The climate for selling property has changed

The climate for selling property has changed as we all know. Where it used to be enough to just put your property up for sale with a good and experienced agent and you would secure a great result. It is no longer enough if you want to get the best possible price for your property.

  The global financial situation is still unstable with predictions by the experts contradicting each other. Either way the real estate industry has forever changed and to achieve the best price for your property you have to go the extra mile and put in the effort.

 Realise your property's full potential and maximise the sales price. Use the tools of property styling by a professional or do it yourself, it will be worth it for the extra return you get.

Property styling is about preparing your home for sale in a way that will increase the eventual sales price. The stylists use styling techniques and careful selection of beautiful pieces of furniture and homewares to bring out the best in your home. We want to sell the lifestyle to the buyers and get them really excited about your home

I am compiling these resources on my sharonfordkiama.blogspot.com  for any vendor or client that can find them useful. Having been in the industry all these years I have seen first hand what difference it makes for a sale when a property have been set up to maximise the outcome. Hope you find it useful!

Lighting really makes a difference

5 Things I Love

If you want some inspiration for some products you can use for a quick makeover you should pop in to the Beachside Emporium in Kiama! Whenever I go there I get so many new ideas for my home and I can't help myself, but I always walk out with a little something for my home. I thought I'd show you 5 things I love in the shop at the moment.

5 Things I love in my house....

Nana's bowl

This was my Nana's mums bowl (great grandma's), it was one of Grandma's wedding presents. I was very brave one night and called my nan and asked her what was the most special thing that she loved most of all, hence it was the bowl which she later gave to me before she passed away. 

If I had a fire this apart from my family would be the only thing i would take with me. It means so much to me, scary to think all the other things I own are mostly just stuff.

My oven

This was our indulgence, I just love this oven, I like cooking up a storm for my friends and family.

Salt and Pepper

I got these from Vietnam for $3.50, how cute are they salt n pepper bowls, cool as! My regret is that i didn't buy a dozen sets and give them to all my friends

Framed 

My daughter gave me this card for my birthday and I loved it so much that i framed it!! So very me! Nothing like a great party I say :)

The crystal set

I have always wanted one of these dressing table sets, so old fashioned but beautiful. I got this one from the Op shop. Love ops shops, however I never seem to have enough time to go out and find treasures.

5 Things I love at work

Job satisfaction

I love helping people make a move, whether it is moving house or moving forward it is great to share the journey with clients and friends.

Flexibility

The flexibility and freedom my job provides, it's important for me to maintain balance. I am always available for my clients, they can get me on the phone at most hours of the day, whilst I can still pick up my daughter from school and take her to her activities.

Clients 

Building long term relationships and customers for life is a great bonus with my job. Negotiating and getting the very best price possible for my vendors gives me a kick and builds on that competitive streak I pretend I don't have but somehow always seems to pop up.

My team 

I love my team at the Ray White Kiama office, they are awesome.

Tech tool

And last but not least I love my iPhone, how did we ever get by before iPhones I wonder.
