Your marketing photos need to showcase your property's strengths in a split second, before people swipe onto the next one. Everywhere's covered during your consultation and many of my suggestions are low-cost or even totally free to implement.
I'm looking at your home with buyers' eyes and weighing up where to concentrate your budget and timescale. I want to save you money wherever possible and have stopped clients from wasting thousands on unnecessary updates. I can also suggest ideas for new bedding, soft furnishings, plants etc. that create the wow factor and that you can take to your next place.​
​
If you've had a bad selling experience in the past, the thought of going back on the market can be particularly daunting. Nobody wants to spend a fortune on somewhere they're leaving, and I'll show you how to make the most of the existing furniture, decor and accessories; decluttering and depersonalising usually come into it too, as you can see from my before and after photos.

Staging statistics
Home staging, also known as property presentation, is a marketing technique that mixes also combines elements of design and psychology. Wherever you are in the UK, and however big or small your property, I can help get you moving: here's some numbers, there's more below: 50% of those who invest in staging their home sell for 4-6% more, 25% for 1-3% more and 25% for 11-15% more.*
​​​
Because it's not yet widespread in the UK, those who invest in home staging can't help but stand out from their competition down the road, who might do a quick Hoover and tidy-up and hope for the best.
