What a Difference a Hair Cut Makes! it's all about seeing the house.

By
Real Estate Agent with Remax equity group DRE# 200506219

Really need no words to explain this one.  It's the before and after photos that tell the story!  Perfectly charming house on the interior, well maintained. great updates, lovely hardwoods and perfectly chosen paint colors, high ceilings and large rooms, fireplace and rooms filled with light.

But, it was hard to see from the street. Didn't want people driving by and deciding not to go in for any reason.  Especially beause the interior photos were going to look like dynamite; the exterior had to look as good. Great clients - they listened and worked with one of the talented landscape people in our list of great vendors. 

Results? Spectacular curb appeal - and an accepted offer on the first day! Fingers crossed for the inspections and appraisal - and anticipating good outcomes with those too.

Wow, what a difference a trim can make.  I bet it let a little more light into this home too.

Speaking of haircuts, perhaps I should head out to visit Dee since she hasn't seen my beautiful hair in a long time.

By the way, can you send your trimmer over to this house:

My Clients' new house

Last time I drove by, my Clients had not done anything to the front of the house.

Hi Russel -- LOL -- since he has family near there, he actually might go -- for expenses and a meal!

That's a great way to add instant curb appeal!  It now looks loved, not neglected.
