Strategic improvements that attract buyers
What Is a Pre-Sale Makeover?
A pre-sale makeover involves targeted renovations and cosmetic updates designed to increase your property's appeal and market value before listing. Unlike a full renovation, these improvements focus specifically on areas that buyers notice most and that deliver the strongest return on investment.
We assess your property and recommend improvements based on current market expectations in Port Melbourne and surrounding suburbs. This might include kitchen updates, bathroom refreshes, fresh paint throughout, new flooring, or modernised fixtures. The goal is to present a move-in ready home that buyers can envision themselves living in.
Our team handles everything from initial assessment through to final styling. We understand the Port Melbourne property market and know which improvements resonate with local buyers. Whether you are selling a unit, townhouse, or family home, we tailor our approach to suit your property type and target buyer demographic.
High-Impact Pre-Sale Improvements
We focus on the areas that matter most to buyers. These targeted improvements help your property sell faster and for a higher price.
Bathroom Refreshes
New vanities, updated tiling, modern fixtures, and fresh grouting transform tired bathrooms into selling points.
Paint and Walls
Fresh, neutral paint throughout brightens spaces and helps buyers see the potential in every room.
Flooring Replacement
New timber, hybrid, or carpet flooring creates a clean, updated feel that buyers immediately notice.
Lighting and Fixtures
Modern light fittings, power points, and switches add contemporary touches throughout your home.
Outdoor Spaces
Deck repairs, garden tidying, and outdoor entertaining updates boost street appeal and extend living areas.
Why Invest in Pre-Sale Improvements?
Properties that present well sell faster and attract stronger offers. Buyers in Port Melbourne expect a certain standard, and homes that meet those expectations command premium prices. A well-planned pre-sale makeover removes objections before they arise.
We have seen properties gain significantly more at auction after targeted improvements. The key is spending wisely on updates that buyers value, rather than overcapitalising on personal preferences. Our team provides honest advice about where your investment will have the greatest impact, helping you achieve the best possible result on your property sale.
Our Process
From Assessment to Sale Day
We guide you through each stage of your pre-sale makeover, ensuring a smooth process with clear communication and realistic timelines.

We visit your property for an onsite inspection, assessing its current condition and identifying opportunities for improvement. We consider your timeline, budget, and the local market to recommend the most effective updates.
Detailed Quote and Planning
You receive a clear, itemised quote outlining recommended works and costs. We discuss priorities and help you make informed decisions about which improvements to proceed with based on expected return.

Final Touches and Handover
We complete final inspections, ensure everything is finished to standard, and leave your property ready for photography and buyer inspections. Your home is now positioned to impress from the first open house.
Budgeting for Your Pre-Sale Makeover
Understanding costs and returns helps you make confident decisions about your pre-sale investment.
Pre-sale makeover costs vary depending on the scope of work and your property's current condition. A minor cosmetic refresh focusing on paint, fixtures, and basic repairs might start from a few thousand dollars. More comprehensive updates involving kitchen and bathroom renovations typically range from $15,000 to $50,000 or more.
The key question is not what the makeover costs, but what return it delivers. In the Port Melbourne market, well-presented properties consistently outperform comparable homes that need work. Buyers often discount properties requiring updates by more than the actual cost of improvements, meaning your investment can deliver substantial returns.
During our initial assessment, we provide realistic estimates for recommended works and discuss expected market impact. We are transparent about costs and help you understand which improvements offer the best value. Our goal is to help you make smart investment decisions that maximise your sale price.
