During the 10 years I have been involved in real estate, it amazes me how often I see frustrated home sellers. Their frustration is with the selling process. Perhaps, their home isn’t receiving much interest, offers are “low ball”, they have been listed for ages or the selling price needed to be reduced…..again. My time in the industry has helped me to identify the most common mistakes homeowners make when selling.

Where To Get Your Artwork When Staging Your Home

By |2019-02-12T16:43:08+10:00March 20th, 2017|Home Staging Tips|

When you hang art in your family home, it’s been chosen for personal reasons. It may remind you of a family holiday. It might reflect your love for the ocean or the mountains. It might be a collage of your children and family. My advice to clients though, is that these pieces should be removed when selling the home. Why? Well, staging the home is about de-personalising the space and staging art is no different. It’s designed to market your home, to fill empty walls and create excitement in a buyer. Staging art will help your buyers make the emotional [...]

How To Stage A Kids Bedroom

By |2019-02-12T16:43:09+10:00March 13th, 2017|DIY, Home Staging Tips|

A few months back, our little family did something crazy! It was the first time I have ever felt truly stressed. We moved house. We upgraded from a cozy, three bedroom house, to a gigantic, five bedroom home, in a neighborhood two suburbs over. Not such an amazing feat? Well, we decided that the perfect time to do this was when I was 32 weeks pregnant and with an 18 month old in tow. Whilst in the haze of packing, when my toddler was not so helpfully unpacking every box I packed, I remember thinking how much harder it would be [...]

Are You Outdating Your Home?

By |2019-02-12T16:43:09+10:00March 6th, 2017|Home Improvements|

If you’re considering putting your place on the market, it’s time to stop thinking about it as your home and start thinking about it as a house to sell. Once you decide to sell, take a step back and have a good, hard look at your home's decor. Are your decor choices outdating your home? Dated touches might seem charming to you but it can turn off a potential buyer, lower your home value and make the selling process that much more difficult. What do I mean by dated touches? These include fixtures, fittings, wall and floor coverings and furniture that was first [...]
