In this week’s episode of Selling Houses Australia, Shaynna pulled out her well-used sledgehammer to open up what was a small shack into a light, airy coastal retreat.

The challenge
Steve and Serena desperately needed to sell their beachfront home in NSW’s Dolphin Point in order to fund their youngest son’s ongoing costs to treat a rare medical condition. Even with breathtaking views, the lack of maintenance, confusing layout and retro styling massively deterred buyers and no offers had been made on the property in the last 12 months. With this surfing family stuck in a whitewash, the Selling Houses team had their work cut out.

How to wow buyers with space and light
Having a home with a rabbit-warren layout is one of the biggest turn-offs to buyers. And in these days of open plan living, it’s become a very old-fashioned way to live. Shaynna’s biggest task in this home was to tackle the layout and add some serious style to t

Priced nearly 50% over the suburb median and with more quirks than quality, there’s not a buyer in sight! Time for Shaynna and Charlie to perform another not-so-minor miracle.

Why the Hamptons look never

This week’s episode of Selling Houses Australia saw Andrew, Shaynna and Charlie fighting dust, heat and the ravages of family life to turn a home from bust to boom!

The challenge
Molly and Tom bought their 5-bedroom home in Mt. Isa at the height of the mining boom, but since then, the market’s headed south and so has the state of their property. With the couple still asking for top dollar, Shaynna and Charlie had to dig deep into their bag of tricks to get this family out of their property predicament.

Changing the little things makes a big difference
The dining room was tired and oppressive, but Shaynna showed that changing a few small things can make any room look brand new. She replaced the flooring, painted the ugly brown cabinetry white and added our Shore rat
