Not every dollar spent comes back at settlement. In Brisbane's current market, the highest-return pre-sale spend is fresh paint, professional cleaning, lawn and garden, and photography. Over-capitalising on kitchens rarely pays off short-term.
Queensland requires a smoke alarm compliance certificate before settlement and a Form 2 seller disclosure. Handling both before listing means you control the timeline. Buyers who find compliance issues during due diligence use them to renegotiate.
Photography day is your one shot at a first impression. Every buyer looks at photos first. A professionally cleaned, decluttered and styled property photographs dramatically better and drives more inspections.
Auction suits properties with strong buyer competition and emotional appeal. Private treaty gives price certainty. The wrong method can cost 5–10% of the sale price.
The most common mistake sellers make is negotiating without a clear floor. Set your number calmly in advance, based on data, not emotion, and stick to it.
Properties that go to market properly prepared, clean, compliant, styled and photographed, spend fewer days on market and achieve stronger results. Preparation is the most reliable way to improve your outcome.
