Traditionally, home owners have flooded the real estate market with properties for sale in spring as the sun starts to shine and the energy levels rise to get out there and search for their dream property.

But what about if you can’t wait for spring’s arrival and need to get your property sold in winter?

Thoughtful and considered styling uplifts the mood and appearance of your property during a winter sale and aides prospective buyers to see your property in a fresh and relatable way. Given a buyer’s first impression of your home is typically experienced online, a strategically well-staged home enhances its chances of standing out in marketing collateral and making it onto the buyer’s must-see list.

Staging furniture can add an estimated value in excess of $50,000 to a property. For vendors who opt for DIY styling, our experienced agents can offer helpful advice with styling, furniture positioning and decluttering.
