What is Home Staging?
"Home Staging" is the term now widely used to describe “preparing your home for sale is ready to go on the market and be aimed at the right target market, by ensuring the presentation is the best it can be for a quick sale and to maximise price.

Professional Home Staging is much more than 'painting it all white and clearing the clutter!'

For many home Sellers and Estate Agents the concept of "professional home staging" is being increasingly recognised and used to effectively promote and market a home in the property selling marketplace.

While Estate Agents are experts in the field of selling houses and closing the sale, many are not design savvy. Estate Agents usually know exactly what factors can help sell a home but it is not always that easy to get a home into selling condition in a timely manner without experienced assistance. That’s where Professional Home Staging stylists can really help.

Professional Home Staging stylists are practiced in the art of preparing a home for resale. They work with the "flow" of a home, eliminate clutter, edit out and re-arrange furniture, and even assist in enhancing drive by appeal. With the aid of a Professional Home Staging Stylist, your house can make a notable first impression on potential homebuyers and in doing so help you to sell your home in half the time for up to 10% more.

The Estate Agency industry often stresses that the first impression is the key factor in selling your home. Typically, a potential buyer has made up their mind ten seconds after they step in the front door. They were already forming an opinion as they pulled up outside. That really doesn't leave too much room for not getting it right first time. Each viewing should lead to a potential offer. If it doesn't, it's another viewing wasted and another potential buyer lost. To achieve the greatest possible outcome a home should always be presented at its best from day one.

We have found that people who are choosing not to move, have just moved in to a new home and don't know where to start, or who are in need of help with their current decorating project also ask us for our help. We call this Home Styling. We use similar principles to professional home staging, but the homeowner is looking to stay in the property for some time and may want to make more permanent changes to their living space.
