a neutral-coloured, non-personal, visually-appealing space is always key. I endeavour to approach each project in a professional, thorough and respectful way for all involved, including the seller and agent. This includes ensuring that everyone is aware of the process, timelines and end goals. I recognized early on, mostly with occupied staging, that the process can be very difficult for some sellers – respecting that and learning how to work with them is critical to the project’s success.” “My goal with any staging project is to showcase the property’s rooms to their fullest potential keeping in mind function, flow and focal point.” While Flair Style Co. often works closely with homeowners who have decided to independently list their home, the majority of Julie’s staging work comes from hard-earned business partnerships with local real estate agents. In the spring of this year, Julie secured her place as the team stager for the Kearns Paara Group of Royal LePage-Loca- tions North in Thornbury. “They are usually the first point of contact with the seller,” she said. “They obtain the listing and they have the initial discussion regarding the benefits of staging. After that, they refer me to the seller so that I can schedule an onsite consultation to begin the process.”
