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
