Buyers form an opinion before they step inside. Your front yard sets the tone for everything that follows.
- Mow, edge and fertilise the lawn
- Paint or replace the front door
- Pressure-clean the driveway and paths
- Add potted plants or a simple garden bed
- Fresh letterbox, house numbers and lights
Buyers buy space. Too much stuff and they mentally move on. Strip it back so they can picture their own life in it.
- Remove 30% of furniture to open up the space
- Pack away photos and personal items
- Clear every benchtop completely
- Steam-clean carpets and polish floors
- Get windows cleaned inside and out
Fresh paint says "well maintained" before a word is spoken. It also makes every listing photo sharper.
- Stick to neutrals: warm whites, soft greys, greige
- Focus on entry, hallway and living areas first
- Paint all doors, skirting boards and architraves
- Touch up exterior render, fences and gates

Every defect a buyer spots becomes a price reduction. Fix them first on your terms, not theirs.
