Where the money goes
Every property is different, but the standard never moves. Nina assesses what will actually move the sale price and builds a plan around that, whether the answer is a weekend of small fixes or a full renovation.
Small spend, fast turnaround. The fixes buyers notice without knowing why.
Fresh paint, new carpet, blinds and downlights can change how a whole home photographs. Add a garden tidy, a declutter and a professional clean before styling and the property reads as cared for from the first click online.
Kitchens, bathrooms, floors and facades. The buyer sees a finished home.
When the bones are good but the finishes are dated, a refresh lets buyers picture moving straight in. Nina sequences the trades so painters, flooring and wet-area work happen in the right order, then brings in the stylist.
Full renovations up to $250,000, planned around the campaign date.
A complete renovation before sale, with every decision measured against what the market rewards. Layout changes, full kitchens and bathrooms, rendering, landscaping and styling, all managed by one person who reports to you.
Nina only recommends the works that will lift your sale price. Nothing gets added for the sake of it.
Find out what your home needsHow it works
The timeline is built around your campaign, never the other way around. You make the decisions. Nina makes them easy.
Nina walks the property with you, identifies the works that will lift the sale price and gives clear guidance on priorities.
A scope of works, budget guidance and cost transparency, with a schedule sequenced to hit your agent's campaign date.
Curated trades, coordinated and checked. Site visits, quality control and progress updates so you always know where things stand.
Furniture delivered, styling installed, the house cleaned and ready. By the time the agent walks through, there is nothing left to explain.
A property only gets one first impression. We make sure it is the right one.
The finish
Restored bluestone, fresh joinery, ceiling roses brought back to white. Every trade is curated and every job is checked, so the finish holds up in person as well as it does in the photographs.

Case study
The owners had lived here for more than fifty years. Nina planned the works around the campaign, brought in the trades in the right order and handed the agent a home that photographed like new. It sold successfully at auction within thirty days of listing.

What clients say
I had this investment property for many years and I had no idea where to start to sell it. Nina had a plan within a day. A timeline planned around my tenants moving out. By the time it hit the market it didn't look like a rental anymore. It looked like a home and sold above the agent expectation.

Selling our house was very stressful, but Nina and the team were excellent and a great help. Nina thought of things even before we got to them, like cleaning pre staging and photos, having the front of house tidied. Nina is so lovely and our whole family felt so comfortable and well looked after. I highly recommend.

Maintainwell's service, particularly Nina's expertise, was exceptional. Despite living interstate, Nina guided the renovation of my investment property's wet areas for a pre-sale service. Her advice and work led to a record sale in the area. I couldn't be more grateful for the outstanding service and results. Highly recommend!

Meet Nina
Maintainwell sits in the gap most sales fall through. Nina coordinates everything a property needs before it goes to market, curating every trade, checking every job and accounting for every detail, so by the time the agent walks through there is nothing left to explain.
She brings the dual perspective of a licensed real estate agent and an experienced project manager. That means every dollar you spend is measured against what buyers respond to, what agents need and what the market rewards.
Your calm in the chaos of selling.
Renovate now, pay later
Trade repairs, painting and property styling can be deferred until settlement. Maintainwell works with Elepay so the preparation that adds value to your sale does not have to come out of your pocket first.
Ask about deferred paymentSubject to campaign approval. Nina will walk you through eligibility at the walkthrough.
For agents
One call and the vendor's preparation is handled. Nina scopes the works, runs the trades and delivers the property photo-ready on your campaign date, with nothing for you to chase.
