Why Moss Vale is different

In Moss Vale the shed is part of the sale.

Moss Vale and the villages around it, Sutton Forest, Exeter and Burradoo, are where the Highlands opens out into acreage and lifestyle blocks. Buyers here are paying for the land and the outbuildings as much as the house, so a full shed, a paddock of old machinery or a sagging fence line costs more at negotiation than it would in town.

Outbuildings photograph too

A buyer looking at a Moss Vale lifestyle block will open every shed. We clear and clean them so they read as usable space, and we deal with the machinery, timber and equipment that has built up.

Paddocks and fence lines

Slashing, fence repairs and clearing the paddocks of accumulated items so the land presents as land. The drone shot sells the block, and the drone sees everything.

Town homes with big gardens

Established Moss Vale homes close to town often have deep gardens, under house storage and a workshop. Decades of items come out, what has value is sold and the rest is cleared.

How it works

What happens once you call.

No forms and no quotes from photos. It starts with a short video call, then a walk through at the property, and from there we project manage everything to your date.

Day one

Fifteen minutes on a video call

You tell us the property, the timeline and what is standing in the way. We tell you honestly whether we are the right fit and whether it can be done in the time you have.

Within days

The walk through and a fixed price

We visit, walk every room, shed and corner together, and you receive one fixed price in writing. That price does not move.

Then

Managed to settlement

Clearing, trades, styling and presentation, sequenced back from your date and coordinated with your agent. One dedicated point of contact from start to finish.

Sounds like your place?

These are the Moss Vale situations we are called into most.

Three sheds full of machinery, timber and twenty years of items, and the agent wants drone photos next month.
You are downsizing from acreage to a smaller home in town and cannot take most of it with you.
The property is sold and settlement is weeks away with sheds still full and paddocks still to clear.
You manage the property from Sydney and need someone local to run the trades, the clearing and the open homes.

None of this needs to be stressful. Once there is a plan with a date at the end of it and one person responsible for getting there, most vendors tell us the pressure lifts on the first call.

What we handle

Everything between now and the sale.

One fixed price for the project management and the clearing, quoted in person after a walk through. Trades, stylists and skips quote and invoice you directly at their listed prices. We take no share and no referral fees.

Your items can pay for the work.

Before anything is thrown away it is sorted. Anything with value is sold and your share comes straight off the bill. If your items outsell the bill, the difference is paid to you.

Clearing

Sheds, machinery sheds, workshops, under house storage, paddocks and spare rooms sorted, decluttered and cleared. Skips are arranged and filled by us and billed to you directly by the skip company. Tools, equipment and machinery with value are sold and the proceeds come off your bill. Nothing goes to landfill unless agreed with you.

Trades

Painters, cleaners, gardeners and repairs scoped, booked and checked before sign off. Only trades we trust to a photography standard and a date.

Styling

Working with a property stylist so every room is photo ready and every open home shows the house at its best.

Open homes

Pre open cleaning and presentation checks, and short notice private inspections handled while the campaign runs.

Settlement

Upkeep while under offer, removalists, the pre settlement inspection and a final clean. You reach settlement with nothing left undone.

Common questions

Asked by Moss Vale vendors on nearly every first call.

Do you clear sheds and machinery on acreage?

Yes. Sheds and outbuildings are where most of the work is on a Moss Vale property. Machinery, tools, timber and equipment are sorted and the items with value are sold, often for more than people expect. The proceeds come off your bill. The rest is cleared and the shed is cleaned so it photographs as usable space.

Can you prepare the paddocks and fences as well as the house?

Yes. We coordinate slashing, fence repairs, removal of accumulated items and a tidy of the approach so the land presents as land in the photos and at inspections. Trades and contractors quote and invoice you directly at their listed prices.

How far ahead should I start on a lifestyle property?

Further ahead than a town house. Outbuildings and paddocks take longer to clear and the weather has a say. Eight to ten weeks before photo day is comfortable. If you have less, call us anyway and we will tell you honestly what can be done in the time.

Can you quote from photos?

No. We only quote after walking the property with you, because a photo never shows what is under the house, behind the shed door or in the roof. The walk through is free, and the fixed price you receive afterwards is the price you pay.

Do you work with my real estate agent?

Yes. You keep your own relationship with your agent and we coordinate the preparation around their photo day and open home dates. Agents across the Southern Highlands refer vendors to us for exactly this reason.

Do you use your own trades or mine?

Either. We have painters, cleaners and gardeners we trust to a photography standard and a date, and we are happy to work with trades you already know. Every trade quotes and invoices you directly at their listed price. We take no share.

Do you cover Sutton Forest, Exeter and Burradoo?

Yes. We cover Moss Vale and the villages around it, along with Bowral, Mittagong, Robertson and the greater Southern Highlands.

Which areas do you cover?

Bowral, Mittagong, Moss Vale, Robertson and the greater Southern Highlands, roughly 25 kilometres around Bowral. If you are just outside that, call anyway and we will tell you straight whether we can help.
