House Staging & Home Makeovers

 

What is Staging?

Staging has been proven to be the fastest way to market a home with the greatest results and is the art of decorating a property to sell quickly and for top dollar.

It may be as simple as rearranging furniture and accessories which are already in a home or as complex as bringing in new furniture, accessories and art to an empty space.

*Most projects lie somewhere between these two extremes.

It has been proven that show homes  almost always sell first in any development.  A skilfully staged house helps a buyer visualize themselves living in the home of their dreams.

The way you live in your home for comfortable living is not the same as the way you decorate your house for selling.  When you are living in a home you want it to reflect your personality, your tastes and preferences. For this reason you usually surround yourself with decorative items that are personally important to you. 

To prepare your home for selling you need to de-personalize it in order to make it as appealing as possible to the largest number of potential buyers so they can visualize themselves in the interior. They want to be in a stylish home which fulfils all their hopes and dreams.

Home Makeovers

Since the goal is to depersonalize the home and make it more broadly appealing to buyers, the first step towards showing a property to its best advantage may call for de-cluttering, painting and making minor repairs as well as moving some or all of the homeowners existing furniture and personal items into temporary storage.  This leaves a clearly defined palette on which to work.

Staging

The aim of the next step is to make it possible for potential buyers to see the house as the home of their dreams.  The choice and arrangement of furnishings and accessories should appeal to the broadest range of buyers possible as well as enhance the house’s architectural features and attractive elements.  We accomplish this by removing and rearranging existing furniture as well as adding accents of colour with rental items, accessories and paint. A properly staged home will downplay negative features of the house,  emphasize its strengths and give  potential buyers a positive feeling about the home.

Selling for top dollars

A staged home is presented in the best possible way and will invariably outshine the competition. A staged property becomes a more valuable property. A fast sale and a higher selling price is the return you can expect from your investment in the Makeover and Staging of your home.

 

How we help you sell your home

Through requests from clients, we also diversified into home staging in 2005. We have transformed many homes through makeovers and staging, each of which achieved unexpectedly high sale prices, many of them selling within just days of being listed.

Starting by doing an analysis of your home, room by room and developing a detailed report, we then meet with you to offer our recommendations and agree on a final plan. You can then choose to make the recommended alternations yourself or just relax while we perform the all the stunning transformations that will sell your home.

Unlike many staging companies with representatives who have taken a short 'staging' course lasting maybe only a few days of training, we have highly qualified and very experienced Interior Designers.

We have our own loyal database of reliable and talented trades people with whom we work and, of course, our own team of skilled makeover professionals.   We use our own line of rental furniture, furnishings and accessories and also have access to other items as required.
