MAKING GOOD DECISIONS

Deciding what to do with your property to make it more appealing to the market can be daunting. You probably have ideas about what would increase your properties appeal on the market but may not be sure where to spend your time, effort and money. Sometimes the best money is kept in your pocket, sometimes a little bit here and there can make a big difference to how a potential buyer perceives a property. At times there needs to an investment to get a property ready for market, such as the one in my case study. 

As a serial renovator, property investor and interior designer who lives in the Northern Beaches, I am well placed to help you make these decisions. I do so alongside your preferred real estate agent so together we can look at potential uplift and what this means to the time on the market and the money you could hopefully achieve when your sell your property.

How it works

Property Uplift Review

 I do a walkthrough of your property and fill out a review form which is my unique checklist that offers insight into the items that are fine as is, those that need to be looked at, those that need some investment. This walkthrough can take 1-2 hours depending on the size and scope of the home. In consultation with your real estate agent, we will discuss the potential price uplift we could anticipate with changes that we could make and decide which ones are suitable for your property in the current marketplace, specific to you. If you don't have an agent already, I am happy to recommend one based on your needs and location.

Property Report

If you wish to engage my services to help you with your transformation, I will create a multi-page report based on my findings from the property uplift review so you can decide how to proceed. In some cases, you'll just need a little touch up to few things in and around your home. Other properties may need a total revamp. I will create spatial plans and room designs along with colour and design schemes and provide a finishes schedule. This can all be discussed further after the initial property uplift review.  Prices will be discussed based on case by case basis.

Transformation

You are welcome to complete the transformation yourself or I can provide assistance from start to finish. Every property is different and so a unique approach to each is required. I have the flexibility to adjust my services to your needs.  I can provide you with a list of trades that you can trust to undergo any work required and using your Property Report you can utilise my room designs and finishes schedule to complete your transformation. If you would like me to provide a builder or co-ordinate trades, then I accommodate this too. Prices can be provided on a case by case basis.

Ready for Market

At the end of the transformation, I hand you back to your realtor and their preferred stylist who can put the finishing touches on your property to ready it for market. You can sit back knowing that what you have accomplished will help to sell your property faster and for more money before we started. Getting more eyes on your property increases the numbers through the open homes and that increases buyer activity that leads to a quicker outcome and an uplift in potential price.

START HERE - PROPERTY UPLIFT REVIEW

You will receive expert advice on what needs to be fixed, changed, removed or otherwise altered. Your agent can give you an approximate price uplift valuation to let you know that if you do this transformation, what you may expect to get for your property, compared to keeping it in its current market position. 

Keep in mind that not all properties need a transformation, at times it will be just a paint refresh, a few new lights or a more curb appeal. The goal is get more people at your open house as more buyer interest always creates a stronger campaign. With more interest comes potentially larger prices, as competition drives price. By using this service, I hope to save you money by spending on the right things, rather than making assumptions a wasting money. The best money is always directed to the right changes. The transformation cost will depend on recommendations, trades and timelines and varies with every property.

Cost of Property Uplift Review is $580

Subsequent work will be discussed on a case by case basis to ensure you get the help you need.
