Presentation

This is probably the most commonly known element of a successful sale and, surprisingly, often the most overlooked factor in a property. Presentation doesn’t mean just how clean your house is, but how it flows, what colours are used, how the buyers feel when they first pull up outside your home. LEARN MORE>

Home Staging
 
If you've got an empty house think about staging, it really brings a special emotion to your house "People buy homes not houses" 

Great home staging maximises buyer appeal by highlighting a home's best features and minimises the less desirable ones, creating a lasting first impression. 

If you want to sell your home faster and for the best possible price, then it makes sense to invest in home staging.

Modernisation
 
There are a few things you can do to modernise your home without spending lots of money. Kitchens can be updated by simply painting the kitchen cupboards in a light modern colour, updating the handles with a brushed silver look, replacing bench-tops only if need be.

• Update door handles with a brushed silver look   
• Switch light/socket plates for a more modern look  
• Fix visible cracks and consider a fresh lick of paint   
• Dress bare windows with ready made curtains
• Add large mirrors to open up small spaces
• Update taps to a more modern look
