HOME STAGING AND STYLING
STAGING IS NOT ABOUT MAKING A HOUSE LOOK PRETTY
IT'S ABOUT MAKING IT MARKETABLE
Buying a home is the largest investment most of us will make, so when it comes to selling, we need to try and get the best price possible, as it will affect the next property we buy.
Buyers tend to look online first and make decisions in a matter of seconds, so a homeowner only has a short time to engage a buyer before they swipe and move on to the next property. They will also notice if a house has been on the market for a while and may suspect problems when it is still available weeks or months after it has been listed.
​
If you are concerned that your home is not attracting the interest that you had hoped, consider investing in home staging before you consider reducing your price.
It can highlight some simple easy fixes that could be putting off potential buyers and make recommendations that prove invaluable when selling the property.
Staging recommendations are not meant as criticism, but you need to think of your house as a property to sell and help buyers imagine it as their home, and not yours.

Most properties will only require decluttering and depersonalising but in some instances, it may involve minor updates, especially in bathrooms and kitchens.
You may have finished with the property but for a buyer it will be their new home and they are willing to pay more for a move in ready property.
​
No-one wants to spend too much money on a house they are going to sell but remember that any investment you do make will always be less than your first price reduction and is usually recouped in the final selling price.
If you choose to sell your property 'as is' you risk being on the market longer than you want and may get offers for less than you expect.
If you were selling your car, you would probably fix, clean and polish it, so why not do the same for your property?
​
It is at its most valuable the day it goes on sale so make sure it looks its best from Day 1.
