About Chrysalis Creative Home Staging Inc.
Having your home professionally staged before selling can give you a return on investment of up to $5 for every dollar spent! Staging works!
Chrysalis Creative Home Staging Inc. Description
- Staged Properties typically sell for More Money
U. S. Housing and Urban Development reports that staged homes sell an average of 17% more than homes not staged.
- Staged Homes sell faster.
MSNBC reported un-staged homes listed for sale spent an average 4. 5 months on the market, while at the same time homes staged before listing spent fewer than 1. 5 months on the market.
- While there is an investment made in home staging, there’s a great opportunity for return on the money invested. A recent HomeGain Survey of over 2000 Realtors discovered that sellers who used staging services, recovered up to 500% of the cost upon sale of their homes.
- Most Homeowners can’t see their house objectively. A staging professional can effectively position a home, or give a detailed, step by step 'Staging Plan’, for the the work to be done.
*HGTV recommends staging. In a recent HGTV program called “The 25 biggest Real Estate mistakes”, not staging a home was ranked #1.
- Fewer than 10% of home buyers can see a home’s potential. Especially in a vacant home, where staging is critical. Did you know most buyers estimate an empty home is10% smaller than it actually is? Staging can bring out a home’s potential.
- The longer a home stays on the market the lower the selling price will be. Staging means a faster sale, at a higher price, by adding perceived value.
- Selling a House ‘as is' helps sell its competition. Pretty sells. A properly staged home will meet or exceed buyers’ expectations when they walk through the door.

Working with Ellen was a dream. From the get go she provided so much knowledge and expertise and amazing tips that I truly believe helped with selling our home in less than 2 days, with 18+ showings, multiple offers and over asking price!! It really was the best outcome we could have we got and she played a huge hand in that. She was so easy to work with and I was able to connect with her right away; sending her pictures and getting her advice on what would work and not work. I would so recommend her services because she truly was amazing!! Thank you Ellen!
When I was about to sell my rental property, I knew that I needed to do certain upgrades to get the most out of the property. My realtor put me in touch with Ellen. Her staging process proved invaluable in selling my property quickly and at the right price. Not only did Ellen bring in the right furniture and accessories to complement the house, she provided useful suggestions in what would provide the best bang for the buck in upgrades. Apart from this, her extensive list of contacts helped get the various work completed on time and within budget. The end product was a fabulous transformation and brought in offers within the first week of being on the market.
I will certainly hire Ellen again when it is time to sell my next home!
We would never recommend any other company! They are truly the best stager in Calgary and we wish we could take them with us to set up our next home in another country! Thank you, so very much, Ellen and team!!
We were fortunate enough to connect with Ellen via our realtor. We were blown away by how quickly she response to us and try to fit us into her already tight working schedule. She showed up at our house the next day after we contacted her. We really liked her professionalism and the most important fact that she tried to teach/share with us on everything she knows about staging. She holds anything back on sharing her knowledge. We literally started taking detail notes and we truly feel the knowledge and insights provided by her will travel with us wherever we go next. Lastly the place/stores she recommended us to get home improvements are the most reasonable and easy to find places, not some high end furniture sites or art work shops. We deeply feel she is looking after our interests and trying very hard to create the max value with the most reasonable price for us. Thank you Ellen and really appreciated your time and help to us! We can't thank enough for what you have done for us.
We have worked with Ellen in the marketing of a few listings that my husband has had. We have found her to be very professional, thoughtful and very knowledgeable in her business. In every case our clients enjoyed working with her and the ones that took her advice were able to sell their homes rather quickly after implementing her suggestions. I highly recommend her and we will continue to hire her every chance we get!
We had Ellen come over to our home for a staging consultation. She will be staging our home if / when we list it to sell. At the consultation, Ellen answered all our questions very patiently and thoroughly. She provided sound reasons for the changes she suggested - which were not unreasonable at all in order for us to get top dollar for our property. She provided suggestions as to where the products we needed to buy could be purchased inexpensively. We appreciated that Ellen understands the selling and staging process thoroughly, not only as a seasoned staging professional, but also from the seller's point of view, as she has sold her own properties and had to go through the staging process. She was generous with sharing her contacts in the real estate industry as well as her contacts on the renovation side. We would highly recommend Ellen for your staging needs.
We had Ellen come and stage our house to sell. She was very honest and understanding. Started with a walk through and a list of advice. We did nearly everything she suggested. With two little kids and a dog, keeping a place "show ready" isn't always easy, but she worked with us to make it possible!
We had 13 showings in 24 hours. Our house had TWO offers OVER LIST in 36 hours. Conditional sale in 48 hours.
We can't thank Ellen enough for making our house look amazing. I attribute our quick sale to all her suggestions and hard work.
This post goes out to our amazing and talented stager Ellen. If it wasn't for her and our equally talented realtor I firmly believe our lake home would stlll be on the market. Because of Ellen's creative staging techniques, our lakeview home sold in just 6 days of it being listed. We were completely blown away and the buyers want to keep some of her furniture as well. Just incredible. I can't wait to consult Ellen on future projects as well. Thank you so much Ellen for being on top of everything and bringing our vision to life. You're amazing!
