About Us
Your Trusted Partners in Unlocking Retirement Freedom
At Upstyler Homes, we understand that your home is more than just a roof over your head.
It’s where your memories live, and it’s likely your biggest financial asset. For many Australian retirees, the family home holds untapped value—value that can help you live the retirement you’ve worked so hard for. But unlocking that value, while maintaining your independence, can feel overwhelming.That’s where we come in.
Our Mission: Taking the Stress Out of Big Decisions
We’re here to help you take the stress out of what can be one of the biggest decisions of your life: what to do with your home as you enter your retirement years. Whether you’re looking to downsize, rightsize, or need help selling your home quickly, we guide you every step of the way with a personalized, compassionate approach. Our goal is to make sure you retire with confidence—knowing that your financial future is secure, and you have the freedom to live life on your terms.
Our Approach: More than just Selling Homes
At Upstyler Homes, we don’t just sell homes—we maximize their value. Our process is designed to help you get the most out of your property while making sure it aligns with your long-term retirement goals. Every project is tailored to your specific needs, and our services include:
- Decluttering and staging your home to attract the best buyers
- Subdividing or developing your land, where possible, to unlock more value
- Handling all aspects of the sale, so you don’t have to worry about the details
But what truly sets us apart is our unique business model.
How We're Paid
A Results-Based Fee Structure That Benefits You
A Partnership That Puts You First
At Upstyler Homes, we believe in aligning our success with yours. That’s why our fee structure is based on results. Instead of charging you upfront or adding hidden fees, we work on a model where we only get paid after you receive an agreed-upon value from the sale of your home. This makes the process stress-free and ensures you always know what to expect.
Here’s How It Works:
Costs Are Recovered First
If your project involves costs such as decluttering, renovations, or legal fees for subdivision, we cover those expenses upfront. These costs are recovered from the sale proceeds of your home, not from your pocket.
Your Value Is Guaranteed
We work with you to establish an agreed-upon value that you’ll receive from the sale. No matter what happens with the market or the project, you’ll receive this amount, giving you financial certainty.
Our Fee Is Linked to Success
After you receive your agreed value, our fee is taken from any remaining proceeds. Our fees range from $10,000 to $200,000 per project, depending on the size and complexity of the job, but we only get paid if the sale goes through and your goals are met.
Example
Let’s say you want to receive $500,000 from the sale of your home to help fund your retirement. After we declutter, stage, or even renovate the property, the home sells for $700,000. First, we recover any project costs. You receive your $500,000, as agreed, and our fee is taken from the remaining proceeds. It’s a win-win for everyone: you get the financial outcome you need, and we are rewarded for our successful partnership.
This clear and transparent structure means you’ll never be left guessing about costs—and you can focus on enjoying the next stage of your life, without worrying about the details.
