King George Avenue, Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire

Selling your home can be both exciting and overwhelming. It’s often one of your biggest financial transactions—so it’s no surprise that homeowners want to get it right. Yet, there are a few common mistakes that can cost time, money, and peace of mind during the selling process.

At Zest Home Staging, we’ve seen these pitfalls time and again, and we’re here to help you sidestep them with confidence. Here are the top 5 mistakes sellers make (and how to avoid them):

1. Overpricing the Property

The Mistake: It’s natural to want to achieve the best selling price, but pricing emotionally rather than strategically can scare off buyers and leave your home lingering on the market.

The Fix: Listen to your estate agent, study local comparables, and price with the market, not your heart. A beautifully presented, appropriately priced home will always generate more
interest.

2. Skipping the Prep Work

The Mistake: It’s natural to want to achieve the best selling price, but pricing emotionally rather than strategically can scare off buyers and leave your home lingering on the market.

The Fix: Listen to your estate agent, study local comparables, and price with the market, not your heart. A beautifully presented, appropriately priced home will always generate more
interest.

A spacious, detached four bedroom property renovated to an exceptional standard, occupying a prime residential location within walking distance of Droitwich Spa town centre.

Our client instructed us to stage this wonderful property, with spacious living rooms and an enormous open plan kitchen, dining and family room. This property was an exciting opportunity to showcase the full potential of this home and provide viewers with inspiration with regards to how this house could become their dream home.

Home Staging offers our client the opportunity to gain an advantage over similar properties that are marketed without staging. Studies show that viewers will spend longer and have a better idea of room proportions when a home is Staged.

We are thrilled for our client as this property sold within 3 days of going live on the market after being staged!

Home Staging helps you achieve a quicker sale for the best price.
