ABOUT ME
Hi my name is Anita Oze and I am your Property & Renovation Consultant. I am your local authority on how to buy, renovate and sell your property, by following the 7 Steps To Renovate For Wealth. With over 25 years experience in the real estate industry as a home owner, property investor, renovator and small business owner, I have learned many tips, tricks and techniques along the way. I like to create solutions to new challenges, which I usually find have a simple and quick fix. With my team of trusted advisers, my purpose is to share my knowledge with you.
Why? Because not everyone can buy brand new properties. Buyers need to buy established properties that have the opportunity to add value to them. They want to renovate for profit. They want to build a property portfolio but not sure what the next step is. They need to sell for the highest price. Does that sound like you?
That was me. When I needed to buy and sell my properties, I felt alone, confused and unsupported. I wished I had someone to guide me, who I could bounce ideas off and understand where my money would be best spent for a ROI. I needed someone who had a large scope of knowledge so I didn’t need to search everywhere for answers or consult with multiple services for general information. I needed someone to help connect me to the services I did in fact need. I had to do it the hard way, wasting lots of time, energy and money finding the information I needed. I don’t want that for you. Ultimately investing in real estate, can give you security and an income for life.
My role as a property advisor is to help clients add value to their property so they can create equity in their home. Rather than provide a ‘done for you’ service, I prefer a ‘done with you’ service. I want you to learn as you go. To feel supported, empowered and confident. These are lessons and tools you can use anytime in future.
So whether you are needing to buy, renovate or sell your home, let me help you through the process. Book in for an Inspire Me Consult or learn how to add value to your property with Reno Inspect. Ultimately, I want you to move on to a happier, healthier and wealthier future. So tell me, how can I help you today?
FAQs
Can I renovate on a budget?
Yes of course! Simple changes that adds the most value are
* Decluttering
* Paint – inside and outside in light and neutral colours
* New carpets and polish floor boards
* Repair before you replace
* Create a new room if possible
* Garden maintenance
How much should I spend on renovating?
For cosmetic renovations it is suggested to spend up to 10% of the current property value. For example $50,000 on a $500,000 property. Of this 10%, it would be ideally spread –
2-3% Kitchen
2-3% Bathroom
2-3% Other (paint, carpet, blinds etc)
2-3% Landscaping / Frontage
What is ROI?
ROI is an acronym for Return On Investment. It is calculated by dividing the equity created by the cost. For example a $9,000 profit divided by $3,000 in costs equals 3:1. To make any renovation worthwhile of your time and risk, you need a minimum ROI of 2:1 or more
When selling is property staging really worth it?
Yes I believe it is. Statistically properties that have been professionally staged will increase the estimated sales price of a vacant property by 7%-10% and sell 50% faster. Property staging incorporates styling, maintenance and marketing presentation of the property (photo & videos)
What’s the difference between an interior designer and a property stylist?
An interior designer creates cosmetic renovation design concepts, layouts and selected finishes for the home owners’ wants and needs. They often work with builders and trades to project manage the work.
A property stylist prepares a property for sale with an understanding of the current property market, design principles and the ideal buyer buyer in mind (not the vendor’s tastes)
When is the best time to sell?
Now! Most likely you will be selling and buying a property in the same “market”. So in a buyers market you may not attract a high offer, but likewise you have the opportunity to buy a better property at a discount. It’s all relative.
When contemplating days and seasons, different homes will present better when considering –
Weather
Light
Temperature
Garden
