HOME STAGING is becoming increasingly popular as vendors seek to increase the return from the sale of the property, and gain an advantage over other properties for sale.
Author, Katrina Maes, has been home-staging for years. She helps clients work within a budget and a timeframe to best prepare their home for sale. Her experience shows that if you home-stage a property for sale you will reduce the time it is on the market and significantly increase the sale price.
Home-staging involves:
Working out your return on investment how much time and money you spend to achieve the desired financial return
Cleaning, de-cluttering and fixing up from undertaking a thorough clean to renovating key areas of your property (kitchen, bathroom, landscaping) to increase your sales price.
Taking YOUR personality out of your home buyers want to immediately see themselves in their new home, they dont want to see the old owners.
Creating the lifestyle story if its a bush property, leave the walking boots by the back door; somewhere on the surf coast, hang the wetsuits in the laundry.
Its not just home-owners who can benefit from learning about home-staging investors, developers and deceased estate trustees anyone looking to SELL FAST FOR MORE.
Throughout the book there are interesting real life case-studies supported by actual financial results.
