Hausfrau Transformed Our House

Thanks Sam and Jane for your clever styling and professionalism. We loved the artwork and real (non plastic) plants and flowers. The selection of furniture was carefully arranged, and we admired your attention to detail such as to match the rug and couch to maximise space in our living room… and draw the eye away from the wonkiness of more than 100-year floorboards. Your splendid advice helped to transform our 1980s kitchen with retro styling (Sam, who else would have thought that pink and green are a brilliant combination? the photos are proof :). Thanks again for your professionalism, experience and not least emotional support to sell our family home whilst we moved interstate, it was a long journey with a brilliant result, thank you!

Hausfrau were exceptional in styling our home and worth every penny. Often stylists create a generic and commercial look. Not Hausfrau! They made our home stand out with their creative and unique aesthetic (and incredible indoor plant collection!) The person who eventually bought our home actually remarked on how they were attracted to the house because of the soulful styling and we know it made all the difference to our sale. Hausfrau were wonderful to deal with all the way through the campaign. they were professional , organised and generous. They deserve every success in the future.

We just wanted to say the biggest thank you to you extraordinary women - your talents in styling our first house (our home) blew us away and added hundreds of thousands to our end achievement. Fast forward 2 years and a different, “plain Jane” investment property - and you did it again! We knew we had to book you early as simply no-one compares - we did so - and again you achieved stunning results with the house selling within 2 weeks (pre auction). It looked simply beautiful - we could never have imagined how to create that unique, contemporary, stunning look! You are just the top of the game and we thank you. You were fun - a joy to work with - the outlay was just negligible in relation to the price we were offered, and you were inspirational in how to produce a beautiful house. Thank you. What a dream team!

Sadly no more houses to sell but can we call on you to help style our new home? From the bottom of my heart - you are just fantastic!

We couldn’t have been more delighted with the way our house looked after Jane and Sam were done with it. We ended up with an astonishing sale price that was a record for our area and we reckon a big part of that was the styling. The buyers all commented on the great presentation of the house.

Hausfrau did a fabulous job and all the bits of other houses that make you think ugh, like plastic plants and artificial flowers weren’t there. Instead it was gorgeous furniture, art, linens and towels plus those lovely live plants and all the little touches you’d never think of like books, dishes, vases and small pieces of art. Thanks again, Jane and Sam. We’ll be recommending you to anyone who’ll listen.

Both Martin and I were thrilled to see the photos last night. This house looks amazing and we love every room. The landscape paintings are perfect (really beautiful) and your colour choices work so cohesively throughout the entire home. Thank you so very much for working with us

I still cannot believe how divine it all looks; all the elements relate to each other in beautiful and sophisticated ways, it’s fun, exquisite and full of integrity.The architecture, design and styling are in complete harmony…did I say I absolutely love it already? Thanks a million Sam and Jane, phenomenal work!

HAUSFRAU responded with insight and experience to the character of our post-war two bedroom clinker brick in Preston. Sam and Jane are clearly a step above any other players in the market- made our house feel stylish, homely, comfortable and cool all at the same time.

The nuance they add in terms of of having autumnal bedlinen to compliment the trees outside the window. The generous use of native flora in every room and the perfect mid-century pieces of furniture and art made our house stand out above all other similar places on the market. We have no doubt that Hausfrau’s design helped us achieve a record-breaking price and we have no hesitation in recommending them 100%

The apartment looked absolutely stunning thanks to Hausfrau's very thoughtful and contextually sensitive interior design, and I'm certain it helped us get a great price for the place."

After our first meeting with Jane and Sam we knew Hausfrau were the perfect choice for our marketing campaign.

Hausfrau’s design and aesthetic resonated with our personal taste and complimented the character of our home perfectly, the end result was beautiful and felt like home. Testament to that our property went on the market at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and not only did it sell, but fetched well over our reserve. Highly recommended

LOVE the look Hausfrau created. Furniture was perfectly matched with beautiful artwork and soft furnishings. Stunning fresh flowers with a personal touch. The house looked so inviting and was beautifully styled for the area. Pirate themed kid’s room was inspired. Would definitely use Hausfrau again and highly recommend

Chris and Mari 3BR home Thornbury

We are absolutely thrilled with your service, the house has looked the best it ever has, but also real, fully in keeping with both the style and era of the house, and also contemporary, giving visitors the ability to see how they would live in the space. And the evidence is in the number of groups who inspected the property, far more Jellis Craig tells us than any other property on their books at the moment.

And it has also been a real delight to work with both of you, your warmth and consideration in difficult times made a real difference to both of us.

Johanna Verberne 3BR Rosanna

Words cannot express how grateful we are to Sam and Jane. They transformed our modest house into something beautiful and elegant – a work of art! Their styling attracted HUGE numbers to our open-for-inspections which resulted in a sale price that drastically exceeded our expectations! As parents of four young children, the prospect of preparing a house for auction (and living in it) was overwhelming, to say the least. Sam and Jane were systematic in their approach, they provided practical advice and took an enormous amount of stress out of the process. Having the option of Sam to refresh the house each week prior to each open was our saving grace – she well and truly got us over the line. They were professional, diligent, friendly - an absolute pleasure to deal with. We wholeheartedly recommend Hausfrau - they are masters of their craft!

