It’s often said that time is money. This adage rings truer than ever for property sellers, time spent with a listing lingering on the market can equate to money lost, both in potential profits and ongoing property costs. This can be frustrating and disheartening for homeowners.
Thus, creating a lasting good first impression is imperative.
The Challenge of Stagnancy
With the rise in interest rates, we are now in a buyers’ market. Therefore, property that is poorly presented could remain on the market for a lengthy period without any significant interest.
The Transformational Power of Staging
However, hope is not lost. The key to unlocking a property’s potential is property staging. By acknowledging the need for a change and bringing in a fresh perspective homeowners can achieve their desired sale price.
Meet Joe Vieira
Joe is an independent estate agent, who specialises in breathing new life into tired listings with impressive results.
In this article, we’ll explore how Joe’s property staging expertise transformed a stagnant Banbury property and captivated potential buyers, which ultimately led to a successful sale.
The Banbury Property
The property languished on the market even after a £25K price reduction for an entire year. It was then that the homeowner contacted Joe for help.
Joe instantly recognised that the property had tremendous potential but seemed to have lost its appeal. The first step in revitalising this beautiful family home was acknowledging that a change was necessary.
A new approach to the property’s presentation was set in motion. The result was that the property looked so amazing that they increased the price by £25k and it sold in two weeks and completed 9 weeks later.
A Peek into the New Banbury Property
The Kitchen – Often termed as the ‘Heart of the Home’, the kitchen was transformed into a space where modern functionality met classic aesthetics, making it an irresistible draw for potential buyers.
The Dining Room – This space was reimagined to evoke feelings of family gatherings, warm dinners, and memorable conversations, greatly enhancing its attractiveness.
The Bedroom – A sanctuary for rest and relaxation, the bedroom received a meticulous makeover. Soft, neutral palettes were combined with plush linens and strategic lighting to create a serene and inviting ambience. The room was curated to showcase spaciousness while exuding warmth, ensuring potential buyers could envision themselves unwinding after a long day.
