Preparing your home for sale
As you prepare to sell your home, one of the most important things you can do is to engage the services of professional property stylists...like us!
We have extensive experience and expertise in how to showcase your home's best features, transforming it for maximum appeal to potential buyers.
To make THE most out of our services, it is essential to prepare your home by following these simple steps:
Declutter and Depersonalize: Before we arrive it's crucial to declutter and depersonalize your space. Remove all unnecessary items, such as excess furniture, knick-knacks, fridge magnets, personal photos, bathroom items, kitchen items like toasters, chopping boards and coffee makers. Decluttering not only makes your home appear more spacious but also allows us to work with a "blank slate" so we can weave our magic without distractions.
Clean and Repair: Prior to us arriving for installation ALL surfaces and your entire home need to be cleaned thoroughly. Kitchens and bathrooms especially require attention as these are high traffic areas for potential buyers. Additionally, any minor repairs eg burnt out light bulbs, paint touch ups or leaky taps need to be fixed to ensure that your home is picture perfect and photo ready.
Maximize Curb Appeal: First impressions really do matter when trying to sell a home. Boost your home's curb appeal by tidying up both the front and back yards, so they are ready for our styling team to set up outdoor furniture and create those all important outdoor entertainment areas. A quick Gurney of the exterior of your home can significantly impact a buyers perception of your property. We are all about setting the tone so the buyer has THE best viewing experience possible.
Keeping it photo ready: If you are still living in your home during the sales campaign, make sure you take reference photos of all our styling details. Every placement of each cushion, the placement of all the style elements on the coffee tables, how the kitchen is styled, how the bed is made and the throws are thrown! It is essential that you are able to replicate what we have done so you are inspection ready at all times.
Communication: we are big believers that communication is KEY! Let us know if you have any specific areas of your home you want to highlight or are concerned about. We can tailor our services accordingly to make sure your sales campaign is stress free and a resounding success.
