When selling your home or investment property, presentation is a critical part of the selling process. Whilst it is not guaranteed, general statistics in the industry indicate that styling a property for sale can add up to 5% - 10% to your sales price, so it is definitely worth the time and effort.

The aim of property styling is to maximise the property's appeal to attract as many buyers as possible. You want buyers to imagine themselves living in your property, you want to create an emotional connection with your home. This connection drives competition amongst buyers and is a driving force behind achieving a higher price.

There are many simple ways you can style your own property and this workshop will cover some fundamental basics whilst also giving you golden nuggets of insights from industry professionals to help you style your home yourself.
