Sale cleans and house makeovers Torquay + Surf Coast

Selling your house?

Did you know that we can help you get top dollar for your property, house or unit sale? First impressions are everything, and this is especially true for when a prospective buyer is viewing a property.

Buyers can be very fussy and demanding when considering placing an offer for a house, and any defect is taken into account. We can help you fix, repair and bring your building and property back to life! 

In order to get your property into shape we suggest that you firstly do a pre-sale handyman makeover and secondly a pre-sale clean, as it pays to have everything in perfect order. You don’t want potential buyers to be able to pick out any negatives.

Pre-sale Handyman Services

Here’s a list of the most common issues that vendors have and just some of the pre-sale handyman services we offer:

  1. Mowing lawns and trimming edges

  2. Weeding and adding mulch to garden beds

  3. Straightening fences and fixing gates so they open and shut easily

  4. Updating and fixing light fittings

  5. Repairing damaged flywires

  6. Fixing locks and door handles

  7. Cleaning and re-staining decks 

  8. Straightening pathways

  9. Getting rid of cobwebs 

  10. Painting and touching up walls 

  11. Fixing leaky taps

  12. Repairing plaster from wall hangings

If you're a smart vendor, getting the property in perfect order through handyman work and cleaners is as impactful in getting the best possible price as picking the best agent, property styling, great photography and the right marketing.

Pre-sale House Cleaning Services

Pre-sale cleans happen right before viewing, First Pick’s team of professional cleaners know how to get it right so buyers aren’t asking any questions. 

We offer the following cleaning services for sale cleans:

  1. Kitchen Detail. The kitchen can get dirty, we cook in it daily and grease, grime and mould can build up over time unless it is properly cleaned. Ovens need to be cleaned and shined too.

  2. Vacuuming

  3. Dusting 

  4. Mopping and polishing floors

  5. Window, glass and mirror shining and polishing

  6. Bathroom detailing - getting grout out of the tiles and silicone

  7. Cleaning carpets

  8. Cleaning walls and trims

Home Styling Services

You can also have a company come in and “style” your property to really double the impact of that first impression. They concentrate on making a place look perfect for photos and viewings. The benefit of hiring an interior stylist for a fully furnished home is that they come in with a fresh set of eyes and see the property from a potential buyer's point of view.  Furniture, colours and feng-shui are all big parts of this job.
