Happy Clients

Selling and buying a house and a home is a very stressful experience. Steve made this process for us (almost) a pleasure! He guided us with humour and a professional manner from listing to ensuring the money made our bank. Nothing was ever a problem. We would have no hesitation at all in having Steve look after our property requirements again. We regularly make reference to friends and contacts of Steve’s service and performance. We now have a great relationship and friendship from selling both ours and our parents homes through Steve and we would not hesitate to have Steve assist us again with any real estate matter. Steve operates with integrity and complete transparency. Selling and buying a home is a very stressful experience. Steve made this process for us (almost) a pleasure! He guided us with humour and a professional manner from listing to ensuring the money made our bank. Nothing was ever a problem. We can not thank Steve enough for his commitment and we are now happily settled in our new home.

David and Kirsty Craig

“Before I listed my property with Steve he had already put a plan together for me, this was very encouraging. Steve also liaised with me frequently throughout the process. The information and advice given was thorough and really helpful. Steve has great people skills and his approach was professional but personal. I felt like I was the only person Steve was working for. I got updates within 30mins of the open homes closing. Amazing. At auction time he was there giving me support. Steve turned what I expected to be a nightmare into a good experience and I would use him again, and recommend him highly. Thanks for everything Steve.”

Lynette Jacobs

“Steve sold by Auction a house in Meadowbank for me and as I’m living in Christchurch he managed the doing up, garden clearance, staging and getting the property ready for market and then the marketing and subsequent sale at auction. I flew up once when the tenants moved out to make a plan with Steve and the builder at the house and then once for the auction. The process was easy, pleasant, supportive and problem free. I would highly recommend Steve to any friend or colleague and wouldn’t hesitate to engage him again.”

Janet Whinnery

Steve recently sold our property in Fancourt St, Meadowbank within five days of listing. Steve initially provided us with useful advice during the pre-sale process to assist us in preparing the property. Importantly, he was prepared to take on board and work with our preferences for the sales process.Throughout the negotiations with third parties and in our dealings with him we found him to be highly professional, patient, honest, hard working and determined to obtain the best result. We highly recommend Steve to anyone seeking an agent with these qualities - and a top result.

As expected, there was a fantastic turn-out at the auction for this two level, ex-state home.

We had six qualified buyers on the day, four actively bidding.

The property sold under the hammer for $965,000. An excellent result for our vendors. The buyers are looking forward to owning this home that has so much potential and stunning views!

Home Staging has become increasingly popular with vendors. Here, Home Stager, Janine King, gives you some professional tips on what you can do yourself!

Home Staging 101 by

Janine King “Beautify a room that is

aspirational so buyers can see

themselves living in it” Janine Ki ng

Rearrange with the goal to visually lighten & balance.  Keep heavy furniture away from the entry of each area by spreading the weight equally around the room. Pull the couches 15cm out from the wall to create flow. Include a glass top coffee table to create the effect of more space and remove window coverings altogether creating a more light and an architectural feel. Adding a large floor rug will divide an open plan room.

Improve your home’s traffic flow. How you move smoothly through your space has a big effect on

how big your home is perceived. The movement should have a nice wide feel to the path taking you

through from each room to the next. Declutter the entryway (no hanging coats).

In small spaces, only the things you access daily should be in full view. Add fresh flowers and pops of colour to a neutral table setting with 2 matching vases and invest in similar toned matching cushions and paintings. For further help, contact Janine, info@marketing-edge.co.nz

27

Sumptuous bed linens in soft colours will make a potential home buyer want to sit back and relax. Add cushions with a pop of colour to existing neutrals with this spring’s tones of blue, turquoise and yellow. Quickly check before your open home to ensure coverings are smoothed down and pillows are fluffed up.

“Beautify a room that is

aspirational so buyers can see

themselves living in it” Janine Ki ng

Keep kitchen counters clear and add punches of colour with fresh fruit and seasonal flowers in crisp, clean glass vases. Stainless steel chattels help sell your home. Remove fingerprints by rubbing down your dishwasher and fridge with baby oil and cotton wool pads (an old TV set staging trick!).
