The Who

Hi, I’m Liesl, the founder of Sanctuary Pre-Sale Home Prep. My passion for design, color, and real estate led me to create this business with the goal of helping homeowners, property developers, and real estate agents in the Hutt Valley and Wellington regions showcase their properties in the best possible light for the market.

I’m not just focused on aesthetics — I’m a real estate marketing expert dedicated to preparing homes for sale in a way that maximises their value.

My priority is to ensure that every home I work with presents as strongly as possible, making a lasting first impression on potential buyers. Whether it’s enhancing a property’s curb appeal, styling rooms for visual impact, or making strategic updates, I aim to help sellers retain their equity and sell quickly for top dollar.

With an Expert Level Staging Design Professional™ Certification from Staging Studio and certification as an Occupied Consultation Specialist™, I bring a wealth of expertise to each project. I understand that buyers form opinions in seconds, so I make it my mission to create an environment where they can instantly imagine themselves living in your home. From pre-sale prep to styling for market photos, I’m here to ensure your property stands out and appeals to its target buyers.
