7 expert tips for selling your property

Selling your house this spring? In this blog, styling expert Justine Stedman shares her top tips and tricks for preparing homes for sale. Just a few simple tweaks can be the difference between a mediocre result and a record-breaking sale.
Here are Justine’s tips.
1. Get the basics right
Make sure the property is clean and clutter free. Remove any excess furniture and decorative items like photo frames and trinkets.
2. Create aspirational living
Set the scene and present the lifestyle the property offers its buyers. Introduce style and detail through cushions, throws, accessories and artwork.
5. Manage your first impression
First impressions count so a fresh coat of paint on the façade can be money well spent. Repair any outside damage such as broken fencing, guttering or outdoor lights and create a pathway.
6. Prepare for open homes
Be organised and prepare in advance for open houses. Ensure the property is spotless on open days with no trace of pets in sight or scent.
7. Enlist a property stylist
Styling a property for sale helps potential buyers to connect emotionally with the property and realise its true functionality and potential.
