One of my favorite parts of what I do is providing recommendations for pre-listing upgrades. When I first saw this home, it had amazing bones but I knew buyers would never be able to see past the burgundy walls, heavy curtains and carpet throughout.
With a loan from , my client was able to:
✔️do a pre-listing inspection
✔️hire movers
✔️hire a contractor to complete my recommended changes
✔️rent an interim apartment
✔️AND pay for staging
With none of the costs due until closing.
We didn’t do anything drastic. The goal was to spend minimally and wisely, investing in the components that matter most for presentation to buyers - new paint, new flooring, clean and usable bathrooms and kitchen. A house that is warm, clearly well-maintained and still has room for customization. A house that still has a soul.
Safe to say, we found the perfect buyers to be the next stewards of this home, and my seller is thrilled with some extra cushion to start his new chapter in retirement.
