Staging is not just for top end property

When selling a home, most people think that the concept of home staging is a service only for top-end property.

The truth of the matter is that any property can benefit from either a property presentation review (which helps determine areas of the property can that can be improved or changed to create a more welcoming space for buyers) or having the property styled for sale if it is vacant.

Shift by Design recently styled a vacant property for sale in one of Hobart's outer suburbs. The property was a small two bedroom unit that would not normally be an ideal candidate for furniture rental for two main reasons, the asking price and the current finish on the property.

I this case, the client was advised the funds to be used for furniture rental would be better off used to recarpet and repaint the property. The latter was done in key areas and the client still felt strongly about having furniture in the property to display it properly.

Shift by Design installed two bedrooms and an open plan living and dining area and dramatically transformed the property from a dark and relatively uninviting home into a fresh and open space.

The client could not believe the results, she commented that it could not be the same property and the agent was pleasantly surprised with the difference the investment in furniture rental made. In fact, after listing the property online more than 500 hits on the website were registered and the agent suddenly had 8 interested parties to show the property to.

So regardless of the value of your property, home staging or home styling can add significant value to your property and in turn, the potential sale price of your property.
