Testimonials

Karen Kelly, Director of secrets2sell says that the art to home staging is to reduce clutter and place the focus on the more attractive features of a room in order to distract the buyer's eye from the less attractive features.

In the past, when you wanted to sell your home you would simply call an agent, do some tidying, and have a "for sale" sign put up. With today's choosy buyers, you need to do more than that if you want to achieve the best offer for your home. Buyers expect more, they are savvy and expect bang for their buck!

Staging homes for sale is simply smart marketing. You wouldn't go to a job interview in your pyjamas, right? So why would you put your home on the market without getting it dressed first?

Alison from Eton

One client's home at Eton just west of Mackay sat on the market for 2 years with only a handful of inspections. The owners had made a commitment elsewhere and were getting frustrated with not being able to move ahead with their new life. Karen was hired to stage their home in a bid to get it sold. The very next couple to inspect post-staging bought it!

"We loved the changes Karen made to our home, it was really exciting to witness how easily she transformed it. It's exactly what we wanted to do but didn't know how. I only wish we had Karen come stage our home right from the start!"

Charlie and Lorraine from Glenella

These clients at Glenella were desperate to move to Tasmania and have their family around them.  Their home had a couple of ghastly flaws and had been sitting on the market for what seemed like an eternity to them. They were aware of these flaws in the kitchen and bathroom but had no idea how to fix them without spending a fortune. Karen showed them how to address these issues economically and now they live in Tassie with their families.

"We are an old fashioned couple and were sceptical about how home staging could possibly benefit us.  Our agent introduced us to Karen and once she explained what we needed to do we were keen to help and we felt at ease with her in our home.  We were so excited with the changes and amazed at how different our home looked. Thanks Karen you are an angel to our rescue!"
