How We Approach Pre-Sale Preparation
1
Free Walkthrough & Quote
We walk the property, identify what will actually move the needle with buyers, and give one clear written quote.
2
Schedule Around Your Sale
Work is scheduled around your agent's photography and open home dates.
3
One Coordinated Visit
Repairs, painting touch-ups and finishing details completed in one visit wherever possible.
4
Photo Documentation
Completed work is photographed for your records and, if needed, your agent.
5
Final Check
Everything is checked off the list before the property goes to market.
How Much Does Pre-Sale Preparation Cost?
Every pre-sale job is different — a punch list of small fixes costs nothing like a full refresh. We walk the property, list everything out, and give one clear written quote before anything starts.
📐 Property Size
More rooms and areas mean more to check and quote for.
📋 Number of Issues
A short punch list costs less than a full room-by-room refresh.
🪜 Access
Height, landscaping or restricted access can add preparation time.
🎨 Finish Quality
Matching existing paint or materials can take more care than a plain patch.
🗓️ Timeline
A tight sale timeline may need work scheduled sooner or across fewer visits.
📄 Report Scope
A full agent's or builder's report is quoted as one complete punch list.
We aim to respond within one business day and can often work around tight sale timelines.

How much does pre-sale preparation cost?
Every job is different — we walk the property, list everything out, and give one clear written quote before anything starts. There's no charge for the walkthrough itself. Smaller than that? Ring Rinat on 021 022 66991, describe the job, and ask for a price for that exact work — the call is free.
Do I need to get everything fixed before listing?
No — we help you prioritise what will actually move the needle with buyers rather than fixing everything regardless of value.
Can you work around my agent's photography and open home dates?
Yes, work is scheduled around your sale timeline, including photography and open home dates where possible.
Do you provide a written quote before starting?
Yes — a single written list and quote after the walkthrough, so there are no piecemeal surprises partway through.
Can you work through my agent's or builder's report?
Yes — send through the full report or punch list and we'll quote and complete it as one job in as few visits as possible.
How quickly can you start?
We aim to respond within one business day and are available 7 days a week, 7am–8pm, and can often work around tight sale timelines.
