You don't have to clear 30 years of furniture before buyers see it
We plan with you what stays, what goes into storage and what our team brings in. The home is ready for buyers without you buying a single new piece.
For downsizers
After 20 or 30 years in 1 house, the sale is the biggest financial decision of your retirement. It deserves a method, not a guess.

We plan with you what stays, what goes into storage and what our team brings in. The home is ready for buyers without you buying a single new piece.
For a downsizer, the extra a contested launch can expose isn't a bragging right. It's the money that funds the next 20 years, so we show you both numbers before you decide anything.
Our average time on market over the last 5 years is 5 days, across 50+ Brisbane suburbs ... and it's on public data, so you can check it. Over 12 years and 85+ suburbs the average is 8 days. As a general market reference, a typical Brisbane home takes around 3 weeks.
5 daysEvery portal gives you 1 number. We give you 2: your Fair Market Value (FMV), what the evidence supports today, and your Above-Market Value (AMV), what a buyer pays when they're competing rather than negotiating alone. The gap between them is the reason to talk.
FMV + AMV
Our method runs as a formula: 5P = 3A. The 5 P's (Preparation, Presentation, Promotion, Price Guidance, Perception Management) drive the 3 A's: Attract more buyers, Accelerate market feedback, Amplify competition. Historically that means 2 to 4 times more buyer enquiry than comparable local listings, drawn partly from a 40,000+ buyer community we built ourselves.
2 to 4x enquiryWe don't drip your home out to a few buyers at a time. Every buyer meets it at once, in a deliberate, single-day full-market launch. A confident buyer standing next to other confident buyers competes. A buyer on their own negotiates.
A fixed asking price is a ceiling nobody pays above. Our dynamic price guidance attracts the right buyers and lets them revise and refine their offers ... without the impediments of price anchors or ceilings.
Presentation is the engine that fills the launch with enquiry, so it's part of the package, run by our in-house team. When the home sells there are no hire charges and no stylist fees; limited hard costs, such as transport, may apply at settlement depending on the scale of the project. We never use emotion killers like virtual staging.
IncludedWe've set suburb records all over the city, including a run of 9 in a row across 9 different suburbs in 2025/26 ... an average of $124,166 above market and an average of 5 days on market, with no local office in any of them. The result comes from the method, not from a postcode.
$124,166
We published Australia's first peer-quality home staging study: 144 consecutive sales across 62 Greater Brisbane suburbs from 2015 to 2020. Over that period the median was 9 days on market, about 85% sold above market value at an average premium of $69,017 (7.3%), and every one of the 144 drew more buyer interest than its local area. It was published before the boom, so it isn't a 'hot market' artefact.
