At Illuminate Home Staging, when we stage a property, whether furnished or unfurnished, it's all about helping buyers to fall in love with your home.

If you'd like to know how to attract more buyers to show days, how to make your home appeal to a wider audience and ultimately how to sell your house faster and for more, then you've come to the right place. Illuminate is a Johannesburg based home staging company that believes that selling a home should be viewed in the same light as any investment, with maximum return in mind. Our goal is to minimise the time your house spends on the market and increase the profitability of selling your home by improving the overall presentation of your property. Empty or unfurnished homes are hard to fall in love with and they make buyers think that the negotiation is in their favour. For a monthly fee we stage your home to sell by providing contemporary furniture, art and accessories for the main living areas of your house. Our report includes an area overview, pricing analysis, suggested minor repairs and an accessory shopping list so you know exactly what to buy and where. Do you have a sinking feeling when you think of the changes needed before listing your house? Perhaps you've just bought a place or decided to offer an AirBnB rental and need to decorate but don't know where to start. We have a range of interior design packages that can assist. This is consistent with our experience in South Africa. Once staged, our properties that sold did so in less than six weeks. Our fastest selling property sold in one week with two offers at full asking price. It is important to note that the majority of these homes would be classified as 'problem properties' and had been listed for months with low interest and price reductions prior to staging. While home staging can even help to sell over exposed, 'unsellable' homes, correct pricing is critical to success when listing any home. Our home staging packages are designed to assist every kind of property owner. to decorate, embellish, adorn, ornament, enhance, highlight.

The story of how Illuminate Home Staging came to be leads back to The Leopard in Melville, Johannesburg. As fate would have it the combination of four personalities at a dinner party brought together serendipitously all the elements you would need to find this particular passion: a best friend recently employed as an estate agent, a Godmother visiting from Canada (where the use of home staging companies is an unquestioned mainstay of selling property quickly) and a husband who had the perseverance to encourage a buried childhood love of interior design and styling.
