Is Property Styling a Good Investment?

Are you thinking of selling your home? If so, you are probably aware of the upward trend towards having properties styled professionally. Generally, a home owner who choses to have their home styled do so as they consider it to be a positive investment towards achieving the highest possible sale price for their home.

What are the benefits of hiring a Property Stylist?

Statistics show that property styling can increase your sale price by at least 10% so your initial investment in the cost of the styling will, in most cases, prove to be a smart one by the end of the transaction.

Your property is your home so of course you will have lots of sentimental things, furniture, photos and knick knacks, that make your house your home. The advantage of a property stylist is that they will view your home through fresh eyes and will aim to show buyers how your home could feel like their home.

They will style it to appeal to as wide an audience as possible and will often tailor the furniture and accessories to a style that appeals to your target market whether that’s downsizers, families or couples. They can also give you advice on de-cluttering and de-personalising your home.

Of course, if your property is already vacant then the property styling process is a lot easier and it will immediately change the empty feel to a homely atmosphere that will appeal to buyers.

Evoking an emotional response from a buyer to your property is one of the key points to styling your home. You want them to walk in and fall in love as they feel instantly at home while envisioning themselves happily living there.

Styled rooms always look great in photographs and the photographs on the internet advertising are the first way a buyer will see your home and decide if they want to take the time to have a look. A room that has been styled will show it off in it’s best light and entice a buyer to want to see more.

At Peter Fisher Real Estate, we understand that selling your home can be stressful and hiring a professional stylist to assist in the presentation of your home can ease the pressure and allow you to concentrate on the garden or getting repairs done.

Agent Liz McAtamney has recently used a local stylist for some of her listings and found the process to be very beneficial to the end result for her clients.

Liz says:

 “Love at first sight cannot be underestimated when buying a home. When a buyer can see and feel themselves living in a home, it is my experience that they act fast and pay good prices to avoid missing out on their dream home. A well styled home creates this environment and I have had some exceptional results especially in otherwise vacant homes.”

 If you are thinking of selling, we hope this has helped to explain some of the advantages of having your property styled. We are happy to recommend a stylist and assist you in the process if it’s something you would like to do.
