When the owners of 5 Saddle Back Street reached out, they were feeling stuck. Their home was full – literally. Two young kids, Mum, Dad, and Grandad under one roof, and more family arriving from overseas. They needed more space and had already started trying to buy their next home.
To make things more complex, they were also planning to repaint and re-carpet the entire home before listing – a $20,000 spend. But with a full household and not enough rooms to shuffle everyone around, the stress was building.
Edward Smyth inspected the property and listened to their plans. After reviewing comparable sales and listings in the area, we gave strategic advice: Skip the major renovations, don’t delay – let’s focus on smart staging instead.
✅ Professional styling made the property feel fresh and market-ready
✅ No disruptive painting or carpet replacement needed
✅ Listing launched late Friday afternoon
✅ One open home Saturday morning
✅ Agreed offer within 24 hours
✅ Sellers signed a purchase contract the same day
✅ 60-day settlement secured for peace of mind
Both contracts are now unconditional. The family sold quickly, bought with confidence, and avoided unnecessary costs and stress.
