Considerations when comparing styling quotes

There is SO much more to consider than price alone when styling a home

We are all guilty of buying on price, but should the presentation of your most valuable asset be decided on the same principal? There is a lot to consider when engaging a stylist including look and feel, inventory quality and value add services. So what are you really buying and are you getting the value you expect from this important investment?

 

When making the decision and comparing stylists, the first thing you should do is ensure that the look and feel of the stylist’s previous work matches the look you are after in your property. This is vital to make sure you get the result you want and the look your property deserves.

 

While Shift Property Styling is sometimes more expensive on paper, there are many additional services offered outside placing furniture in your home that assist in the sale. Please take a moment to read through the following:

We design spaces that are inviting, property specific and buyer-ready based on years of real time experience and thousands of styled homes. And while we are often labled the modern home styling specialists, we equally love, can and do style classic or period homes.

Expertise built on experience

With 20 years of experience comes a lot of learning. We were the first to market in Tasmania paving the way for styling a home to become the norm and in doing so created an industry in Hobart. But along the way we have learnt that it’s paramount to protect our client’s interests too.

  • Fully insured inventory during the rental period
  • The comfort of knowing our business has full public liability insurance
  • GST inclusive pricing at all times
  • Police checked staff
  • Registered business and trademarked brand

We have been trusted by thousands of clients to look after their property since 2006.

Technology-driven efficiency

While we are still a small family business, we recognise efficiencies come from being forward thinking and technology plays an important role at Shift. All our stock is RFID tagged so at the completion of the job, it is scanned in to know what is on site.

  • Digital inventory management system Stageforce to manage our stock
  • A digital key management system to ensure keys are secure at all times
  • A video is recorded on the initial site visit and rooms are digitally measured for accuracy
  • Vehicles GPS tracked for efficiency and timely arrival

This allows us to complete multiple styling projects on the same day to our high standard while finishing in time for 1pm photos, so your agent can maximise the rental term and get your property listed faster.

Large-Scale Capability

Like so many businesses before us, we started small from a garage and we’ve learnt the hard way what works and what doesn’t. But after 20 years we have many systems and procedures in place, 1,600 sqm of warehouse space and an extensive inventory that can manage up to 75 projects at a time.

  • We have the capacity to handle multiple projects simultaneously
  • Ensuring fast turnaround times without compromising on quality
  • During peak times our teams easily and safely move 6 houselots per day!

 

It’s all about big business thinking while remaining a small business at heart.
