ELEVATE YOUR HOME

“We had the opportunity of selling Rachel and Nathan‘s home on the Gold Coast in 2024. Styling a property is something we always recommend to sellers and we always bring a third-party person in to do the job for us.

This was not the case for Rachel and Nathan’s property - Rachel has an eye for detail and design and made the styling work really well highlighting its key features but also not overdoing it.

This was something that buyers really loved about the property and created a lot of emotional attachment during the auction campaign and I believe it added immense value to the overall sale price in the end.

They owned the property for just over 12 months and through their renovations and styling of the home the auction generated an additional $1,525,000 from what they paid for the home. I would and always will recommend Rachel for any styling and design needs, she’s the go to!”

“Last year in 2024, we had the opportunity of selling Rachel and Nathan‘s home on the Gold Coast at Mermaid Beach.

They had done some amazing renovations and additions, mainly the rear entertaining area by adding a pool and some amazing landscaping to really make the property stand out. This was the main standout point during the auction campaign from so many buyers as well as locals in the area. We took the property to auction and had an amazing result blowing the previous Mermaid Beach beachside housing record by $925,000.

As agents we see many beautiful homes all the time however the value that they added to 19 Cronulla Avenue is the reason why we were able to set another record in the area generating an additional $1,525,000 compared to what they paid for the property just 14 months prior. I’d highly recommend Rachel for her services, she’s the best and the go to!”

“Working with Rachel was an absolute game-changer. Her strategic styling and keen eye for detail completely transformed her Mermaid Beach home, creating a space that resonated with buyers on every level.

The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many commenting on how her design choices elevated the entire feel of the home - making it more inviting, luxurious, and aspirational.

One of the most talked about elements was the pool transformation, which turned the outdoor space into a stunning feature that truly set the property apart.

Every improvement Rachel and Nathan made added value, and the results speak for themselves - a $1.525M increase after just over a year of ownership. There’s no doubt that their expertise in presentation played a key role in achieving such an incredible outcome.

Rachel’s ability to highlight a home’s full potential is second to none, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for any future projects.”

“I originally sold Nathan and Rachel their Kemp St, Hamilton South home six years earlier, so I knew the property well. When they reached out in mid-2022 to list it, they were mid-renovation and to be honest, I couldn’t fully see their vision at the time. Their ambitious plans included a cabana, laundry extension, ensuite renovation, and a complete pool area facelift, all within a tight timeframe. While I already knew they had an exceptional eye for design, I didn’t realise just how much value they were about to create. I’d also sold their earlier home on their behalf in 2016—a niche property they transformed with clever exterior upgrades and standout styling, attracting the perfect buyer. That same instinct to identify exactly where to add value was on full display again at Kemp St where they maximised every inch of space. Strategic cosmetic improvements gave the home a luxurious edge and significant market appeal. The exterior was just as impressive—a new pedestrian entry, updated fencing and lush landscaping gave the property instant wow factor. And Rachel’s styling was flawless. Buyers were genuinely blown away—not only by the design and finish, but also by how immaculately the home was maintained while they still lived there with three teenagers and two dogs. The result was a record-breaking sale that set a new benchmark for Hamilton South and has recently helped elevate Kemp Street into Newcastle’s top five most expensive streets—an achievement no other suburb outside Merewether has matched. Their meticulous attention to detail, thoughtful renovations, and high-impact presentation made all the difference. Rachel’s design and styling expertise is a huge asset to any seller. I’ve seen the results firsthand and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. Her eBook, Open Home Mastery: Blueprint to Success, is a must-have for anyone serious about maximising their sale price and leaving a lasting impression on buyers.”
