The cost of waiting
Doing nothing has a cost too
Every week a property goes unnoticed, it loses ground to the competition.
-
Less initial impact
The listing gets lost among dozens of similar ones.
-
Fewer clicks, fewer viewings
With no interest on the portals, there are no viewings and no offers.
-
Costs that keep adding up
IBI (property tax), community fees, utilities… every month that goes by.
-
Price reduction
A rethink of the strategy and, all too often, a lower price.
Return on investment
An investment, not an expense
Work out what’s at stake based on your property’s price. Default: a 90 m² flat in the province of Girona (€2,913/m²).
Move the slider or choose an example price.
1.5%
of your asking price protected covers the investment, even at the top end of the cost range.
- A faster sale: fewer months paying IBI, community fees and utilities.
- More demand: more room to hold on to your asking price.
- More impact: listings that stand out on the portals from day one.

What our clients say
Results that speak for themselves
We’ve worked with Carme on three developments in a row. Always punctual, with great taste and no surprises in the quote. The show flat in Platja d’Aro sold in under two weeks.
Carme transformed a flat that had been on the market for six months. After the home staging, we sold it in ten days, above the asking price. An investment that pays for itself.
We wanted to renovate our house in L’Escala and turn it into a holiday let. Carme handled everything for us: the renovation, furniture and décor. The result is incredible and our guests love it.
Frequently asked questions
Your questions, answered
Can’t find the answer you need? Write to us and we’ll reply within 48 hours.
Ask us a questionWhat exactly is home staging?
It’s the professional preparation of a property for sale or letting: we analyse what buyers value, depersonalise and simplify the space, then enhance it with light, space and style so buyers can picture themselves living there. It isn’t a renovation.
Does it involve building work?
No. Home staging is done without any structural work: cleaning, decluttering, redefining spaces, painting, lighting, furniture and décor. If the project calls for it, we also offer interior design and full turnkey renovation.
How much does it cost?
Every property is different, so we’ll send you a tailored, no-obligation proposal within 48 hours. As a guide, the industry puts the investment at between 0.5% and 1.5% of the property’s value (AHSE). You can get a rough idea with our ROI calculator.
Does it work for empty properties too?
Yes. An empty space is hard to imagine: we furnish and style it so buyers can grasp the size and purpose of each room. From an empty space to a home buyers can picture themselves living in.
Do you work with estate agencies?
Yes, it’s one of our main partnerships. We visit the property with the agent, prepare a clear action plan and quote for the agency to present to the owner, and deliver a portal-ready photo shoot. You focus on selling.
Is listing photography included?
Yes. The process ends with a professional property photography shoot, ready to publish on the portals. Home staging, interior design and photography in a single service.
Which areas do you cover?
The Alt and Baix Empordà (including the Costa Brava), the Garrotxa and the Gironès. If your property is in another area, just ask.
