Renovating for sale

In today's challenging market, pre-sale renovation can mean the difference between a standard sale price and winning the auction hammer jackpot.
Most homeowners sell their property "as is" and miss the opportunity to maximise the resale potential. A standard property is bought using logic and numbers. A beautiful. shiny property triggers buyer emotions which are far beyond logic and result in much higher buying prices and higher sales speed.
Here at The Renovation Team, our founder James will work with you to build a cost effective renovation package to maximise your property sale potential and to trigger strong "buy" emotions.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
The Renovation Team turned my run-down first home into a modern, stylish, and practical dream space—like something out of a catalogue!

They were professional, skilled, and communicative, completing the job on time, within budget, and even helping me move in before lockdown. Their guidance made the process stress-free yet engaging, and they went above and beyond every step of the way.

I couldn’t be more grateful for their exceptional work—my dream home became a reality thanks to James and his team!
Keri Milich

Thank you James and the team for the fantastic, high quality job you completed on our renovation. Highly recommend!
James completed a full renovation of four units as one project. The quality is very high, communication great, and we are very, very happy with the work and project. Our unit looks transformed, it is warm, bright and our renter is very happy with their family accommodation. If anyone is looking for a project manager who can take care of everything from start to finish.. James is you man! Ngā mihi James and the team.
Andrew Simich

James you did such a incredible and professional job for us and we are grateful for all of your advice. Thanks for also helping provide such practical solutions to some of the challenges we faced along the way. We look forward to doing our next project with you.
Kelly Scott

As a newbie at renovations, it was invaluable to use The Renovation Team for our first investment property. To know that everything was being taken care of, in a tried and true manner meant less stress. All of the unforseen issues were just non-issues.
Even though our renovation was over the Christmas close down, the project was completed on time. The quality was so high, if we could have moved in ourselves, we would have done!

Out customers reviews and feedback makes us go to work with a smile every day.
