The owner received three offers within the week and sold for 98% of the original asking price. Over $30,000 profit on a $1600 investment.

This master bedroom was in desperate need of a new wall color, proper bedding and accessories. Like many busy working couples, the homeowners never got around to purchasing proper bedding, lamps or night stands. Everything purchased by Debra Gould for this project will be used by the owners in their new home.
