As an architect, I often find it amazing just how many poorly-designed homes can be sold. Hats off to realtors for their incredible selling skills. But for those of you who have a poorly-desiged home which you are trying to sell, my advice is this. SHOW POTENTIAL!! Not only are not likely to sell the home, but you certainly will not get top dollar unless you are able to communicate the space's POTENTIAL.
Many architects love to work with realtors to come up with renderings and sample floor plans. Often, they will work gratis in hopes the prospective buyer will execute the proposed remodel. As an architect, this is a win win situation for all involved. It also makes YOU, the realtor, seem more professional. YOU cared enough to show what the space could be like. The world revolves around great ideas, let an architect help you envision the space and sell this to clients. You'll be surprised how exciting people can become over and otherwise unattractive piece of real estate.
Of course, there is a time and place to bring in the architect. Location has to be good, and you probably want to do something like this when you have one of the inferior homes on the block. Team up with an architect and watch your sales skyrocket. Our realtors have been doing this for years!
