Get it Styled and Get it Sold!

Valiant — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 22:41:09 +0000

OK , so the weather in Sydney isn’t the best for Summer and our northern and southern neighbours may also be experiencing interesting weather cycles however daily life goes on!
We often read less than positive stories in the media each day however the fact remains that people are still selling and people are still buying.
Although the interest rates have gone up slightly, the fixed rates have remained stable or dropped. This provides people with stability for the next 3,4 or 5 years depending on their term.
The property styling industry is seeing a renewed energy as the year starts to move on.
Good properties in good areas will always sell however it is up to the owner and agent to make sure that they sell for the best possible return.
Valiant Furniture Hire and Valiant Hire Property Styling are two of the best ways to ensure that your property is seen in its best possible light. It is an investment that will help you get the best possible result. Remember, your property is up against others that have been styled!
If you don’t style, there is a good chance that your house will be slower to sell or that you will attract a lower price than the competition.
Homes are still purchased with emotion. You have to create the dream, sell the lifestyle as well as the property.
All you need to do is have a look around and see what else is on the market, walk into the other properties, see how they feel. Ask yourself, does my property feel this good ?
It is amazing what a good clean and tidy, a coat of fresh paint and professional property styling can do.
Whether you are an agent or an owner, you should look into property styling.
Give your property the edge it needs in this market, Get it Styled and Get it Sold !

Science behind the Chair

Valiant — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 04:12:06 +0000

Every day most of us rest our behinds on an office chair of some description. I would guess that most of us don’t give a second thought to what went into the making of it.
Even after all these years of manufacturing, the research and development still continues.
One of our popular lines at Valiant Hire, the Zody by Haworth, can be seen in the attached video.( It isn’t a long video so it won’t take too much time, but it is worth watching to understand just some of the effort that goes into making these comfortable chairs.)
Perhaps you should hire one for a while and see how different you feel after using a great chair.
Short or long term, we can help you out in Sydney,Brisbane and Melbourne (and of course the surrounding areas).

And it starts all over again…

Well it appears that the Christmas holidays are all but over for most of the workforce. Phones are ringing and the email inbox is starting expand again. (If you are lucky enough to still be on holidays – we envy you )
A lot of Property Styling jobs have gone out this week as people prepare for the summer selling period.
This is encouraging not only for us at Valiant Hire but also for our friends in the Real Estate sector. There are still some amazing properties out there and when shown to their full potential with home staging or property styling they are commanding fair and decent prices.
If you are thinking of putting your property on the market make sure you have a chat to one of our friendly teams in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane who will be able to offer you a package deal that will help you achieve your sales goal.
Have a look at some of the recent styling in Melbourne by Valiant Hire in the video below.

Property Styling over Summer – it can really work.

Valiant — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 00:06:13 +0000

Traditionally, people seem to believe that property sales slow down over the Christmas holiday period. Whilst it is statistically proven that the number of buyers looking reduces, it is also known that those who are looking are serious buyers.
In the time poor world we live in, people are now using their time with their family to look for a new home or even buy a holiday home whilst they are on their Christmas break.
We have seen a higher number of Real Estate Agents email us this year saying they will only be closed for the Public Holidays, showing that they are also strong believers that the buyers are out there.
At the end of the day, you only need 1 “right buyer” to sell your property so why risk not having your property styled.
Check out our website for more details on our Property Styling services in NSW, Victoria and Queensland.
If you don’t style your property you could miss out on that important buyer!

Display Village Styling the Valiant Hire way !

Valiant — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 01:58:26 +0000

We know that you are aware of our Property Styling services however you might not know that we also furnish many of the Display Villages that you have seen. Display furniture is an important part of a home builder’s marketing plan.
The challenge is to have the property appealing for a broad target market. Our designers meet with the builders and discuss in depth the needs of their customers and the styles of furniture that would best suit the market.
Valiant Hire has been providing quality furniture hire for these long term customers for many years now and is also able to build custom packages to really make each display home stand out from the crowd.
There is a sneak peak at an upcoming village below. Make sure you keep an eye on future blog posts when we release the next houses and their pictures.
