Pre-Sale Renovations
Maximise your property's appeal to prospective buyers
Sellers who prepare their properties before listing consistently achieve stronger sale prices. The right cosmetic updates, made before you go to market, can add hundreds of thousands of dollars to your result.
The best returns in property presentation come from knowing where to spend and where to save. A $25,000 investment in painting, new carpets and a kitchen renovation, for example, can recoup its cost many times over. These are not hypothetical numbers - they are outcomes real vendors are achieving by taking a strategic approach to pre-sale preparation.
We start with an on-site consultation, ideally with your real estate agent or vendor advocate, to understand your target buyer demographic and identify the changes that will deliver the greatest impact for your budget. Every recommendation we make is guided by one question: what will maximise your return?
What we do:
-
Visually impactful cosmetic changes to create a strong first impression: painting, flooring, landscaping, decluttering and depersonalising spaces,
-
Targeted kitchen, bathroom and living area updates that present the property as turn-key and attract buyers looking to avoid the cost and stress of renovating,
-
Repurposing and upcycling existing furniture and fixtures wherever possible - cosmetic renovation does not have to mean buying everything new,
-
An objective assessment of condition issues that could raise flags in a building inspection report, before buyers see them,
-
Styling direction to ensure the property presents at its absolute best for photography and open homes.
Our services include:
-
Interior Design - comprehensive drawings and realistic 3D renders
-
Project Management - we document the scope of work required by each trade, review quotes, help you engage the right team, make regular site visits and keep you updated throughout
