For many homeowners, putting your home on the market can be a daunting time and is one of the biggest financial decisions you will ever make. Ultimately, you want to get the best price possible.
Property styling in Sydney is fast become an essential part of a property marketing campaign.
A recent article by Ben Collier, a leading Sydney based real estate agent ‘The rise of property stylists‘ states “When you have a fantastic property for sale in Sydney, it’s almost essential to have it professionally styled to showcase your home’s unique attributes and maximise its appeal.”
Why style your home for sale?
The aim of property styling is to have your home stand out from other properties by improving the look and appeal, thereby increasing buyer interest. Engaging a professional stylist can add value to your home by helping buyers visualise the lifestyle and full potential your home has to offer, achieving a quicker sale and price uplift that exceeds the cost of the styling service.
Property styling is a must have marketing investment, especially when considering your property is usually your largest asset and you only have one chance to get it right. Clients can achieve a substantial return on investment on the cost to style, by achieving an increase the sale price by tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In today’s competitive market, an empty or poorly presented property lacks appeal to potential buyers. Styled homes add as much as 7.5 to 12.5% increase on your final sale price and reduces the time to market.
How much does property styling cost?
Property styling costs vary depending on factors such as the property size and access, as well as how much furniture and styling is required. Evolve can provide a Full or Partial Styling service where we might be able to use some of your existing furniture (if suitable) to reduce costs.
