Homes professionally styled for sale typically attract higher sale prices. From 2.5% to some agents stating even higher, up to 15%. This will cover the cost of a property styling service.

When to splurge vs when to save : decorating
Decorating a new home or apartment can be expensive. Not to mention, it’s hard to have a passion for interior design but not a budget for it. I’ve learned that while there is always an expensive version of something, there’s always a dupe for ir or DIY hack. However, there are some things that are worth the splurge and other things you don’t need to spend much money on at all.
We wanted to share our thoughts on where to save your dollars...

Firstly, regardless of how fabulous your furniture and possessions are, because they are yours, it is almost impossible to be objective. A professional will see the space, enhance and highlight the best features of your home and choose the pieces that appeal to a wider audience.
And that, after all, is what you want, to appeal to a wider audience and sell that property! The more potential buyers that are interested in your home will create a bidding war and elevate the final sales price.
