First impressions count and looks matter whether we like to admit it or not. Home staging not only helps to sell your home faster but also attracts more buyers that are willing to put an offer on the table.

… View moreFirst impressions count and looks matter whether we like to admit it or not. Home staging not only helps to sell your home faster but also attracts more buyers that are willing to put an offer on the table.
Here’s how the experts present their homes before entering the market:
1. Keep it clean and crisp
Remember your mum telling you to tidy your room? Well those days have spent as you need to create a home that is clean and neutral. The goal of home staging is to get buyers to mentally move in when they visit, but that’s difficult if it’s full of all your own stuff. Take the time to remove family photos and other personal items from your home too, as these can distract viewers from what your home really has to offer.
Be ruthless!
2. Create points of interest
A perfectly placed piece of furniture, plant or artwork in a hallway, awkward corner or at the top of a set of stairs can create a point of visual interest and encourage visitors to investigate further.
Points of interest are a great tool to add symmetry and balance to each room, it’s about showing the viewer the potential of the home and helping them visualise what it can be.
3. Balance is good
Studies have shown that humans find symmetrical and balanced arrangements more aesthetically pleasing—from art to faces and food—and yes, even how we arrange our furniture. Move your lounge furniture away from the walls and pair up movable furniture, such as your chairs, lamps, and side tables. If something doesn’t match try pairing it with something of similar size to balance the room out.
4. Each room needs a signature
Every room has its own distinct feature. It could be a fireplace, a different coloured wall, a piece of furniture, a window, or an artwork or mirror. Once you’ve found your feature, celebrate it and emphasise it.
5. Know your audience
Every good entertainer knows what their audience wants and how to give it to them. Think about the features that will help buyers to visualise the lifestyle they might lead in your home. A table and chairs for a family on the deck, a secluded reading chair in the sun, or a minimalist kitchen can all help sell a viewer on a different lifestyle—it’s important to understand what buyers are looking for and how they see themselves in your home which could soon be theirs.
Remember, think about your location and it’s context. Is it mostly families, working professionals, students or seniors? Use that information to guide your staging decisions. If you’re struggling for ideas a estate agent can always help with this.

Me and my 7 yr old son bought our Rayban sunglasses and was happy to have it for only a short time. As almost all shoppers attitudes, we inspect the goods that we bought only after we paid for it and left the store for the reason that we are confident enough to do that attitude as you put your trust to these legitimate businesses that all their products are in good condition at the time of purchase. But this Sunglass hut outlet at The Base, Te Awa prove it wrong when we complained that the Rayban sunglass we bought has several scratches on it. Instead, the salesperson sarcastically accused my son of dropping the sunglass and denied an exchange of the product. In fact, my son's first try to use it is when we are still buying it and didn't use it elsewhere as we haven't left the shopping mall. I feel that the salesperson had taken advantage on us as there is an immediate decision to accuse us when we complain on the faulty product. To make the story short, we end up going home unhappy and unsatified with this outlet has done to us and will never recommend or buy again.

Xbox 360 games, as pictured. There are six PG/M games, which can go for $20 altogether (or $5 each); two R13 games ($5 together); and five R16 games ($20 altogether).
Happy to take $60 for the whole lot if anyone wants it all.
