Never has there been a time when home staging is more relevant and sought-after than RIGHT NOW. The popularity of reality TV shows such as “The Block”, “Fixer Upper”, “Love It or List It” and countless others, have been game-changers in shaping buyer perceptions in New Zealand.
Living in Canterbury, I’m finding an increasing number of Christchurch and Selwyn District homeowners are hiring home stagers and home stylists. The bar has certainly been raised.
What do my clients say?
We used iTransform Homes to stage our rental home ready to sell. We found the furniture and accessories used by Heather made a huge difference to the look of the house and showed up beautifully in the photos taken for the sale advertisement. Heather came back a couple of times to add items and we couldn’t fault the style of “classic and homely”.
We would definitely recommend iTransform Homes for home staging and would absolutely use Heather’s services again.

Heather has staged a number of homes for my clients over the last few years. She communicates well, is straight forward to deal with and I know I can trust her to do the best possible job for them.
Some people have an obvious passion for what they do and Heather is one of those people. She also has a real flair for interior design and her work does transform homes as she rightly claims.
You’ll have to go a long way to find someone better than Heather.

The business name says it all. Heather’s friendly professional approach provides results that not only speak for themselves but take away the stress when preparing to sell one of your most valued assets, your home. A four-month marketing plan to sell my home was reduced to ten days. Amazing! With an eye for detail, quality house furnishings and a flair for creating that warm home ambient feeling, I didn’t want to sell when I saw the finished results. Value for money well spent to “optimise” the best result for you. I would highly recommend Heather’s services to all. 🙂

Home staging in 2022
During (and beyond) 2022, you simply won’t see successful agents showing empty white boxes or poorly presented property to potential buyers. To maximise the opportunity of a house hitting its reserve or sale price, it really needs to create that WOW factor. It is not enough to base properties on the market value at the time. The educated buyer of today wants to see a completed product and high-quality staging has become a must-have-tool in the toolbox of many sellers, agents, developers and investors.
Post Covid-19, property market dynamics are rapidly changing as they move through cycles. It is therefore vital for sellers to do everything possible to ensure the value of their property stands out from the competition. To be the house that has a specific appeal, style and look, attracting offers because buyers fall in love. In a nutshell, we are living in times where sellers must ensure that their home presentation and staging is top-notch. There is no question that those who engage in some aspects of home staging are more likely to quickly sell for top dollar and secure their asking price.
iTransform Homes looks forward to transforming your home from potential into perfection to reach your goal of a successful and profitable home sale. I’m always happy to help so feel free to message, phone or email me for an appointment.
