Property Styling

The marketing of properties has changed dramatically over the past decade. Gone are the days we would drive around looking at every Open for Inspection. Today, properties need to stand out and grab potential buyers in print and digital media.

Styled properties visually draw in perspective buyers, and allows your property to stand out against competing properties on the market. Styling has become essential in achieving a great result - a maximum sales price, with minimal time on the market.

Ali Waight Stylist works with your agent to determine the target buying market and styles the property with specifically selected pieces that complement the style and architectural elements of the property.

Frequently Asked Questions about Property Styling

What if I already have furniture? Can you still style my home?

Sure! We can visit you and advise how to style your own furniture for market. We will advise on how to declutter and what areas you need to concentrate on. We can also add to your existing furniture to create a stylish home in order to market. We can go through and work out which items can be used and those that need to be removed.

How much does it cost?

Styling Consultations, to prepare your property for market, in your fully furnished home are $195 inc GST. For vacant homes we offer a free quote for furniture hire. Depending on the size of the property it can be between $3,000 - $7,000 inc GST. We can work with you to a particular budget. Previous return on investment results are listed at $20,000 - $100,000 more than the vendor reserve.
