Home staging: A complete guide for sellers
Get your property looking its beautiful best

AI summary
Home staging can increase your property's sale price by 10-15% by highlighting its best features. This helps potential buyers imagine themselves living in the space.
You can hire a professional stager, which typically costs between $1,500 and $5,000+ for a 4-5 week furniture and decor package. Alternatively, you can DIY stage your home by:
- Decluttering and depersonalising
- Finishing small maintenance jobs
- Styling outdoor areas to improve street appeal and create inviting spaces.
