What’s the least expensive thing you can do to increase the value of your home before hitting the market? You might be surprised—it’s as simple as a thorough property clean!
At Lesley Bourke Real Estate, we understand that the details matter. Whether you tackle it yourself or hire professional bond cleaners, a top-to-bottom clean can make a world of difference. Think about everything from washing windows and scrubbing tracks to cleaning light fixtures, replacing burnt-out bulbs, wiping down walls, and removing cobwebs, replacing loose fence palings, updating any wet areas silicon if needed. And don’t forget to give the bathrooms a good scrub too!
In this Blog post, I’ll cover what sets apart a professional real estate agent apart on the Sunshine Coast and plugging little loopholes and red flags before we start any marketing campaign. The work done now pre-sale makes negotiations easier when we remove pain points for buyers that draw unecessary attention or perception of issues for them
Creating A Comfortable & Connected Home
A clean, well-presented home sends a powerful message to potential buyers. It signals that the property is move-in ready, which can significantly boost how it’s perceived—and ultimately, its value. Creating a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere can make buyers feel more connected to the space, increasing their emotional investment.At the core of my approach is empathy.
The Goal Is Simple
We know life happens—we all live in our homes. But when it’s time to sell, it’s crucial to minimise attention on property flaws and ensure buyers focus on the home’s potential.
Buyers are programmed to look for faults and flaws, so the more we address and eliminate pre-sale, the less points of contention we have at time of negotiation. We keep the buyer focussed on all the right things.
Most buyers purchase with emotion, so it has to feel right the moment they step inside. A clean, fresh space immediately creates that positive, welcoming vibe.

Evidence of Excellence – A Client Review

“Lesley Bourke is a one-stop powerhouse. She not only negotiated the sale of my property that went well above my price expectations, but she also understood my necessity to buy in the same property market.
Lesley’s negotiation and networking skills were imperative in my selling and buying journey. She made a daunting process easy and stress-free and I would highly recommend her exceptional services above any of her competitors when selling or buying a property. Thank you Lesley.”