Gabrielle Wood 3BR Regent

Aside from being incredibly professional, Sam and Jane were a lot of fun to work with and I loved their playful banter during the weekly flower refresh that took all the stress away from preparing for inspections.

They made our house look amazing in a way that appeared personal and lived in, right down to the kitchen utensils set out for buyers to imagine themselves cooking dinner in their new kitchen.

Hausfrau’s willingness to work around us living in the house throughout the campaign was a significant cost saving and we appreciated being able to keep a lot of our furniture in the house to minimise disruption during a busy time.

Thank you for a great result! We would love it if you could style our new house when the time comes.

 We recently had Hausfrau style our home for an auction campaign in Preston. We moved out and gave Sam and Jane free reign to dress the house as they saw fit. This wasn’t a hard decision - from the first moment we met them we knew (provided they were available) we would work with them! They are warm and honest professionals, who were also prepared to take on board any queries or suggestions we had. On the other hand they were honest about areas we could do work to maximise the potential of our home.

Throughout the campaign Sam came to the house at least once a week, to refresh flowers, touch up bedrooms and was generous enough to spot clean windows, turn on the heating for a bit before inspections and always made the house feel homely and inviting for prospective buyers. This was so valuable to us, having 3 young children and working, it took a massive weight off our shoulders.

We were thrilled with everything Sam and Jane did for us and the amount of positive feedback from inspections about the immaculate presentation of the home was overwhelming.

We are extremely grateful to Sam and Jane for their incredible sense of style, their personal investment into our selling experience and could not recommend Hausfrau highly enough to anyone looking for a styling of their house to make it feel like a home, not a display model. Their input clearly had a massive impact on our auction result. We’re hoping they will be available to help us out with our new home!

Hausfrau transformed our house from boring and small to elegant, stylish and expensive and they did it all in a matter of hours. It almost made me want to keep living there, it looked so beautiful. Best of all we achieved 20% higher than our reserve price.

 I was a bit awkward about having someone coming in to style our family home and that that I’d feel a bit judged.  They were professional, punctual and friendly and incredibly responsive throughout the home inspection and auction period. They displayed an uncanny ability to anticipate our needs and suggest things we hadn’t thought of.

Kirsty   3BR Preston

 A lot of styling companies recommended by Real Estate agents just felt very generic, a paint by numbers exercise with no input from us, the vendors. When we met with Jane and Sam what we got was something unique. Their styling was specific to the house and the area which was a really big differential in attracting the type of buyers we wanted. In the end we attracted multiple buyers which delivered a fantastic result. I have no doubt this is because of the style and feel of the house they delivered.

 I’d been given the services of a stylist by my real estate agent but their advice was very limited and not especially helpful. Hausfrau’s approach was in stark contrast and left me feeling much more confident about what I could do to increase the value of my home. Their attention to detail meant that the smallest touches were noticed. The agent was very impressed with the result and said he could hardly believe it was the same house he’d seen only a couple of weeks earlier. He later said that the styling was a major contributing factor to the final sale result – a result way beyond my hopes and expectations. I thoroughly recommend Hausfrau’s services for styling a home, apartment or unit for sale, knowing their work will dramatically improve the sale result.

Hilary  3BR Hughesdale

From the moment I met Jane from Hausfrau, I realised that we were in good hands. She really understood the ‘personality’ of our house and, as we walked through, she knew the  most appropriate way of presenting the house to bring out it’s best features. The warm and welcoming styling allowed our home to shine and gave us a great result through the open inspections and auction process. I would recommend Hausfrau to anyone looking for someone they can trust to make great decisions in presenting a house for sale.
Thank you Jane and Hausfrau for making everything easy!

Marie Gibson 3BR Northcote

Hausfrau were commissioned to style my Collingwood apartment for sale and the ladies were quick to identify opportunities to better arrange the space.  With a confident and curatorial eye they rearranged and removed some existing furniture and added a host of tasteful decorative items.  The result being a far more open welcoming space which has received compliments from photographers and agents alike. 

Mike Ingram 1BR Collingwood

Thanks Hausfrau for making our house so desirable for sale. We were daunted by the amount we had to achieve in a short time, but when you advised us on how to de-clutter (no mean task with two small children) and brought your gift with colour and eye for detail, we knew we were in safe hands.

 The weekly visits were much appreciated; without your ongoing support the whole experience would have been a much more stressful time.

 We enjoyed living in such style for the duration of the campaign, and it was inspiring to have our things given the expert touch.

 The price we got exceeded our expectations, going that bit further with styling was worth every cent. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your services to anyone selling their house, or even just for a home makeover.

Maggie Aitken, 3BR Brunswick

I would like to thank both Jane and Sam for dressing my house. I believe that their work and flair gave the property the sugar hit it needed to have a very successful sale with 7 bidders competing for the house. These girls were wonderful to work with and presented our property to 100% of its potential. These girls are professional,have great ideas,skills and flair. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to maximise their sale of a property.
