Home Presentation

The way you live in your home and the way it needs to be presented for sale are two very different things. So, if your home is for free expression then the likelihood is that it is not for good impressions when selling.

Staging a house is presenting the dream, showing it the way it could be. That's what dreams are made of and the relatively recent phenomenon of staging homes for sale has proven that actualizing that dream has merit, both for buyers and sellers.

You only get one chance to make a great first impression. A potential buyer usually makes a decision to buy a house within the first few minutes.

People respond to their feelings about the house as they try to visualise themselves in your home. Your house needs to give the right signals to potential buyers.

Space Lift Home Presentations Services can help you transform your home for sale and offers an affordable range of solutions to help you maximise the potential of your property with the aim of selling your house faster and for the maximum price.

Home Staging Service

Space Lift can assist you to accessorise your home, inside and outside, to the best effect using creativity with colour, style and balance. We have an eye for what works. Although every home is different and will need to be staged differently, there are some basic staging techniques which are essential elements in preparing your house to sell.

Staging involves strategically regrouping furniture and accessories to emphasise the best features of your property or employing techniques to de-emphasise negative aspects. The service can include room settings and décor, de-cluttering and de-personalising. Should items need to be purchased or hired – this can be arranged (see below).

The costs of Home Staging can be tailored to suit various situations and depends on the size and complexity of the property. A House Stylist charges and hourly fee for Home Staging, excluding hire costs and the use of external contractors such as cleaning, maintenance or gardening contractors. Remember, home staging costs a lot less than your first price reduction.

Thinking about selling in the future

The best time to engage the services of a House Stylist. Your home should be presented at its best prior to engaging a real estate agent. A well presented property may affect an agent’s judgement about price as well as their enthusiasm for selling your property.

A detailed inspection of your property will be followed by a report which highlights the things to maximise first impressions and make your home appeal to the widest possible market. This will often save you the unnecessary expense of renovations which may add no value to the sale price.

Preparing your house for inspections or an auction

Your first inspections or a looming auction date can be a stressful time.

A House Stylist will give your property a face lift. We can rearrange your furniture and personal items to maximum effect choosing the best pieces for key positions and identifying any items which should be removed. If you need help storing these items we can help with that too.

Space Lift offers a hire service for furniture and decorative items which will add the finishing touches to your property and give it the “wow” factor. If you prefer to purchase the items you need we can help with that too.

Getting ready to photograph your home for advertising

Make every marketing dollar count. A House Stylist will show off the best features of your house and “stage set” each photo shoot to achieve the best effect.

Finding it hard to achieve inspections of your property

Most potential buyers do a “drive-by” and if their first impressions are negative they will not follow through with an inspection. We can identify reasons why you are losing opportunities before inspections. We will focus on the roadside appeal and exterior impressions and identify ways to entice potential buyers through your door.

Inspections are not converting to a sale

Maybe this is the time for an honest second opinion. A House Stylist understands the market and buyer attitudes and can identify factors which are inhibiting your chances of sale. If you don’t know why your house is not selling you may be forced to lower your asking price.

Maybe there is some aspect of your property that is letting it down and no-one has been willing to give you this feedback. A House Stylist works for you, the home owner, and only has your interests at heart.

De-Clutter and Storage Service

Prior to Home Staging it is important to consider the existing contents of the home. Everything unnecessary, personal or extreme can be packed, removed and stored for you to enjoy in your next home. De-personalising and de-cluttering will immediately create appeal to the broadest market and allow potential buyers to visualise themselves in your home in the future.

A House Stylist will help you to select which items to keep, store or dispose of and if required, can arrange removal and storage at highly competitive prices.. A quote can be arranged as required.

For clients with time and ability our consultation services may be sufficient. For others with busy lifestyles or who lack the resources, Space Lift can get the necessary jobs done for you.
