In a competitive market, presentation isn’t just important, it’s everything. Buyers today are spoilt for choice, and often make decisions within seconds of walking through the door or scrolling through a listing online. That’s why dressing your home for sale is one of the smartest moves a seller can make.

At Rigby & Marchant, we believe in showing homes at their absolute best. We work alongside leading designers and home styling companies to ensure every property we represent makes a lasting impression. And for clients who need it, we also offer in-house design assistance to help with everything from layout suggestions to finishing touches.

Styling isn’t about smoke and mirrors, it’s about creating warmth, space and character. It helps buyers imagine the lifestyle your home offers, and makes them want to be part of it. From rethinking the flow of furniture to softening lighting, adding texture or neutralising colour palettes, it’s about inviting buyers to linger, connect and ultimately fall in love.

But presentation begins before anyone steps inside. A freshly painted front door, tidy pathways, seasonal planting or a well-kept garden can dramatically improve curb appeal, sending the message that the home is cared for and ready for its next chapter. Whether it’s power-washing the façade, retiling the pathway or dressing an entrance with subtle greenery, these details set the tone and build anticipation.

A styled and well-maintained home doesn’t just look better, it sells better. It stands out in photographs, draws more viewings, and often achieves stronger offers. Buyers perceive greater value when a property feels intentional, harmonious and well loved.

In essence, home styling is not about spending more, it’s about earning more. It’s a strategy, not an add-on. And when your home is working hard to charm every viewer, you put yourself in the strongest position to secure the best price. At Rigby & Marchant, we’re here to help you do exactly that.
