It wasn’t easy-they had lived in the house for 36 years and they liked it, just the way it was. Referred by their Realtor who just could not seem to get through with them, these White Plains clients weren’t easy. They wanted to move on and they wanted top dollar, but the dated carpeting and flooring had to come up, and the dark wall paneling had to come down- to appeal to today’s buyers.
And what stood between them and doing these necessary updates? A Steinway Baby Grand - OMG, the DUST, the MESS!
So kicking and screaming they hired Fresh Eyes to take the stress out of the process. And my resources and I, well we got to work. My trusty mover wrapped the piano, wheeling it out of the house and onto a truck, safe and sound while the work was being done. We packed, we painted and ripped up the flooring to expose beautiful hardwood flooring, no longer a "hidden asset". The brick fireplace was framed with molding to call attention to another valuable feature.
Voila! The house goes on the market tomorrow and if I must say so myself, it will definitely be putting its best foot forward! The Realtor and the homeowners are absolutely delighted and I'm on my way with tulips to add some more color.
