Preparation
is the whole
strategy.
Portfolio photography is added as verified projects are released for publication.
Service overview
Staging is one part of preparing your property for the market
Every engagement is scoped around the property, timeline and marketing plan. The confirmed staging services are shown below; related preparation services are addressed further down the page.
- 01
Property assessment
A walkthrough of the property to identify what to keep, edit, refresh or replace before the listing launches.
- 02
Design direction
A written plan for each staged room — palette, furniture, art and accessory choices tailored to the target buyer.
- 03
Occupied-home styling
Working around the seller's existing furniture, editing what stays and adding accent pieces where they help.
- 04
Vacant-property staging
A full furniture and accessory install so buyers see the space furnished at market-appropriate scale.
- 05
Furniture and accessory installation
Delivery, placement and styling by the staging team on a scheduled install day.
- 06
Photography preparation
Coordinating with the listing photographer so the property is photo-ready when the shoot happens.
- 07
Removal after sale or agreed rental period
Furniture and accessory pickup at the end of the listing engagement or the agreed rental term.
Portfolio
Before & after — a selection of recent staging work
Selected projects are added as verified photography and permissions are confirmed. Every entry shows the property type, neighbourhood, whether the home was occupied or vacant and the scope of work.
Portfolio in preparation
We’re preparing a verified before-and-after gallery for publication
Rather than fill this section with stock imagery, we’re holding it for photography that has the seller’s permission, verified project details and a truthful scope of work. Selected projects will be published here as they clear review.
Occupied vs. vacant
Two different scopes, one preparation approach
The scope changes with the property. Occupied homes are usually styled around the seller’s pieces; vacant properties are staged with a full furniture package. Specific inclusions are confirmed on the consultation and listed in the listing agreement.
| Scope item | Occupied | Vacant |
|---|---|---|
Initial consultation | Included | Included |
Written design plan | Included | Included |
Editing existing furniture Vacant properties have no existing pieces to edit. | Included | Not typical |
Furniture rental Occupied homes may only need accent additions. | When appropriate | Included |
Art and accessories | When appropriate | Included |
Delivery and install | When appropriate | Included |
Photography preparation | Included | Included |
Removal at end of term | When appropriate | Included |

Case studies
Verified projects, honestly reported
Where a case study is published, the property details, scope of work and any pricing or timing figures shown are drawn directly from the listing record and the seller’s permission to share.
In preparation
Case studies are added once every figure can be substantiated
We’re holding this section for projects where the property record, the scope of preparation work and any listing or sale figures can all be shown transparently. New case studies will appear here as they clear review.
Where results are shown, the outcome reflects the full listing, pricing and marketing strategy and is not attributable to staging alone.
Professional portrait replaces this placeholder once the current listing photograph is confirmed for use here.

How do I book a consultation?
CondoWizard coordinates professional home staging for Toronto sellers as part of the listing preparation process. Every engagement includes a property assessment, a written design plan, and installation of furniture and accessories where the property benefits from them. Occupied homes are styled around the seller's existing pieces; vacant properties are staged with a full furniture package so buyers can read the scale of each room. Related listing preparation services — cleaning, painting, minor repairs, professional photography and floor plans — are coordinated on the seller's behalf, with scope and pricing confirmed in writing before work begins. The service is designed to sit inside a CondoWizard listing engagement so pricing, timing and marketing align.
