In the slow sales market that we are experiencing now, it is more important than ever that a home be fresh, updated and in great condition. This home had been remodeled a while back, then turned into a rental. Needless to say, it had a few issues that needed to be addressed. Starting at the curb, we developed an action plan for our very handy home sellers. They were up for the challenges that we gave them and tirelessly worked to take care of the items on the list. One of the biggest challenges was curb appeal - this was a 70's ranch that was sadly lacking in appeal.
New plantings, mulch, neatly mowed and trimmed lawn topped off with crisp white shutters and a picket fence did the trick!
Inside, the challenge was to bring this vacant home to life by using furniture and accessories purchased off of Craigslist by the seller. Some quick re-upholstery projects helped even the tired furniture!
We finished the staging at noon on Monday and by Monday evening the first offer was in. By the end of the week, the house was in escrow at only $5,000 below asking price. A well-staged home in bright and shiny condition will rise to the top of the competition and sell quickly - even in a slow market!
