In this episode of the Trends Property Insight Series, we are joined by Shane Waaka, who is the kind of handyman every seller wants in their corner: practical, creative, and laser-focused on adding real value without blowing the budget. In this episode, Shane shares how he helps homeowners make cost-effective improvements that enhance street appeal and increase buyer interest, especially when time and budget are tight.
Drawing on years of experience across everything from fencing to kitchen overhauls, Shane explains why the outside of your home is just as important as the inside, and how smart tweaks, like repainting cabinets or re-siliconing your bathroom, can make all the difference. He discusses the power of planning, how to work efficiently without formal drawings, and what to look for when buying or preparing a house for sale.
Whether you're gearing up for market, stuck with an outdated kitchen, or just need to breathe life into a tired fence, Shane's approach proves you don’t need a huge budget to make a huge impact. It's not about doing everything, it’s about doing the right things, the right way.
