Even if a property has good bones or beautiful architectural details, it is hard to feel a connection to an empty space. Buyers buy with their eyes and hearts. Getting that initial wow reaction from buyers online is half the battle won. Gorgeous photos attract buyers to make enquiries, which leads to footsteps... and offers.​Sellers sometimes wonder if they can afford to stage. The better question might be: can you afford not to stage?Think about holding costs - mortgage, insurance, house and garden maintenance, rates and taxes, alarms...And then think about the emotional stress of not selling.Not to mention the overexposure your property faces after a few months. And the inevitable "Price reduced".Staged properties sell three times faster. And often for more. Yes, it's an investment. One with an excellent return on investment.​​​​

ORANJEZICHT
2 OFFERS IN TWO WEEKS, R50 K MORE!

The seller had heard about the power of home staging and so was determined to stage. My kind of seller! She painted and revamped the small garden, which makes a huge difference. I was lying on the beach when I got the best kind of message: Thanks to your wonderful staging, we've got a second offer already and it's much more than we expected!

KARI PETERS, SELLER

TOKAI
SOLD IN A WEEK

These sellers live in the USA where home staging is well known. They painted, got the carpets cleaned and I helped a bit with the garden and voila! The agent and seller were thrilled with the speed and price achieved.

Wow, Liesa! Your home staging added 10% to the value of  the property!

CLAREMONT
SOLD TO FIRST VIEWER ON FIRST DAY

Another fabulous agent I often work with, Mary Davidson from Pam Golding Properties, brought me in to stage after the tenants left. It turned out brilliantly for everyone. The first person to see it online hurried over and bought it on the spot.

Yup! It's SOLD. Thanks to your skills. Almost got seller's remorse because it looks so good.

FRESNAYE
SOLD BEFORE THE FIRST SHOW DAY

This sweet house was on the market for two years on and off, with no movement.

We staged on the Monday and it was sold by the weekend.

I've been so excited to message you because we got an offer on Saturday before we could do the show day! We are so thankful.

BIG BAY
SOLD BEFORE PHOTOS WENT UP

The owner lives abroad and knew about home staging. This little townhouse had to beat out quite a lot of competition in Big Bay to be the one noticed and chosen. It sold before the agent had time to take photos to a buyer who happened to be considering another townhouse in this complex, and fell in the love with this one.

I have some good news. I had buyers buy the property before it went online. Thanks for your lovely staging.

HAYDEN COLLINGWOOD, SELLER

ORANJEZICHT
SOLD BEFORE SHOW DAY FOR FULL ASKING PRICE

The seller was living in Mauritius during Covid and couldn't come to Cape Town to manage the sale of her late father's property. She was a bit sceptical of staging, but boy, did she become a believer when it went before the first show day for full asking.

I'm crying tears of joy. The house sold on the first listing day for the asking price!

TAMBOERSKLOOF
SOLD IN 14 DAYS, FULL ASKING

This was one of the first projects I did with this agency. We've since worked together a lot, with great results. This property went in two weeks for the full asking price.

NOORDHOEK
RENTED IN 30 DAYS

The developer had tailor-made this house for a buyer and the sale fell through. He needed to sell or rent it quickly, which it did.

I got a very good rental as a result of your staging. I'm very happy. Thank you!

MARK TAMES, SELLER and DEVELOPER

SIMONSTOWN
STAGED FOR MARKETING BROCHURE

Retirement developments often have several units open at one time and need to attract suitable buyers. I staged this three-bedroom sea front apartment  as well as a studio apartment for a marketing brochure.

ALL 19 UNITS SOLD IN 4 MONTHS

This was Phase 1 of a large project and the developer needed to recoup its outlay pronto. I'm thrilled that all the units sold so fast.

I just had to let you know that all 19 sold out in Phase 1! We are so relieved and  happy.

ELME RABE, WILDE OLIVE ESTATES

MOWBRAY
SOLD IN 30 DAYS

An oldie with pretty features, but dated bathrooms and an almost non-existent kitchen made this a hard sell. It was on the market for two months before I staged it, and sold just before the 30 day contract was up.

