Synopsis

Official series synopsis from HGTV:

[The Stagers is] packed full of stunning transformations that turn dull for-sale spaces into spectacular residences that shine in today’s real-estate market.... Matthew, Bridget and Maureen – professional stagers from Dekora, one of Canada’s leading home staging companies – work to stage a range of homes while hustling to exceed client demands. Budgets and schedules are tight in the world of home staging which means the multi-tasking teams are always in the pressure cooker. From practical tricks on how to sell your home to the sparks that fly when the heat is on, each episode is a lesson in transforming a house from a first impression turn-off to a market gem. [1]