I recommended Ellen from Chrysalis Creative Home Staging to my clients and they were not disappointed! Ellen has a great eye for design. She used furniture and artwork to bring out the best features of the house.
During my open house, the biggest feedback I got from other potential buyers was how nice the house was staged.
I would highly recommend Chrysalis Creative Home Staging.
I love what you are doing and I will be following your Great Ideas with interest. We once were told by Rural Realtors, that Home Staging doesn't work in Rural Areas, but we have been
appaled at the Lazyness of some of these so called Professionals! (We have even seen pictures of houses with poo, in the toilet! Underwear on the bed, etc.) We just shake our head, but we are Buying and fixing up Ugly houses, cheap like Borscht and with some of your fine ideas, their is money to be made! Thanks again Ian and Doreen and Great marketing Campaign! A "Rare Hidden Gem!"
I have enlisted the services of Ellen Mann – Chrysalis Creative Home Staging Inc. several times this year and have been exceptionally happy with the level of excellence she provides.
Her home staging has helped me sell my homes faster and achieve a higher sale price for my clients.
I started working with Ellen in January 2017, Ellen takes pride in her work and this clearly shows in the results I have achieved in my sales this year.
I highly recommend her services and will continue to enlist her support as I move in to the New Year.
I found Ellen an absolute joy to deal with! She's very easy and open to discuss ideas and options to make it work in the easiest most cost effective way. Her advice/help absolutely made a positive impact in our home and we were able to sell in about half of what the average days on market were for our area (and we were competing with new builds a block away).
Thanks for all your help Ellen!!
I connected with Ellen from another Realtor in my REMAX office after I had trouble selling a property. He spoke extremely highly of her and mentioned that his listings sell after using her services. Clearly that sparked my interest and after consulting with three professional stagers, I chose to with Ellen based on her pricing, value added service and prompt communication; all of which are very important to me in choosing a vendor. After the home was staged, to mine and the seller's satisfaction, we got the home sold in less than two weeks. The results speak for themselves and I am now a true believer of staging a property to get a higher price and quicker sale....thanks Ellen, very impressed =).
I can't say enough about Chrysalis Creative Home Staging and why you will be so happy you hire them! Ellen is the epitome of professionalism creativity and a calm presence in the chaos that comes with deciding to sell a home. Her suggestions are based on marketing. Not decorating. So once you realize the vantage point from which prospective buyers look at your home, you can take her guidance and run with it. Whether it's the shopping g suggestion to find the perfect "something" or suggestions on how to incorporate your gems, Ellen is on point. She reinforces that you don't have to spend a lot of money to make your house look like you did. Call her!!!!
From the moment I met Ellen I knew that she was someone I could work with. Professional, personable, with a great eye, she was able to identify simple, highly impactful ways to improve our home. She took a very complex space and recommended furnishings that she was able to provide with 48 hour turn around. Not only did she transform our home into a showpiece, her calm demeanour helped put me at ease when I was dealing with what felt like a daunting task. I can't recommend Ellen more highly!!
Ellen was great to work with. We were listing our house for sale. Ellen came in two days before it was going to hit the market. Ellen was thorough, and she explained the reasons for why she suggested what she did. She took the time to show me how to hang art work, what important items to put in each room, and did it in a caring way. I believe that taking Ellen’s advice on staging our home helped to sell it. We sold our house to the first person who came to view it, the first day on the market! Thanks Ellen, we love the way our house looks now, and wished we would have known you before so we could have enjoyed our house the way it looks now for the time we lived here! If you are looking for decorating tips or listing your house, I recommend giving Ellen a call!
Ellen was amazing. We did a thorough walkthrough of the home and she gave suggestions for lots of easy changes I could make to stage the home for sale.
It was a bit of work for us but was definitely worth it, the home was sold after under 6 days on the market!
While we were doing the work Ellen was so helpful via text and email to coach us and continue helping us get set up to look the best that we could.
Ellen has made a post on this page about my house that sold last week. Since the house was empty, I thought it best to invest in having it staged. Ellen was recommended to me by my realtor Mike Hornby from Remax. Ellen first recommended an excellent cleaner to get the house sparkling and then staged it beautifully. The house not only sold in three days but I was it sold for over the asking price! In my opinion, having it staged more than paid for itself! I might add that I don't live in Calgary and was able negotiate this entire sale without ever stepping foot in the city. A testament to having an excellent team helping me through all of this. Thanks so much!
Ellen brings a great work ethic and eye for creativity to the table when working with my clients, while staying within a very cost effective budget. I'm so impressed with her enthusiasm and love for creating an inviting environment that I know makes a positive impression on Buyers. I certainly know she's done this in my listings and created that feeling of "I could live here" ~ " this is so comfortable" ~ and a more recent comment from a showing Realtor and her Buyers on a condo listing of mine..."WOW... This looks beautiful!"
Check Ellen out and bring some more value to your Clients with her staging services...
