About Staging
Sometimes
called ‘Home Enhancement’ is a relatively new industry,
where a professionally trained person or someone with a
natural flair for furniture placement and decorating,
assists the homeowner make their home more desirable to
potential buyers. This service often results in a better
sales figure than anticipated, and in a much shorter
time frame as statistics will show
Generally this is an idea of what you can expect from
our service.
-
We focus on the positives and play down the
negatives.
-
We de-clutter & depersonalize thus maximizing your
space.
-
We will then make it even more appealing &
desirable with our experience & training.
-
We will utilize the home owner’s personal
furnishings, with our own accessories (if necessary)
-
If the home is vacant we will bring in rental
furniture that has been specially selected to suit
the homes characteristics or features and combine
with our accessories for that Wow factor.
