About Section

Most homeowners leave $50,000–$150,000 on the table when they sell. I make sure that doesn't happen. I'm Kim Persson, Managing Director of Renovation Matters — Canberra's specialist renovate-to-sell company. We take tired, dated, or neglected properties and transform them into homes that buyers fight over at auction. My path here wasn't conventional. I started as a registered nurse in Melbourne, moved to Stockholm for eight years where I ran a 120-seat call centre, then returned to Australia and spent a decade in corporate learning and development at Bupa. Along the way I renovated every home I lived in — and kept noticing the same thing: the properties that sold fastest and highest were the ones that had been thoughtfully updated, not expensively gutted. That insight became a business. Since launching Renovation Matters in 2021, we've completed 100+ renovation projects across Canberra and regional NSW. Our clients include real estate agents preparing listings, families managing deceased estates, interstate owners who've never set foot in the property, and everyday homeowners who want top dollar without the stress. What makes us different: ✓ Renovate Now, Pay at Settlement — no upfront costs. We fund the renovation and you pay when the property sells. ✓ One point of contact — we manage every trade, every timeline, every detail. You don't chase plumbers or painters. ✓ 34 five-star reviews and counting. ✓ CWIB Business Woman of the Year finalist. Whether you're an agent with a listing that needs work, a solicitor handling a deceased estate, or a homeowner thinking about selling in the next 6–12 months — let's talk. I'll walk you through exactly what to renovate, what to leave alone, and what return to expect. ☎ 0400 XXX XXX | kim@renovationmatters.com.au | renovationmatters.com.au
