Selling a home is a competitive business in an often crowded market. There are frequently many homes available for sale, so you need your property to stand out. By doing this you can reduce the time it is on the market, and maximise the return you can achieve.

Home Staging is the practice of preparing and dressing your home in such a way that you maximise the pool of potential buyers that can see themselves living there. It’s about selling, not only your home, but a lifestyle.

According to US research:

• It has been shown that buyers form an opinion within the first 15 seconds of entering a house. (NWI Times, 2013*)

• Home Staging can reduce a listing's time on the market, and could fetch as much as 6% to 20% more than an empty home or a home not properly staged. (NWI Times, 2013*) 

Sometimes when you have lived in a property for a long time, you become blinkered to what outsiders see and feel when they enter your home. Home Staging enables you to make aesthetic changes in and around your home that will increase appeal to those people viewing your house, giving you a greater number of potential buyers. Our goal is to not only sell your property more quickly, but also gain a higher return.

On instruction, we will visit your property and assess its current appearance. All Things House will provide you with a written summary of practical and straightforward solutions to make your home stand out. The changes that we will propose do not have to be expensive. We will advise you on the aesthetic changes that will make all the difference to your home. You may well be able to borrow some of the required ‘props’ from family and friends.

You can then choose whether you would like to implement these changes yourself, or would prefer to have us make these adjustments for you. Either way we’d be happy to help you make your home the best it can be, and ultimately assist you to achieve the sale you are looking for at the best possible price.
