Trusted Home Stagers in Cheltenham

It’s surprisingly easy to put your property on the market for sale. After you have made the decision to sell, you can be up and running with viewings in a matter of days. The big mistake that sellers make is presenting their homes exactly as they live in them.nnBuyers want to imagine themselves living in your home; it's an “emotional purchase.” If your home is busy, cluttered, or perhaps represents you too much (with personal pictures, etc.), it is often impossible for them to “get that feeling.”nnWhen you’re selling your home, you have a very small window to catch a buyer’s attention. As a former estate agent myself, I sold hundreds of homes (probably more). I watched buyers behaviour, and I can tell you they are very quick to make up their minds (often within minutes, sometimes seconds). nnThey are often in an anxious state to begin with because they are looking for “that feeling”; they are looking for “the one.” Time is limited for them as they are viewing several other properties that day, and perhaps they have booked time off work, etc.nnIf you think about it, you probably spend less time in a house you are buying than you do choosing an outfit for a wedding. On average, your buyer will probably spend less than an hour in your home (even if you include the second viewing). When you consider the amount of money they are spending, it’s easier to understand why they are in an anxious state to begin with.nnSellers often rely on the estate agent to let them know what needs to be done before they sell. I can tell you firsthand that after you’ve had three valuations and one estate agent recommends some changes while the other two say how amazing your home looks, sellers will always choose the agent who has a positive opinion of their home as it is.nnTake a look at the property websites like Rightmove, etc.; they are full of properties with price reductions, with thousands of pounds being stripped off the original selling prices. It doesn’t need to be this way.nnOften, your home just needs some small tweaks, decluttering, and making it more appealing to the greatest number of buyers. Our Home Staging focuses on working with what you’ve got and elevating it to sell the lifestyle your buyers are looking for.
