Why property presentation?

Property presentation is a growing industry in the United States and is rapidly gaining momentum in the larger capital cities of Australia. More commonly referred to as 'Home Staging', property presentation is all about increasing the visual benefits of a given property and to make it more attractive to a larger buying audience.

Property presentation provides the vendor an opportunity to make their home stand out from the crowd, to have it looking its very best and to attract the right buyer.
A better presented property will always make the home buyer feel more comfortable and give a better impression right from the start. In some cases, it may reduce the chance of price negotiation which means your property sells for a greater price.

Most people when selling their homes have an expectation of price which they have researched based on similar homes which have sold in the neighbourhood. But is your property really ready for makret? Does it have that wow factor that will convince a potential buyer to sign on the dotted line?

Shift by Design are specialists in the area of property presentation and interior redesign. We are experienced at preparing properties for market and ensuring all of the key features of your property are properly presented.
Shift by Design can also arrange furniture rental, accessory hire, project manage contractors and assist in installing and making changes within your home.

Selling homes in Hobart

Shift by Design were contacted by Kerry and John of Sandy Bay in Tasmania to assist them review their home for ways to improve the overall look and feel to potential buyers. Kerry advised that the property had been on the market for some months but had not generated any real interest much to her frustration. After reviewing the property Shift by Design submitted our findings for their property in order to present it to buyers in its best light.

Both Kerry and John were very receptive to the ideas and could see the potential and contracted Shift by Design to complete the install and arrange accessory and furniture hire. While this work was underway, the owners decided to take the property off the market during the makeover to ensure everything was ready next time a buyer walked through the door.

The property was a great base to work from as it was well maintained and with some decluttering, fresh paint, hired furniture and some accent accessories such as rugs, vases and fresh linen the property came alive.

With some hard work by the owners to complete the list of required jobs and Shift by Design's eye for what was required the property it was soon back on the market.

After only one week back on the market the property was sold. A great result for both the owners and Shift by Design.
