Ray White Spring into Action

Home staging is all about improving the aesthetics of the home in preparation to sell the property. This is done by bringing in homeware, art and furniture in the short-term and to set up the home for the selling process, from photos through to the open homes and sale. This process is usually done by bringing in a home staging expert who will go through a consultation process with the seller, visit the home and get a feel for the space and make recommendations. Home staging is usually used if a home is vacant and not currently being lived in, as furnishing and decorative features help buyers to visualise themselves living in the home. But, the consultations are also beneficial to vendors to gain personalised insights and tips for decluttering, and presenting their already furnished home to best maximise the potential of each room. Staging "Research substantiates that on average, staged homes sell twice as fast, and at 6% per cent higher sale price, than un-staged homes. That's $12,000 for every $200k value on your property."
