It is, quite simply, the process of professionally presenting a property for sale in order to achieve the best possible price within the shortest time frame and to achieve maximum appeal to the largest number of buyers.
There are always ups and downs in the real estate market. However, sales are always achievable. Property styling and staging will give you the competitive edge while aiming to achieve the best possible price within the shortest possible time frame. Statistics show staged properties sell for up to 15% more than comparable un-staged properties. And staged homes sell 30% – 50% faster than un-styled similar properties.
Property styling and staging will also achieve psychological buyer appeal, allowing buyers to walk into a property and imagine themselves living in their dream home. Statistics show that approximately 90% of buyers can’t visualise a property and how they wish to live in it when it is vacant, hence the demand for styling and staging. Buyers want to see and experience a beautiful home.
And staging is an essential part of a sales campaign , creating beautiful photographs, the first point of contact with potential buyers.
With a proven track record of success and formal qualifications in Interior Design, we have the knowledge and experience to present your property to achieve the maximum sale price within the shortest possible time frame.

We will also work alongside your real estate agent in terms of the schedule for professional photography. DesigntoSell also offers a Lights On service where the stylist enters the property to switch on lights, style and inspect the property prior to viewing to ensure that it is clean and ready for inspection by potential buyers. The first lights-on service is free of charge but must be pre-booked. Any additional lights-on services are at an additional $150 fee per service which is to be pre-booked and paid prior to the service date. This service can include switching on lights, re-styling of beds, ensuring optimum air flow and temperature setting and ensuring each room is ready for open homes. This entails approximately 1.5 – 2 hours of the stylist’s time for set up and again for pack up before and after the open home.
