Preparing yours or your loved ones home for sale can seem like a very daunting task. There are a lot of tasks that need to be completed when you’re selling your home in order for the house to be ready for photos and to be put on the real estate market. It is particularly daunting for you or your loved ones if you have lived in your home for quite a few years and have accumulated a lifetime worth of possessions. Where do you start? What has to be done?
Preparing your house for sale requires quite a few steps and quite a bit of work, depending on the state of yours or your loved ones home. Often this task is incredibly overwhelming and stressful for those who do not have experience. Furthermore, most people are unsure how to best style their house for sale, and leave it the way they have lived in it for years, which unfortunately is not presenting the house in it’s best light. Focusing on the tasks required to sell your home and the thought of leaving your family home of many years can be very stressful and time consuming. Why put yourself through this stress?

Why choose us?
- Home Moving Planners staff are experienced expert declutter and sorting specialists. Our staff are experienced trained experts at finding important items such as wills, personal papers and financial documents that could be crucial to solicitors, executors of estates and family in winding up a probate or other legal and financial matters on the estate. We often find important documents related to banking, shares, investments that family members and beneficiaries were unaware of.
- We also understand that in a loved ones home there may be other important items, valuables and even money. It takes a expert professional to quickly and carefully sort through a home to find items that may be hidden, sometimes in inconspicuous places amongst other possessions. Our staff have found lost wedding rings and between $15,000-$17,000 hidden in places such as a seamstress’s clothing patterns, in between books and even wadded up in dirty tissues stuffed in the lining of a bedside table. It’s important to choose a business whose staff are honest and well trained to sort through possessions, and don’t just come in and throw things out because on first glace they look like rubbish!
- We have short turn around times to prepare homes ready for market. In most cases we can prepare a home for sale in 1-2 weeks, depending on the services required.
- We organise reputable and reliable second hand dealers to visit the property and give a valuation on any saleable furniture or goods, prior to the decluttering process starting, so that money can be given back to the estate for saleable contents.
- We provide our own in house rubbish removal that is fast and cost effective compared to using expensive skip bins. This way the skip isn’t left outside your home so your neighbours can use it until it is ready to be collected. We are also able to do multiple loads of rubbish in one day so that you don’t have to wait for a skip bin to be collected and replaced, which could delay the time taken to clear your property for sale. You also only pay for the rubbish that is removed, that is if you only have 3 cubic metres of rubbish this is all you pay for, unlike skip bins where you pay for the full 6 cubic metres even if it is only half filled.
- We can offer a range of other services to help prepare a home for sale and settlement, such as cleaning, property styling, gardening and maintenance.
- We are a family owned and operated business with family values. Our culture is to treat all of our clients as if they were our own family.
