What to Expect from Your Staging Consultation

Our 60-minute Property Edit is a rapid-fire, room-by-room walkthrough designed to identify the high-impact changes that will make your home 'market-ready' quickly. You will receive an Action Plan summary with clear priorities to take the stress out of preparing your home for the first impressions of potential buyers.

  • First Impressions: Optimising the entry, kerb appeal and the first 30 seconds of the viewing.

  • Spatial Flow: Assessing each room to maximise the sense of floor space and flow between rooms.

  • Editing & Styling: Guidance on de-personalising and styling to broaden buyer appeal.

  • Maximising View Points: with most buyers first impression being through Daft.ie and MyHome.ie photography, the views and sightlines for the photographer must capture the eye.

  • Lighting Audit: A review of light quality and warmth to create atmosphere.

  • Decluttering & Storage: Refining what is on show for viewings and how to manage storage.

FAQs

How do I prepare my home for sale in Kilkenny?

The best way to prepare to sell your home is to put yourself in the mind of a buyer. This can be difficult and an objective opinion and professional advice are essential to avoid costly improvements that may not impact the final selling price.

When it is difficult to know how to start, we can provide a consultation to identify what priorities should be addressed, what minor edits can take place and to allow you to focus on moving forward.

Is home staging worth it for Irish properties?

Home staging is a process whereby a designer will source furniture and accessories for hire, in order to improve the presentation of your property for market. It can significantly improve final selling prices but it can also be costly.

We offer a 60-90 minute in-person consultation to identify where best to put your efforts while preparing to sell.

What is a property edit consultation?

The Property Edit is a customised 60-90 minute consultation where you will receive practical advice and professional guidance on preparing your home for selling. It includes a review of first impressions, kerb appeal, spacial allowances, styling, decluttering and minor improvements.

You will receive a written report that highlights the primary improvements along with detailed steps for maximising the home’s selling potential and presentation.

How can I make my house look better for photos without buying more?

The most difficult aspect of preparing your home for sale is stepping back and seeing change. Usually a number of small changes make the biggest impact in improving how a property photographs and is received by buyers and the market. However, without experience, it can quickly become a never-ending list of work that delays getting listed.
