Preparing Your Home For Sale

Charles Fleming Retirement Village

Before you jump into renovations to make the place look shiny and new, think carefully about the value they will add to the house and whether you’ll recover that cost in the sale price. Renovations can be costly, stressful and time-consuming, so they’re only worth making if they’ll add significant value to your house sale.

We would like you all to know this week is Matts and My last week as the owners of Waikanae Crab, as of next week Dave Brosnahan and Kelly Gulliver will take over as the new owners. We wish them all the best and every success in their new venture.
