Five months on the market, six hours to a deal
One fine Wednesday morning in July 2026, our team at SFR Home Staging arrived at a condo unit with a sofa, a rug, lamps and artwork.
The call came from a property agent who works with us regularly. The unit had been on the market for five months.
There had been viewings and offers, but no deal. The offers were below what the seller expected.
The unit was decent, but it was vacant. And the agent had a viewing lined up for that Wednesday evening.
So that morning, we staged it.
The viewing went ahead that evening. Then the agent told us the news: the seller had accepted an offer, higher than the previous offers.
Five months on the market. Sold six hours after staging.
“The property was sold six hours after staging. That’s our record.”– Kelvin Yeo, CEO of SFR Home Staging (watch the video)

The agent’s side of the story
The property agent had been marketing the unit for five months.
“We do have offers, but the offer doesn’t meet [the seller’s] expectations,” he says.
After staging, that changed in one day.
“On the day itself, we had an offer. The offer met our seller’s expectation, and then we closed the deal just within that one day itself.”
Watch him tell the story, with the before and after of the unit:
For Kelvin, it came down to what buyers saw when they walked in.
“The staged property looked completely different from a vacant unit. It was an amazing result for the agent and the owner.”– Kelvin Yeo (watch the video)
Not our only success story
Six hours is our record, but it isn’t our only success story.
Here are a few more: an older flat that sold two weeks after staging, and what property agents who have worked with us have to say.

HDB, condo or landed: same goal, different homework
The goal never changes: help buyers picture their own life in the home.

We help buyers imagine it in the first 15 seconds
We start with the living and dining areas, the first spaces buyers walk into at a viewing.
Every staging includes carpets, lamps and art pieces, things most homes don’t have. They help a unit stand out and feel welcoming the moment buyers step in.
The first impression starts even earlier, online. Buyers see the photos before they book a viewing, so the home should feel just as good in person as it did on screen.
Getting a home to that point takes more than a sofa and a rug.
One team, from staging day to moving day
Behind every staging is a warehouse routine. It starts with a proposal: you send us the property details, and we plan the concept, furniture and decor.
Then comes the stock check, picking lists for furniture and accessories, a condition check on every piece, and loading the day before. On staging day, we set up the home and take before and after photos.
Around the staging itself, we can take care of the rest:

An example is this 1984 HDB flat in Tampines. Moving out, disposal, repainting and staging were all handled by one team. Two weeks after staging, the flat was sold.
FAQ
Do you stage HDB flats, condos and landed homes?+
Yes. We stage homes of every type across Singapore, from older HDB flats to compact condos and large landed homes. We need 3–5 working days’ notice. Setup time depends on the type of property, and landed homes need a longer lead time.
Can you stage a home I’m still living in?+
Yes. For owner-occupied homes, we usually stage the home with your current furniture and add a few key pieces.
Can you help with storage, disposal and moving?+
Yes. Whether you’re moving out or not, we can store items during the staging period or dispose of furniture you don’t need. If you’re moving out, or moving some items to another place, we can provide the moving service too.
How do I get a quotation?+
WhatsApp us photos and videos of the property, plus the online listing link if there is one. We’ll give you a complimentary quotation and guide you through the next step.