I love my beautiful new house! I wouldn't have seen its possibilities if it hadn't been staged.

TAMBOERSKLOOF
TWO OFFERS AFTER STAGING

This property is really pretty but buyers just couldn't see that when it was empty. After a few months with no interest, I staged it. It look classy and sexy. Within a few weeks, it received one (conditional) offer and one fabulous cash offer.

FRESNAYE
OFFER IN 30 DAYS. SOLD.

The sale of this one made me really happy. The agent called me to find out about staging but the owners declined. Almost a year and scores of viewings later, the deceased estate was still not sold. The living areas were huge and no one could imagine what to do with them. We did. The property got a good offer in the first month and after some negotiation, sold.

I'm so excited we have sold the house thanks to your beautiful staging. It really helped buyers see how to use the huge open plan area.

MICHELLE APPERLEY, REMAX

HERMANUS DEVELOPMENT
6 SOLD IN TWO WEEKS

Sales of this development in Hermanus had reached a plateau. The apartments are small and have quite basic finishes. Our staging showed that double beds in both bedrooms are possible, and that you can even fit a decent size round dining table. The developer opted to buy the furniture from me so it can move from unit to unit.

WOODSTOCK
SOLD IN A WEEK

This house turned out beautifully. It's an oldie in a slightly dodgy street, so making it irresistible was imperative. Doesn't that kitchen look inviting!

I didn't expect action this soon! The staging was instrumental in selling the house.

CHRISTINE DE VILLIERS, SELLER

CONSTANTIA
7 OFFERS. WOW!

The owners wanted to emigrate and had tried selling the property over a few years. The clever agent felt that the owners' furniture and layout was not showing it off at its best, so we rejigged the design and brought in some new cushions and accessories for photos. The house had a servitude which made it tricky to sell but it attracted a lot of offers in a short space of time and the owners were able to move on with their lives.

We are so relieved we sold. We're a bit unprepared for what happens next because we weren't sure if it would sell. It looked fantastic.

STUART CORRIGALL, SELLER

NEWLANDS 
SOLD IN 30 DAYS

This property has quite an industrial look and feel which was not turning buyers on. My staging focussed on making it warm and welcoming, showing the full potential of the property. The seller was delighted.

I only wish I'd known about staging before! Our home was getting no traction at all when it was empty. It's been a huge success.

JEANRI TYNE, SELLER

The seller only received one poor offer when the property was empty and wanted to achieve a better price. After staging, she received a great offer from the perfect family.

RENTED IN A WEEK

The seller did a fabulous renovation and knew that quality home staging would make all the difference. Although she didn't intend to rent, she got such a great offer in the first week that she happily decided to go for it.

GREENPOINT
SOLD IN A WEEK

The seller had tried to sell the property empty the previous year. There were no takers. She rented it out for a year with disastrous results. After the tenant left, I staged it. It looked beyond fabulous and was snapped up immediately.

I just want to thank you for your magnificent job. It's sad to say goodbye to what was my family home growing up, but I'm thrilled we sold so quickly and for a great cash offer.

ZOE VAN ROOYEN, SELLER

FRANSCHOEK
SOLD IN 3 WEEKS

The agent is also an interior decorator. She wanted to make sure that buyers perceived the value of the empty loft as a third bedroom, so asked me to stage just that space. It made all the difference to buyers' perception of value, and sold quickly.

I knew you were the right person to transform this storage space into a beautiful bedroom, in the same style as the rest of the house. Thank you! It made all the difference.

TAMRYN HEYWOOD, AGENT

GARDENS
TRANFORMED FROM OFFICES TO VICTORIAN HOME

This house was quite a challenge as it had been operating as a disconnected series of offices. On my advice, the seller stripped the carpets to reveal beautiful wooden floors, replaced the neon lights with period chandeliers and painted. It received an offer in the first week, which was rejected, and shortly after received a better offer. My decor played a big part in the sale, so much so that the buyer has asked me to furnish the home after transfer.

This is the first time I've used a home stager and I am so impressed! I'm going to recommend you to all my colleagues. This house would not have attracted the attention it did without your beautiful staging.
