If you want to sell your home for the best possible price, it needs to be presented at its absolute best, not only for buyers but for property inspectors.
Our Spruce service prepares your home for scrutiny, fixing all those small problems you don’t have time to get to and taking care of larger cosmetic jobs like painting and pressure-washing.
From decluttering and maintenance tasks to upgrading, flooring, curtains and more, our job is to help your home shine, so it sells for more.
Give Those Buyers Every Reason to Say YES
With a background in styling and real estate, we know what buyers notice and what inspectors flag. Our team takes care of the jobs that often get overlooked, helping your home look well cared for and market-ready.
From the first consultation to the final coat of paint, we make the sprucing process smooth, stress-free and rewarding.
Our services include:
Most home styling companies focus solely on furniture hire—but at StageOne, we know presentation starts well before the styling truck arrives.
Our Spruce service is built on the belief that every detail matters, from minor repairs and fresh paint to clean lines, tidy lawns and working light switches. We take a holistic approach to property preparation, combining cosmetic updates with styling insights to create homes that feel well cared for and market-ready.
Because we understand both buyer psychology and the real estate sales process, we focus on the elements that make the biggest impact during inspections and photography. We can help book tradespeople, remove clutter, arrange minor repairs and create that modern look buyers will pay more for, while managing the details so you can focus on other important things in your life.
Every decision we make has a clear goal, to help you sell for more.
Preparing your home for sale is about more than a quick clean. You need to show buyers that your property has been loved, maintained and is ready to move into. With StageOne, you get a team that knows exactly what to prioritise, how to present it, and how to deliver maximum impact with minimum stress.
We aim to make your pre-sale property prep simple, collaborative and stress-free. Here’s what the Spruce experience looks like:
We take care of the details so you can focus on your next move. Our clients regularly see faster sales and higher offers thanks to the work we do behind the scenes.
Need flexible payment options?
We offer ‘spruce now, pay on settlement’ through our partnership with SaleFunder. This means you don’t need to front the cost of getting your home sale-ready, just unlock the benefits when it sells.
Pre-sale Renovation Services
StageOne’s pre-sale renovation services focus on the upgrades that matter most to buyers – and that make the biggest difference to your final result.
Our goal is to create a space that feels move-in ready, while reducing the number of issues raised in inspections.
Let us manage the entire process for you, coordinating trades, sourcing materials and keeping everything on track so you don’t have to.
How do I know which changes will add value before I sell?
Our team will guide you through which updates are worth investing in based on your property, location and target market. We focus on cosmetic and functional changes that appeal to today’s buyers.
Can I choose my own tradespeople?
You’re welcome to use your own trades, but we also have a reliable network of licensed professionals we’ve worked with for years. Let us take care of everything—stress-free.
How long does a typical pre-sale renovation spruce up take?
Timeframes vary depending on the scope of work, but most projects take two to four weeks. We’ll give you a clear timeline from the start and keep you updated every step of the way.
Do I need to move out while you work?
Not always. For light cosmetic work, you can usually stay in your home. For larger projects, we may recommend temporary relocation to speed up progress and avoid disruption.
Can I combine renovation with styling services?
Absolutely. In fact, many of our clients use both to maximise their home’s presentation and selling potential. We can create a tailored package that includes both services.
