Style, Detail And Sales

The Stylist Airlie Beach

Despite being in business for just over three months, The Stylist Airlie Beach has been making a name for themselves.

Husband and wife duo Amanda and Dexter Greyvensteyn noticed a gap in the market and Amanda's keen eye, exceptional attention to detail, and love for interior design made it an obvious decision.

"I thought there must be demand for it," exclaimed Amanda.

"So I made a couple of phone calls to a few of real estate agents, and they said, 'Yes, there is definitely a market for property staging in Airlie Beach'."

The Stylist Airlie Beach focuses on making homes look spectacular for sale, and Amanda said she likes to think of it as part of the marketing strategy for selling your house.

"We present your property in the best way that it can be presented," she said.

"So when people walk into the homes they fall in love with the house and can see themselves living there. When more people are attracted to the property it creates more competition within buyers."

Most importantly it makes viewers feel an emotional connection to the home.

"I go by the motto of first impressions matter," said Amanda.

"I think it's very important that when somebody does walk into that house, they fall in love straight away, they want to buy it, and so they put their best offer in and hopefully gets the seller the best price they can achieve."

The Stylist Airlie Beach have various packages ranging from a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment to large four-to-five bedroom homes. Amanda and Dexter provide a complete end-to-end staging service, including furniture selection, delivery, installation and styling. After the sale, all items are professionally removed, leaving no work for the seller.

They prioritise all areas of the home and source everything, artwork, furniture, and outdoor living too.

Amanda acknowledges that some sellers may initially be deterred by the cost but explains that staging does not usually require an upfront payment. In many cases, real estate agencies allow the cost of staging to be paid from the settlement proceeds once the property has sold, offering a stage now, pay later option.

Since starting last October The Stylist Airlie Beach has received great reviews with Amanda noting that numerous clients comment "I'm so glad I've done this" and "I don't want to sell my house anymore." Reviews that are a testament to the hard work, love and care that Amanda and Dexter have for their business.
