Cherie Barber<\/strong> \u2013 the Renovation Queen \u2013 tells us where she goes shopping for the best deals on the bits and pieces she uses in her television renovations.
\nTranscript :<\/strong>
\nKevin:<\/b>\u00a0 Some great news for you today. The Powerhouses of Property Tour is on around Australia right now, and heading it up is Cherie Barber, who joins me as our guest, the Queen of Renovation.
\nGood day, Cherie. How are you doing?
\nCherie:<\/b>\u00a0 Really well. Thank you, Kevin.
\nKevin:<\/b>\u00a0 Good. Now, tell me about the tour: who can we see, and what can we expect to see there?
\nCherie:<\/b>\u00a0 Okay. Two speakers, myself teaching people how to do low-budget, quick cosmetic renovations, how to get in and spruce up a property and not spend too much money but massively uplift the value of the property.
\nI also tour with a lovely lady called Dominique Grubisa. Dominique is one of Australia\u2019s top asset protection and debt specialists, and what she\u2019s going to teach people is how to protect their property assets that they have in their personal name.
\nLet\u2019s face it; we live in an age where people can sue people. She\u2019s going to show people how to protect their assets moving forward without having to take those properties out and put them into other complex trust structures.
\nKevin:<\/b>\u00a0 Yes, it\u2019s an unfortunate part of what we\u2019re going through right now, but you have to really protect yourself, so that\u2019s some great advice.
\nHow can we get some detail about when and where it\u2019s all on, Cherie?
\nCherie:<\/b>\u00a0 For people who are interested in coming, it\u2019s a free master class, a one-day master class. I\u2019m on stage for about 2\u00bd hours, as is Dominique. All they have to do is jump on my website, RenovatingForProfit.com.au, and they can register for their free ticket.
\nKevin:<\/b> \u00a0Okay, so go ahead and do that.
\nHey, Cherie, just on another point, I saw you recently on Sky TV, their real estate show, talking about places to go to get cheaper or more affordable renovation material. Tell me about that.
\nCherie:<\/b>\u00a0 Okay, yes. It seems these days that everybody is renovating on a budget. Let\u2019s face it; most Australians don\u2019t have $50,000 sitting in their bank account, so more and more people are having to do budget renovations these days. It\u2019s just a fact of life.
\nThere\u2019s a heap of ways that you can get your renovation fixtures and fittings on the cheap. One of the strongest ways is traditionally not going into a retail store. When you go into a retail store, those companies have big overheads called rent, so a lot of people these days are jumping online. They\u2019re jumping online to sites like eBay.com.au, Gumtree. I buy an incredible amount of good-quality, secondhand materials on those sites for a fraction of the price.
\nThere are other sites where they have dedicated websites just for one type of product. For example, a great website at the moment is called SecondhandKitchens.com.au. Kevin, if you jump on that website, you can go get yourself a great secondhand kitchen that in some cases still looks brand new for $1000 to $2000.
\nKevin:<\/b>\u00a0 Wow. Yeah, I\u2019ve heard of a number of people doing that. It is amazing what some people will actually not have any use for anymore and are quite prepared to sell it at a very low price, Cherie.
\nCherie:<\/b>\u00a0 What happens is people buy a house and they move in, and they go, \u201cOh, I don\u2019t like that kitchen. I don\u2019t like the kitchen cabinet color. I don\u2019t like the benchtop.\u201d So, what they often do is actually rip it out, and more often than not, it ends up in a skip bin.
\nBut the smart people actually put those secondhand kitchens and other secondhand items\u2026 Things like doors, old shade pergola systems, lots of that sort of stuff can go online. Why pay retail price if you don\u2019t have to?
\nKevin:<\/b>\u00a0 Okay. Just quickly, run me through some of those websites again. I know Gumtree. There was another one you said. Was it SecondhandKitchens.com.au?
\nCherie:<\/b>\u00a0 eBay, you have Gumtree, you have a great website called Renovator Auctions. I buy floorboards on that website for $1 a lineal meter, for example. There are other websites, such as eGarageSales.com.au. It\u2019s like an online garage sale site, and again, people stick everything on there: renovation materials, secondhand furniture that you can easily trick up and repurpose.
\nThere\u2019s a stack of websites; renovationd.com.au is another great one. One of the ones I really love, believe it or not \u2013 I\u2019m sounding like a real cheapskate here, Kevin \u2013 Salvos.org.au. Particularly for TV renovations, I\u2019m always on a budget, and the first place I head to is the Salvos. You find incredible secondhand furniture that through a lick of specialty paint, you can trick up and make it look brand new for a sliver of the cost of retail.
\nKevin:<\/b>\u00a0 Yeah, and you\u2019re supporting a great organization too, the Salvo. There was another one mentioned. Was it SecondhandKitchens.com.au? Was that what it was called?
\nCherie:<\/b>\u00a0 SecondhandKitchens.com.au. There are a lot of auction sites, places like Sal\u2019s Auctions. What are some others?
\nKevin:<\/b>\u00a0 You could do a lot worse than actually going and Googling that too, couldn\u2019t you? You\u2019d probably have them all pop up then.
\nCherie:<\/b>\u00a0 Yeah. What you do is you just Google \u201ccheap reno fixtures and fittings,\u201d and a lot of those websites come up. You just have to know where to look. Unfortunately, most people just think \u201cI have to go to the shop.\u201d When you go and you walk into a retail store, you\u2019re going to be paying full retail price.
\nKevin:<\/b>\u00a0 Yes, absolutely. Some great advice there from Cherie Barber. Don\u2019t forget about The Powerhouses of Property Tour. Go to Cherie\u2019s website, which we\u2019ll have a link to in this transcript as well of this interview. Make sure you go and check that out for yourself.
\nCherie, great talking to you. Talk again soon.
\nCherie:<\/b>\u00a0 Thank you, Kevin.
