Have you ever wondered why some homes hit the market and seemingly vanish overnight? Getting your property ready for sale can be a daunting task but we’ve recently had great success with two homes, turning the sales process into a quick and lucrative endeavour. One was a busy family home in Bayswater and the other was an empty Highgate apartment.

Bayswater home: From a lived-in space to a dream abode
Our first success story involves the transformation of 15a Rosebery Street in Bayswater where a family of four (including two pre-teen girls) needed to sell promptly to align with their new home purchase in Nedlands. The challenge was to make the home irresistible to potential buyers while seamlessly managing the day-to-day life of the family and not making the sales process too disruptive.

We initiated the staging process by decluttering and adopting the ‘less is more’ principle. Repurposing rooms strategically, such as transforming a study into a bedroom, proved to be a game-changer. We also replaced some furniture and added carefully chosen finishing touches to elevate the ambiance of each room. Our client painted and patched the home’s walls, had the windows cleaned and brought in a legion of luscious plants for the outdoor pool area.

A busy home open weekend ensued, drawing in over eighty groups on both Saturday and Sunday. The property received a staggering 16 offers, all above the appraisal range. The key to our success? A collaborative effort with the homeowners, meticulous attention to detail, and a strategic pricing approach.

Highgate apartment: From empty to lived-in
Our second success took place at 8/337 Lord St Highgate which was a vacant investment property. Unlike our previous sale in the same complex, which coincided with the early days of COVID and a slow market, this time the property market was buzzing.

The turnaround was swift – the tenants handed back the keys and, in just a day, we transformed the empty home. Multiple offers flooded in and the property sold over a single weekend – both the sellers and us were astounded.

We feel that what sets us apart is not just our ability to stage and sell homes quickly; it’s our commitment to making a difference and adding genuine value to our clients’ home sale prices.
