Question 1

What is home staging and why is it important?

Accepted Answer

Home staging is the process of preparing your property for sale by styling it with furniture and décor to highlight its best features. At Castle & Co Property Styling, we focus on creating a space that appeals to a wide range of buyers, helping them emotionally connect with your home—which can lead to faster sales and higher offers.

Question 2

How much does home staging cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost varies depending on the size of your home and the level of styling required. We offer flexible packages ranging from partial styling (using your existing furniture) to full home staging for vacant properties. After a consultation, we provide a tailored, obligation-free quote to suit your needs.

Question 3

Do I need to remove all my furniture?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. We offer partial staging services where we work with your existing furniture and enhance it with carefully selected pieces and styling elements. If your property is vacant or needs a full transformation, we can provide complete furniture and décor packages.

Question 4

How long is the staging hire period?

Accepted Answer

Our standard staging packages include an 8-week hire period, which typically aligns with most sales campaigns. If your property requires a longer timeframe, we can discuss extension options to suit your situation.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

We are based in Bangalow in the Northern Rivers region and service areas within a 50km radius, including Byron Bay and surrounding suburbs. For locations outside this range, we can tailor a delivery package to accommodate your project.

Question 7

Will staging really increase my sale price?

Accepted Answer

While results can vary, industry research shows that staged homes have a significantly higher chance of selling faster and can increase property value by 1%–15%. Our goal is to maximise your home’s appeal and help you achieve the best possible outcome.

Question 8

What types of properties do you stage?

Accepted Answer

We stage a wide range of properties, including apartments, family homes, investment properties, and luxury residences. Each project is styled to suit the target market and highlight the home’s unique features.

Question 9

What happens if my property doesn’t sell within the hire period?

Accepted Answer

If your property is still on the market after the initial hire period, we offer flexible extensions so your home remains styled and ready for inspections. We’ll work with you to ensure continuity throughout your campaign.
