“From start to finish, Ian was very professional—organised, proactive, and attentive to every detail. He helped manage everything from coordinating all tradies through to staging and ensuring that every task was completed on time. The property was market-ready and exceeded my expectations.”

I have worked closely with Ian and the Market Ready team since 2020 on multiple premium property projects. They have successfully managed a diverse range of complex jobs for me, including replacing tennis courts, looking after expansive family estates, and preparing deceased estates for market. Their work is consistently flawless. In fact, their incredible attention to detail and professional presentation directly contributed to the sale of the top valued house in New Zealand in 2024. The single point of contact model they use is brilliant. Instead of wasting time managing separate contractors, Ian handles the entire project from start to finish. They understand how to maximise property value while keeping the entire process stress-free. They are professional, reliable, and deliver exceptional results every single time.

My apartment was damaged pre sale. Ian and Market Ready turned around a quick repair in time for settlement. Finding and getting tradies to come on such short notice would have been a nightmare (let alone the time spent meeting them and providing access). Market Ready made this super easy and they are incredible to work with. Highly recommend for anyone who wants stress free support pre-sale. Thanks Ian!

We had a tricky kitchen reno and the kitchen supplier only handled the cabinets and benchtop, not all of the structural alterations, power, plumbing, flooring, carpeting, painting etc etc needed. Ian did a brilliant job of organising the tradies, providing practical advice, and stepping in himself when we were struggling to meet a deadline. And all with a smile and relaxed attitude. Thanks Ian and Market Ready, we couldn't have got a beautiful new kitchen without you! The outcome is fantastic, and your guidance was as reassuring as it was invaluable :)

Ian was so easy to work with, and the results exceeded expectations. We engaged Ian to manage a range of jobs at our 1940s property in Remuera as part of getting the house ready for sale. He helped us with a number of jobs such as exterior washing, interior painting, fixing jammed doors/windows, renewing electrics, new decking, outdoor paving, landscaping and cleaning up once all the work was done. We appreciated his fair quotes, honest advice and how he carried out all the work to a high standard. His clear communication and proactive project management meant that we didn't have to worry about anything during the process. The property looks miles better and is much more appealing. We would absolutely recommend his services.

We recently worked with Ian and the team at Market Ready to prepare our apartment for sale, and the experience was seamless from start to finish. They coordinated and completed all pre-sale works, including painting, carpet repairs, and tile repairs, with an impressive turnaround time. Communication throughout the process was clear, proactive, and professional, which removed a significant amount of stress from what is typically a demanding phase. Most importantly, the quality of the work directly contributed to achieving our desired sale outcome. Having a single point of contact manage all trades and execution ensured efficiency and consistency across the project. I would highly recommend Ian and Market Ready to anyone looking to maximise their property’s value ahead of sale while maintaining a streamlined, hands-off process.

Market Ready handled all the work and preparation for our home before going to market, and the outcome exceeded our expectations. We were referred by our real estate agent, Paul Sissons from Sotheby's and we’re so glad we followed his recommendation.
