Buyers pay more for a house that feels finished. ReadyEstate is a fully managed pre-sale renovation service that helps your house sell for more, planned around your listing date and done before your first open home.
Free walk-through and itemised quote. No obligation, no pressure.
You're not choosing a kitchen to cook in for the next ten years. You're getting a house ready for the three weeks that decide its price.
That changes where the money should go. Neutral over personal. Paint and carpet over structural. Whatever shows up in the photos, the open home and the offers.
ReadyEstate was built on 15+ years in real estate marketing. We've watched thousands of campaigns and we know what buyers actually pay for, so we only recommend work that returns more than it costs at sale. If something on your list won't, we'll tell you to skip it. Plenty of houses need less than their owners think.
Every house is different. Most fall into one of these.
A full day of prep that gets your house photo-ready. Declutter, tidy, small fixes and styling, finished in time for the shoot.
Targeted work on the rooms that sell the house. The middle option when a tidy isn't enough but a full renovation isn't needed.
The whole house, done. Repainted, recarpeted, washed and tidied, ready to photograph. One number, one timeline, one team.
We visit the house, you tell us the listing date. Takes under an hour.
A written, itemised fixed quote with visuals of what the finished rooms will look like. You approve it or you don't.
Scheduled around your sales campaign, typically ten days on site. Trades, materials and sequencing are our problem, not yours.
Finished before photography, so the house buyers see online is the house we handed back.
Most renovation quotes are a list of line items and a number. Ours come with photo-real images of your actual rooms with the proposed work done, built from the photos we take at the walk-through.
You're not approving a description. You're approving a result you've already seen.
ReadyEstate slots into the vendor's marketing spend alongside photography and campaign costs. Fixed bands by floor area, price locked at sign-up, work completed before the shoot. One less conversation for you to have, one better campaign to run.
Dated timber ceiling and tired walls to a bright, neutral room. Full repaint and new carpet.
Street appeal for the listing photos. House wash, exterior paint and a tidy garden line.
The kitchen buyers walk into first. Cosmetic lift, styled and photo-ready.
Sale-ready images are the photo-real visual plans from our quotes, built from photos of each house. It's how every ReadyEstate job starts: you see the result, then you approve the work.
You could. It means finding a painter, a carpet layer, a handyman and a house washer, then sequencing all four against a listing deadline, while also selling your house. We do it as one job with one price and one finish date. That's the product.
No. The whole point of renovating for sale is spending only where buyers pay it back. If your carpet is fine, we'll say so. The walk-through often ends with a shorter list than the owner expected.
Sale-Ready Day runs on fixed bands by house size, from $1,200 + GST. Refresh and full renovations are quoted fixed after the walk-through, itemised so you can see exactly where the money goes. The number we quote is the number you pay.
Usually the job is simply paid like any other renovation. For qualifying jobs we can also arrange deferred payment through your solicitor, settled when the sale goes unconditional. Ask us at the walk-through and we'll tell you if your job fits.
ReadyEstate is run by The Onsite Team, an Auckland renovation and property maintenance company. Same crew, same standards, focused entirely on pre-sale work under this brand. You can see the wider company at onsiteteam.co.nz.
Tell us your listing or photography date and we build the schedule backwards from it. A full renovation typically needs ten working days on site, a Refresh less, a Sale-Ready Day just needs one clear day before the shoot.
It's free, it takes under an hour, and you'll leave with a clear view of what's worth doing and what isn't.
