When it comes to selling your home, first impressions matter! In a competitive market, making your property stand out is crucial, particularly if you want to attract a higher offer, and that’s where home staging comes in. At Shinerocks Estate Agents we offer unparalleled expertise in preparing homes for sale, ensuring you achieve the price you deserve for your property in Purley, Croydon and Surrey.
Home staging is the art of presenting your home in the best possible light to attract potential buyers. It involves decluttering, arranging furniture, and adding stylish touches to make your property more appealing.
Paul Shinerock, the driving force behind Shinerocks, says “A well-staged home can make a significant difference, not only in attracting more viewers but also in achieving a higher sale price. We know this because it’s been proven time and again. A great example is an unmodernised property we listed at offers in excess of £600k, which saw remarkable success. The property sold for an impressive £715k through a combination of effective home staging and our other secret ingredient – an open house event!”
Paul has an eye for detail that developed from a young age! His journey began within his father's successful 'loose covers' business, where he honed his skills in interiors. Paul then enjoyed huge success in the fashion industry, further refining his meticulous attention to detail. His expertise is now channelled into preparing homes for sale, ensuring they look their best and every aspect of your home is considered for potential buyers.
Paul is passionate about helping homeowners present their properties in their best light, and offers free advice on decluttering and home staging, ensuring your property in Croydon, Purley and Surrey is market ready.
Paul says: “Preparing your property for sale shouldn’t be a hassle! Our free advice on home staging and preparation is, in our opinion, unequalled. Whether you’re preparing for professional photographs or an open house, we can help you dress your property to impress.
If your property has been on the market without generating interest, or if you’ve had viewings but no offers, it could be time to rethink your home’s presentation. Our expert advice can make all the difference, adding both saleability and value to your property.”
And there’s more! Always ready to assist, Paul also offers a genius, and rather unique, service known as 'The Angel on the Doorstep' with the aim of fixing any small maintenance issues with your property that could potentially impact on viewings or offers, ensuring everything is in shape before your home hits the market.
For properties in Surrey requiring more than just a declutter and a lick of paint, Shinerocks works closely with Nicky Burrows, a talented interior designer who has dressed show homes for developers. Nicky’s expert home staging service is available on request, providing professional interior styling that can transform your home and make it irresistible to buyers.
As mentioned, one of the standout features of Shinerocks’ service is the power of an open house viewing event. This, combined with home staging, ensures the marketing of your property reaches another level, and can create a fantastic buzz around your home.
So, how is the buzz created? Prior to the arranged open day, Shinerocks prepare full-colour property details and mail them to their extensive database of applicants. Additionally, your home will be featured on major property portals, including Rightmove and OnTheMarket to ensure maximum exposure and interest in your property.
Usually, viewings are scheduled between 10 am and 12 noon on a Saturday, aiming to streamline the viewing process. This approach has consistently led to successful sales, with almost every property marketed this way finding a buyer quickly.
On the day of the open house, our experienced team meet prospective buyers, oversee all viewings, answer any questions and offer advice. We follow up with all prospective buyers in the afternoon and provide a full update on the Monday. This comprehensive approach ensures no stone is left unturned during the marketing and sale of your home.
The Shinerocks name has been synonymous with excellence in the local business community for over 50 years. Our estate agency is firmly established, offering an unrivalled service that includes social media, local and national advertising, and the latest technology. From our initial valuation of your home to the completion of the sale, our dedicated team is involved every step of the way, ensuring your home’s potential is maximized.
