Preparing your property for sale, managed for you.

Getting a property ready to sell takes time, contacts and a lot of chasing. That's the part we take off your hands.

Not sure what's worth doing before you sell?

It’s hard to know where to start. Most owners are trying to work out:

  • Which refreshes are actually worth doing
  • Where spending money will make little or no difference
  • Whether a minor job could uncover a bigger problem
  • How to get ready without spending more than you’ll get back

Without clear advice, it’s easy to spend more than you’ll get back.

Pre‑sale preparation, done properly.

Kudo Homes specialises in preparing properties for sale. We step in before any money is spent, so you can:

No second‑guessing

Make confident decisions about what to do and what to leave

Buyer-led focus

Focus on buyer appeal, not personal taste

Avoid costly mistakes

Avoid unnecessary or risky work

Managed for you

One project manager from the first walk-through to the final check

We work for the seller not the trades.

Why not a builder?

Cosmetic work, without the builder’s margin. For painting, flooring, refreshes and repairs, you don’t need a builder’s contract or a builder’s price.

How it works

1Free assessment

We walk through the property with you and talk through what’s worth doing.

A short written plan of what to do and what to leave before you sell, with an overall cost estimate and our fixed fee.

You choose from our trusted trades and pay them directly.

Trades, timing and quality, through to the date your home goes on the market.

This service is for you if you are:

Preparing to sell your home or investment property

You’re actively planning to sell and want to make informed decisions about how your property should present before going to market.

You care about first impressions and buyer appeal, but don’t want to overdo improvements that won’t add value.

You want clear, expert guidance, not sales-driven recommendations to benefit the builder.

You’d rather understand what’s worth doing (and what isn’t) before committing time or money to works.

Your goal is to get to market without the cost, mess and delay of a major renovation.

Preparing a property for sale means juggling painters, cleaners, flooring and more, usually while you’re working, moving or both. We organise every trade around the date your home goes on the market, so the property is ready when it needs to be.

ABOUT KUDO

Kudo Homes prepares Melbourne properties for sale, managed for you. We plan what’s worth doing, bring in trusted trades and run the job to the date your home goes on the market. You see every quote and pay the trades directly.

Our work is overseen by a registered domestic builder. We’ve been operating since 2018, with more than 200 renovation jobs, big and small. We’re based in Keysborough and work across Melbourne.

For the refresh work we manage, you don’t need a builder. You see every quote and pay the trades directly, with no mark-up on their work. Our fee is fixed and agreed upfront, so we don’t earn more when you spend more. And we’ll tell you what to leave alone, not just what to spend on.

No. We do refreshes, not renovations, such as a new vanity, tapware, splashback or benchtop. If you need a full renovation, we’ll tell you and point you in the right direction.

Yes. We work with owners preparing any property for sale, including investment properties.

We help you decide what’s worth doing, and what isn’t, so you don’t spend more than you’ll get back. The focus is a refresh that helps the property present well, not a full renovation.

No. We organise and schedule them, and you deal with us. The only part that’s yours is paying each trade for their work, and we tell you what’s due and when. Our fee is fixed and agreed upfront.

We plan everything back from the date your home goes on the market, and only recommend work that fits the time you have.

Yes. It’s your property, and every decision is yours.

We recommend what’s worth doing for buyers in today’s market, show you the trade quotes, and only go ahead with the work you approve.
