1. We don’t have time for a home makeover.

If you have time to sell your home, then you have time to do a makeover and style it for sale. Statistics show that homes that are not designed to sell generally sell for a lower price, proving that homeowners who spend money to list their home get back the money they spent and more! No one can guarantee your outcome, but if you don’t complete a home makeover, you’re less likely to get the asking price and your home will stay on the market longer. Time is money!

2. I can’t afford it

Your home is the biggest asset you are likely to have in your life. Can you afford not to spend some money to present your home at its best with a makeover? You want to secure the most money on the sale of your home and sell it in the shortest amount of time. The longer a house stays on the market, the lower its sales prices, and in the meantime you still have to pay your mortgage, council fees and household expenses. It may even mean that you lose the dream home you’ve already signed up for because you couldn’t decide on yours in time. Don’t risk selling “as is”. You don’t want to leave money on the table for the buyer, you want to get the best price. Marketing a home in its best light with a Home Makeover is universally recognized as crucial to making the most profit for you, the seller.

Home Staging is a proven real estate strategy in the US and UK and is now becoming popular in Australia. Surveys of professionally prepared homes compared to homes sold “as is” show an average increase in sales price of 6.9% and 50% less time on the market.

I recently interviewed South Australia’s #1 Estate Agent, Anthony Toop, and asked him about the benefits of using a professional home preparation service.

“Often people just don’t understand how important home presentation is. But, the good news is that it’s changing and a professionally presented home is becoming the benchmark. It’s all about looking your best or you’ll be gone!” you will lose the best!”

The small investment involved in a professional House Stager can tap into hidden profits that can be made for your home. They can take all the hassle out of preparing your home for sale and will guarantee your success.
