Styling your home for sale, with Jackie from Feather My Nest. Hi Jackie, please share with us the history of your business. I started Feather My Nest in 2013 after an agent visited our home to give us an appraisal, and commented on how beautifully our home was presented. They noticed I had a natural creative talent and flair for property styling and suggested I should become a home stager. I didn’t know exactly what that was so I Googled what was involved and quickly realised it was something I’d be really interested in. So I enrolled in the course and the rest as they say is history! I love my job and most importantly, I love transforming my client’s properties to help them achieve the best possible price for their biggest asset.
What services do you provide? We offer three main services. The first is a pre-sale consultation. This is ideal for clients who just need a bit of guidance and may wish to get their home “sale ready” themselves. We walk through the property and make suggestions around de-cluttering, painting, repairs, lighting, window coverings and lots more! Secondly, we offer partial styling. Sometimes our customers have furniture that they are happy with but feel that they need a professional eye to achieve that polished look they are after. We then provide soft furnishings and key pieces to bring everything together to really excite buyers.
Finally, we offer the full styling package. This is a total solution. We design a custom look that best suits the home and prepare an obligation free quote for the owner’s approval. We bring furniture, artwork, rugs, lighting and accessories, transforming the home into one that will truly inspire potential buyers.
What are your top 5 tips when styling a property? Styling your property is a great way to have your property stand out to buyers. We know buyers make a decision on whether the property is right for them within moments of viewing, so creating that great “first impression” is a must, especially in the current highly competitive market. My top five style tips are: 1. De-clutter: This allows buyers to focus on the space and not your “stuff”. 2.
Fix it: Make sure that everything in the home is in good working order. Fix items like dripping taps, peeling paint, blown light bulbs and torn fly screens.
3. Clean it: Your property needs to be spotless and sparkling both inside and out! 4. Street appeal: It’s your 24/7 billboard. Many potential buyers will drive-by your property before even deciding if they want to see inside, so make sure it looks amazing from the street! 5.
Presentation: Great presentation really is the key to a successful sales result. You want to create spaces that are warm and inviting so buyers fall head over heels and imagine themselves living in your property.
I hear you have won some awards? Yes, last year I was a finalist in the HIA Brisbane Property Styling category and then went on to win the HIA Queensland property stylist award! It was a great thrill. Just recently I was again a finalist in the Brisbane Property stylist of the year for 2016.
