It seemed natural to combine my partner's skills as a Builder and Carpenter and love of renovating with my love of de-cluttering and organising. Through de-cluttering, cosmetic renovations and/or upgrades, repairs and kerb appeal services, we knew we could help others achieve the same success as we had. Through our combined skills, professional trade disciplines, intellectual property knowledge and bespoke project management, we joined forces and launched Renovate Your Real Estate in 2020.
With any construction work on your property, it can feel invasive, as there are often many people in your home attending to multiple tasks. We take steps to mitigate against the feeling of intrusion, guide you through what to expect and treat your home with the utmost respect.
We are connected to our work and take great pride in delivering quality. Our trades people and sub-contractors are screened and vetted to ensure they can demonstrate Renovate Your Real Estate professionalism, work ethic and dedication to quality. We trust our people and you can trust them too.
Excellence in communication is our strength. You will never feel in the dark or have to worry about what is coming next. We inform and we are available to you.
We happily provide our prospective clients with references. We encourage you to seek an independent assessment from former and current clients so you can rest assured knowing that you are contracting with insured, qualified and experienced tradespeople.

"Renovate Your Real Estate were chosen to carry out a cosmetic renovation to our investment property. Their team gave excellent advice on what they felt the house needed, and helped set a budget for each area to ensure we did not over capitalise. They did an amazing job, so much so that we really struggled with the decision to sell. The property was appraised at $440k pre-renovation, it sold very quickly for $525k and we had a net profit close to $50k."
We have been in the building industry for many years and forged long term relationships with many trade disciplines that we trust based on dedication to quality of work, reliability and professionalism. From Cabinet Makers to Tilers to Plumbers, we have all the necessary licensed trades to successfully renovate homes to the highest standard.
We also collaborate with real estate agents who are considered industry veterans in selling and renting residential property. We recommend based on their skills in all facets of real estate and their dedication to achieving outstanding results for their clients.
