Every house which has been a home needs that extra something to achieve the highest price possible.

The way you live in your home and the way it should look when you come to sell are two very different things.

CREATES A BROAD BUYER APPEAL

Home Staging is a way of preparing a property for selling, so that it appeals to the broadest range of buyers, and, it improves your chances for a quick and more profitable sale.

“Home Staging is the exact opposite to interior design”Staging is done with no one particular in mind, (but rather with everyone in mind), and it’s mainly an editing and an elimination process, whereas interior design is a supplementing process (of adding beautiful things that have a personal meaning to a client). During staging, the objective is to use as much of what you’ve got and to arrange it, and to present it in the best possible way to accentuate the good points of the property, and to down-play negative aspects. Simple Staging methods can be used to get any house ready for sale. It just takes a little it of creative thinking, and in most cases, not a lot of time or money needs to be invested in order to achieve a great result.

Interior Design.

Interior design is specific to….

Most sellers have naturally styled and designed their home decor to reflect their own personal likes and taste – but, the way that you live in your home, and the way it should look when it comes to selling are two VERY different things. Some basic changes like neutralising, de-personalising and de-cluttering your home will immediately create mass appeal and this increases the number of potential buyers for your property.

With home staging, we strategically regroup furniture and accessories so that we emphasise the best features of the property, and we try to minimise negative aspects with careful use of colour and style. Very often our staging suggestions are cost effective, quick to implement, and everything that we do is based on maximum effect – for minimum costs. We’re working together with you to help you to change your home quickly and effortlessly to make it more appealing to buyers. In staging, the existing contents of the home are considered and everything unnecessary, personal or extreme is removed or packed away for you to enjoy in your next home.

Potential buyers are looking for a home that they feel that they can live in. Over 90% of buyers will be blinded by the current presentation of your home, and they can’t imagine themselves or their belongings “living” in your home if they are surrounded with memories of you, your life, and your family.

A mental shift in thinking is needed to understand that buyers need to see the shell of the house more clearly, so that they can mentally imagine themselves and their own furniture fitting into the home. And, once you grasp that concept, and you prepare your home accordingly, you’re on to a winning formula for achieving the best possible price for your property.

Home Staging is much more than just helping sellers decorate their home. – Staging involves a number of processes, and these are discussed in more detai under Home Staging Basics Effective Home Staging will include using recognised and proven techniques that work when selling a home. Although every home is different, and will need to be staged differently, there are some basic home staging techniques which are essential in preparing your house to sell:

And, remember that a few hundred dollars spent in property presentation can make thousands in return when you sell your home. ..To add extra style to your home we strongly recommend that you use some of our Home Staging Props.

Every house which has been a
home, needs that extra
something to achieve the
highest price possible when
it comes to selling.

The way that you live in your
home, and the way it should
look when you come to
selling are two very different
things.

“Because you’re likely to sell quickly and to get more and for more money…

If you were selling your car, you
would have a full car-detail job
done on it to present it in the
best possible way. So why not
do the same with your house?
Spotless presentation of your car
(and home) suggests to potential
buyers that it has been well loved
and well maintained

Whatever your budget, the
amount of money that you spend
will be a tiny porportion to the
value of your property. And, your
\returns on that spend is likely to
be huge when it comes to selling
your home.

“Gone are the days when buyers
were looking to buy a property
with four strong walls and a
water-tight roof. In most cases,
people change homes to improve
their lifestyle”

Most buyers favour a home that
they can move straight into and
start living, – and the rest are
serial renovators looking to snap
up a bargain to fix up for re-sale. -
What type of buyer do you want?

First impressions whether good
or bad are lasting ones, – and no
amount of money spent later will
erase negative thoughts.

Staging could very well be

compared to wearing makeup…

So, if you want to get top dollar
for your home it’s vital that your
home is well maintained,
uncluttered and well presented
both inside and outside if you’re
to make a good first impression
and to tempt a buyer into
making an offer.

And, other than attending to
the basic preparations of
cleanliness, repairs and
maintenance, you need Home
Staging to make sure that your
property stands out from the
crowd, if you’re going to sell
quickly and at the best possible
price.
