PRESENTATION TIPS THAT ARE LOW COST.

Basic repairs - replace rotten weatherboards, leaking taps, creaking floorboards, blocked gutters

Improve natural lighting - cut trees and bushes away from windows and doors, clean windows inside & out, replace 40W globes with 100W pearl globes, pull curtains/blinds right back to maximize light

Super clean your home like a professional

 De-clutter both inside & outside - purchasers should be able to freely walk around rooms, excessive furniture makes a room look smaller, tidy up the garage

Gardening - Lawns should be even and green - reseed bald spots, edges should be sharp and garden beds mulched with euci mulch not pine bark.

Add warmth and atmosphere -fresh flowers, open fire, pleasant cooking aromas, aircondition home 30 minutes prior to inspection time if temperature over 25 degrees

Critically assess your home from a fussy buyers point of view. Ask us for an opinion. Its free.
