House buyers have no imagination!
Did you know that only 5% of home buyers can truly visualize how beautiful a home can be or see past the clutter, grime and shabby appearance?
It’s true.
Once you realise the importance of that statistic, you will immediately realise the importance of home staging!
Don’t let your home be the one that sits on the market for months. Home staging techniques are easy to implement and a skilled home stager will work with your existing decor and furniture - always with an eye to keeping costs down.
Your house needs to make a good first impression. When you put your house on the market go through it with a critical eye - what are your buyers going to see?
- Clean. Spring clean your house to within an inch of its life!
- Tidy. Remove any unwanted clutter.
- Fix. Finish off any DIY projects. Mend anything that’s broken.
Your house will always be in competition with ‘the house round the corner’ - give your house the selling ‘edge’ with home staging. Make your house the best it can be, for the 95% without imagination!

Lots of people really worry about home staging thinking it means redecorating your whole house, but its simply having someone with an “eye” dress your house for you- perfect for getting is sold fast!

It’s amazing how many times I’ve browsed real estate websites and seen photographs that show washing-up in the sink, unmade beds, cluttered floors and badly lit rooms. First impressions count. There are so many properties on the market out there that a couple of negative impressions will have the viewer (me) clicking away to view the next house on the list.
Getting a 3rd party in to redress this problem is a must. It’s also a must that the Estate Agents use photographers that fall into that 5% of savvy ‘window dressers’.
Thanks for an informative post.
