Seven hot secrets to maximising your property sale price:
- de-clutter. don't have your family photos plastered over every wall; furnish each area sparsely and tastefully; clear surfaces of clutter; put away toys and unnecessary items
- tidy up your garden - if you don't have time, get someone in to do it
- replace broken or worn fittings and fixtures. you'll be surprised what an improvement shiny new taps or cupboard handles can make
- refresh your paint work - no chips or scratches. Not only will you have the opportunity to make tired, battered walls look new, but you can re-design your colour scheme at the same time
- hire furniture/plants to compliment your home. strategically arrange indoor plants to make a room feel alive and fresh. a few items of well chosen, well placed pieces of furniture to suit your property will increase its saleability
- hire a consultant to do all this for you - we have contacts with tradespeople and suppliers who are proven to be reliable and qualified. we make preparing your home for sale an easy and pleasant experience - especially if you don't have the time

To give you a recent example: a client approached us with a bit of a dilema. he had been living on his acreage with his family for several years. It was looking very busy, tired and worn. Valued at about $2m, he wanted to know if he could improve his home to achieve a better selling price. With an investment of $30k, we: replaced his carpets, rangehood, cupboard handles, tapware and light fittings; we rendered open brick feature walls, re-painted, removed excess furniture, and fixed broken light switches and door architraves. After a final clean and a little style added via house dressing, his house was then re-valued at $2.5m and he achieved a sale price of $2.175m. his return on investment was over 480% (or $145,000) which he would probably not have otherwise have gained.
now, not every job is dealing with such large numbers, but generally if you are aware of your limitations and what works, you can get similar results.
