Maximise your selling price

Auckland’s leading real estate agents understand the power of Living Edge home staging. They believe the houses we style and furnish attract more interest and achieve higher selling prices than homes that are presented ‘as is’. If your house will be going on the market soon, or if it’s on the market but not getting much interest, here’s why you should seriously think about home staging:

1. A staged home looks better on the web, where potential buyers do most of their research. Many buyers won’t consider viewing your home until they’ve toured the home online and watched a video.
2. Potential buyers find it easier to imagine themselves in your home when it’s staged because everyday clutter isn’t visible and details of your life are less obvious.
3. Your home appears bigger because our stylists know how to maximise floor space and free-up traffic areas.
4. Home staging ideas are based on current interior design fashion, so a clever stylist can update a tired-looking home without the expense of building alterations and paint.
5. Careful use of colour and reflective surfaces can make dark rooms appear lighter and small rooms appear larger.
6. Home staging creates unity throughout your house, creating the ‘wow’ factor that makes it easier to forgive faults.

“Staging a home is a mixture of creativity, fashion sense and sales savvy. Our home staging stylists know how to make homes look bigger and better – online and in real life. Where homeowners cram things in, we lighten the load. If a house has great outdoor areas, we use furniture placement to lead them outside. This is particularly important during a busy open home when you don’t want people all crowding into one area. Furniture can be used to lead home viewers to all the right places.”                                                                 Sharon Laffan, Interior Designer and Managing Director, Living Edge

Accentuate the positive

Every apartment has its strengths and weaknesses. Living Edge home staging for apartments can make sure the positive features always shine through. Even if your place is short on floor area, as many apartments are, our home staging experts can make it feel spacious and contemporary. You can expect your investment in home staging to more than pay for itself through increased buyer interest and a higher selling price. Here’s why apartment home staging works:

1. Your apartment will look better online, which is where most potential buyers will first see it. If you’re paying for a video tour, you’ll get more bang for your buck if your apartment is staged.
2. The apartment styling process de-clutters your apartment, so that it looks bigger and traffic flow is smoother.
3. If your apartment is currently vacant, home staging will bring it to life. A styled space always looks better than an empty room.
4. Our stylists draw on leading interior design fashion to make your apartment look amazing, even if it’s actually in need of renovation.
5. Apartment home staging can help to accentuate positive attributes, such as a great view, a spacious kitchen or walk-in wardrobe.

“Our stylists know how to choose and position furniture to maximise floor space in an apartment. We also have some professional tricks up our sleeve to make a great first impression. When a potential buyer walks into your place, you want their eyes to open wide with surprise and delight. That’s always the effect we’re aiming for.” Lucy Miles, Showhome Manager – Creative Living Edge

Help your properties to sell themselves

Whether you’re selling multiple apartments or just one character property, home staging can help you achieve the yield you need. Every dollar you invest in our home staging services will be more than repaid through a higher selling price. Here’s why home staging works so well for new developments, as well as speculative do-ups:

• Potential buyers find it hard to visualise their life in empty spaces. When we set the scene, through carefully chosen furniture and accessories, buyers can imagine themselves at home.
• By choosing luxurious furniture and accessories, we can give your development a premium feeling that commands a higher price tag.
• Empty rooms can appear smaller than professionally furnished rooms. It’s true. Our stylists know how to make rooms appear larger through their choice of furniture styles, sizes and colours.
• If the eventual buyer really loves how we’ve furnished your property, they have the option to buy any or all of the furniture collection used for the staging.
