Feedback from Brisbane homeowners who painted before selling.
“The painters Steve referred repainted the entire interior of our Ashgrove Queenslander before sale. The agent said it was the single best investment we made. Sold above reserve.”
“Fantastic exterior repaint on our weatherboard home. The painters Steve referred matched the heritage palette perfectly and finished two days ahead of schedule. Highly recommend.”
“We needed the whole house done in under a week before our open home. The painters Steve referred delivered on time with an incredible finish. The buyers commented on how fresh everything looked.”
Common questions about presale painting in Brisbane.
It depends on the size of your home and how much work is needed. Interior-only jobs usually run between $3,000 and $7,000. If you want both interior and exterior done, expect $6,000 to $12,000. We give fixed-price quotes so you know exactly what you are paying before any work starts.
Most interior jobs take 3 to 7 days depending on property size and room count. Exterior painting is usually 2 to 4 days if the weather cooperates. We always work around your listing date and open home schedule so everything is finished and dry well before buyers walk through.
Painting is one of the best returns you can get before selling. A $5,000 to $8,000 investment in paint can add $20,000 to $50,000 in perceived value for buyers. Fresh, neutral colours remove objections, photograph well, and tell buyers the home has been looked after. Most Brisbane agents will tell you it is the first thing they recommend.
Neutral whites and soft greys work best with Brisbane buyers. Dulux Natural White or Lexicon Quarter are solid choices for walls. For living areas, a warm grey like Dulux Limed White adds some warmth without being too bold. Antique White works well for ceilings and trim. Steve can connect you with painters who provide colour consultations, tailored to your suburb and buyer profile.
