If you’re planning a move and intend to sell your home or apartment in Sydney, you’ve chosen the right time. With spring in the air and the excitement the change of season brings, you’ll surely make this real estate transaction the biggest and best in your lifetime. Of course there are some gargantuan tasks on your ‘to-do’ list, but you don’t have to do them all alone. As your real estate agent will tell you, your best bet is to relax and let the professionals handle the hard part. That means calling in a Sydney home staging team to see to the details of making your home ready for the market.

Why stage your home for sale? Money and time. Buyers who see a well-staged home realise immediately that it will sell quickly. If they want it, they will not want it to get away from them, so they offer quickly and they offer above the asking price.

Another benefit to staging is that real estate agents realise the house will be a fast seller, so they tend to show the house more often. More exposure to prospective buyers means more chances to sell and, since the law of supply and demand always works, you may find yourself on the golden side of a bidding war.

Of course, all of this depends on the quality of the home and the staging itself. Unfortunately, a poorly staged home will get the opposite reaction and results to well-presented properties. Naturally, you want to be sure your home stagers have impeccable references and a sterling reputation for excellence in all they do. In the growing world of Sydney home staging, there are new companies popping up all the time, so you’ll have to do your homework. Talk to your selling agent, make some calls, and do always check references. (Don’t be fooled by unscrupulous companies that offer you canned – often professionally written – reviews. Instead, ask for names and phone numbers of satisfied customers then follow up. You’ll be glad you did.)

Almost always, home staging companies offer a number of options for your property. Usually there is an option that buys you a walk-through by the design team and a list of things to do to improve the presentation of your property. Other options may include a by-the-room cost, a whole house cost, and an outdoor package that will serve to perk up your home’s street appeal.

Here is the best advice you’ll get all day: Hire the best company and opt for the biggest package you can afford. Remember, your investment will come back to you in multiples.

In order to hire the best company possible, we suggest that you consider experience. Look for a staging company in which some of the principals have hands-on real estate selling experience.
