Peony Property Staging

Peony Property Staging can help you gain maximum proﬁt and a shorter sale period when your house is placed on the real estate market. Your home is often the biggest ﬁnancial investment you will make in your lifetime. It makes sense to present it in a way that appeals to the maximum amount of people in your target market.

Home staging can help create an emotional response in the potential buyer which helps you gain maximum value. It is more than just cushions and lamps, although I am partial to a good cushion! It is really about minimising the negatives of house, those things that potential buyers will use as an excuse NOT to buy your house and maximise the amazing things about your house. Those things that when that potential buyer sees, they say WOW, I need this house now and I don’t want anybody else to buy it!

Home staging in Newcastle and Central Coast. Offering consultations, accessories, soft furnishing and furniture hire. Member of HSRA & grad of IIHS.
