    What is pre-sale property preparation?

    Pre-sale property preparation is a single, integrated process where Bettini & Co. acts as your one point of contact. We do not hire out furniture; we are project managers who assess your home, determine trade requirements—painting, flooring, gardens, repairs—and coordinate every contractor and styling team to deliver a campaign-ready property on schedule.

    What's included in pre-sale property preparation?

    Pre-sale property preparation includes initial walkthrough assessment, itemised budgeting, trade repairs, interior and exterior repainting, floor restoration, kitchen and bathroom cosmetic upgrades, garden maintenance, deep cleaning, and complete interior property styling. Every trade operation is scheduled under a single project manager to guarantee completion before marketing photography.

    Rather than dealing with eight separate trade suppliers and stylists, vendors work with Taylah Bettini as their single point of contact throughout the campaign build.

    How long does it take?

    Most pre-sale property preparation projects in Sydney require between 5 and 14 business days to execute from trade handover to final furniture installation. Minor cosmetic updates and styling can be completed in 5 days, whereas multi-level terrace or family home renovations requiring plastering, painting, and floor sanding average 10 to 12 days.

    We align directly with your real estate agent's campaign launch date and auction timeline, guaranteeing that photographers step into a finished home on time.

    Who is it for?

    Pre-sale property preparation is designed for Sydney homeowners selling properties valued from $1.5 million upward who want to achieve the maximum possible market price without spending weeks sourcing, managing, and supervising individual tradespeople. It is ideal for busy vendors, deceased estates, interstate owners, and investors wanting a turn-key solution.

    How does it differ from property styling?

    Property styling hires furniture, art, and accessories to furnish an already pristine home. Pre-sale property preparation fixes the property itself first—repairing cracked plaster, replacing outdated lighting, painting scuffed walls, sanding timber floors, and restoring gardens—before styling furniture is installed over flawless surfaces.

    Furniture alone cannot hide water stains, dated kitchen benchtops, or worn floorboards. Preparing the home properly creates the foundation that makes styling effective.

    What happens at the walkthrough?

    During the on-site walkthrough, Taylah Bettini inspects your home room by room to evaluate lighting, floor conditions, wall paint, cabinetry, landscaping, and spatial flow. We discuss buyer expectations in your specific suburb and agree on high-return improvements, followed by a formal fixed-price scope within 24 hours.

    "Buyers in Sydney make decisions in the first 30 seconds of stepping inside a property. If they spot scuffed paint, leaking taps, or outdated benchtops, they start mentally deducting tens of thousands from their offer. We eliminate those objections before day one."

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Pre-sale preparation FAQs

    Can I remain living in the house during preparation?

    Yes, for minor preparation projects involving painting and partial styling. However, for full internal repainting, floor sanding, and comprehensive styling, we recommend vacating for 5 to 7 days to allow trades full access and ensure rapid completion.

    Do you coordinate directly with my real estate agent?

    Yes. We work alongside your real estate agent to align key dates, photography, open-for-inspections, and auction schedules. We ensure trades finish with adequate time for marketing assets.

    What if my property only needs minor repairs?

    We tailor every scope to the property. If your home only requires touch-up painting, garden cleanup, and styling, we quote specifically for those services without unnecessary add-ons.

    Which Sydney suburbs do you service?

    We service the Eastern Suburbs, Lower North Shore, Inner West, Northern Beaches, and Upper North Shore of Sydney.

    How quickly can you start after the walkthrough?

    We typically deploy trade teams within 48 to 72 hours of scope approval and deposit confirmation.
