Sale Readiness & Pre-Sale Renovations Brisbane

Pre-sale property preparation, managed from start to finish

Sale readiness brings essential repairs, presentation improvements and outdoor work into one agreed plan before your home is photographed and listed. Fixio Co helps Brisbane homeowners and real estate agents prioritise the work, define a clear scope and coordinate delivery around the proposed sale campaign.

​

Total project management & trade coordination

One point of contact for the complete agreed project. Fixio Co manages the scope, work programme and trade coordination from initial assessment through to completion and handover. You can discuss building repairs, painting, cleaning, landscaping and specialist trade work together rather than arranging each part separately.

• Planning and priorities: assess the property, separate essential repairs from optional presentation upgrades, and agree the scope and budget.

• Trade scheduling: coordinate carpenters, painters, cleaning and landscaping, with appropriately licensed electricians, plumbers and other specialists where required.

• Materials and selections: confirm products, allowances, ordering responsibilities and lead times before work proceeds.

• Site coordination: agree access, sequence trades and keep work aligned with the property preparation programme.

• Communication and cost control: keep the nominated owner or agent informed and discuss scope changes and variations before proceeding.

• Completion and handover: review the completed scope and coordinate the agreed handover around styling, photography and listing dates.

Project management responsibilities, specialist trades and any client-arranged items are identified in your quote. Timing is confirmed after assessment and remains subject to scope, selections, access and availability.

How your sale readiness project runs

1. Send your brief: share the suburb, photographs, repair list and target photography or listing dates.

2. Assess and prioritise: review the property and agree essential repairs, presentation work and optional improvements.

3. Approve the proposal: confirm the scope, selections, allowances, exclusions, payment arrangements and programme.

4. Coordinate delivery: Fixio organises the agreed sequence and keeps your nominated contact informed.

5. Review and hand over: check the completed scope and prepare for the next stage of the campaign.

​

Budget and timing

A small repair and paint package has different costs and lead times from a deck replacement or kitchen renovation. Quantities, materials, access, concealed damage and specialist trades affect the proposal. Any provisional sums, prime cost items or other allowances are identified in your quote. Tell us your budget and campaign dates early so we can discuss priorities or staging before you approve the work.

​

For homeowners, real estate agents & property managers

We confirm who approves the work, how access will be arranged and when the property needs to be ready. Fixio can coordinate the agreed programme with owners and agents around styling and photography. For larger improvements, explore our kitchen and bathroom renovations. For ongoing repairs, see property maintenance.

​

Sale readiness FAQs

​

What should I repair before selling a house?

Start with defects affecting use, obvious damage and unfinished work, then consider painting, cleaning and outdoor presentation. We can review your list with you and your agent to agree priorities.

​

Do I need a full renovation before selling?

That depends on the property's condition and sale plan. Targeted repairs or a kitchen and bathroom refresh may suit some homes; others need more substantial work. We quote the agreed scope without promising a particular sale result.

​

Can you finish before photography?

Share your intended date when you enquire. We assess scope, product lead times and trade availability before agreeing a programme. Allow time for approvals and any unexpected issues uncovered during repairs.

​

Can Fixio manage all the trades?

Yes. We provide total project management and trade coordination for the agreed scope, with appropriately licensed specialists where needed. The proposal identifies our responsibilities and any client-arranged work.

​

How much does pre-sale property preparation cost?

Costs depend on the property and work required. Send photographs and your repair list to discuss an assessment and proposal. Allowances and exclusions are explained in the quote.

​

Can I book individual repairs?

Yes. Discuss the work you need, from door repairs and painting to a complete property preparation package. Scope and availability are confirmed before booking.
