Spring into Selling: Your Weekend Property Prep Checklist
As the temperatures rise and the jacarandas start to bloom across Greater Springfield, Brookwater, Ipswich and surrounds, spring marks the hottest season for selling homes. Buyers are out in force, properties look their best, and the market is buzzing.
At V & Co. Realty, we know that a standout spring sale doesn’t happen by chance - it comes down to preparation. The good news? You can set yourself up for success in just one weekend with a focused plan. Think of it like a “spring clean with a purpose”: freshen up, tick off the essentials, and get your home ready to impress.
Here’s your Spring Property Prep Checklist (yes, you can check it all off in one weekend!).
✅ Agent Selection: Lock in Your Dream Team
Don’t wait until the signboard is ordered to choose your agent.
☐ Meet with a local expert who understands your suburb
☐ Ask about strategy, pricing, and timelines
☐ Choose someone who feels like a true partner (spoiler: that’s us at V & Co. Realty 😉)
✅ Boost Your Curb Appeal
First impressions bloom before buyers even step inside.
☐ Mow and edge lawns, trim hedges, and weed gardens
☐ Plant colourful spring flowers or fresh potted plants
☐ Wash down paths, driveways, and fences
☐ Freshen up the front door with paint or polish the hardware
☐ Add welcoming touches like a doormat or house numbers
✅ Declutter & Stage Like a Pro
Think fresh, light, and spacious.
☐ Clear benchtops, coffee tables, and shelves
☐ Pack away personal photos and memorabilia
☐ Rearrange furniture to maximise space and flow
☐ Swap out heavy winter décor for fresh spring styling (light throws, floral touches, neutral tones)
☐ Deep clean bathrooms and kitchens until they sparkle
✅ Tackle Repairs & Touch-Ups
Small fixes make a big difference.
☐ Patch and paint scuffed walls
☐ Replace tired carpet or polish floors
☐ Fix leaky taps or squeaky doors
☐ Refresh grout in kitchens and bathrooms
☐ Check light fittings and replace dull globes with bright, energy-efficient ones
