First impressions count

If you've ever watched one of the many home and auction shows currently on television, you'll understand the importance of presentation when it comes to selling a property.

For the past five years Auckland company DMI Homestagers has been assisting developers, home owners and real estate agents to achieve sales by creating the best possible first impression.

Working in Auckland and Wellington, the company operates a comprehensive property staging service, providing furniture and accessories for private homes, show homes, and display units and apartments. Drawing from its stock of designer furniture and accessories, which is updated constantly to reflect the latest trends, DMI Homestagers furnishes interiors to suit a home's design and target audience.

Director Dinah Malyon says the company's work is based on perceived value.

"It takes just seconds for a prospective buyer to make a decision," she says. "We can devise a scheme that will enhance the space and flow, as well as highlighting key architectural and design features."

DMI's service includes professional advice, furniture installation, and maintenance of the display. The company also provides artwork and fresh flowers.
