Villa Project Week One

By
Real Estate Agent with Dick Betts National Speaker SL3537832

Back on January 10th I shared a long-time client and friend bought a villa that needed a major facelift it closed last Friday.  Week one started quickly, the villa was turnkey so now what to keep and what to get rid of.  Buyer walked around with three different colored dots, green give away, pink try to sell and orange keep.  Next here comes The Guys, all new flooring brings samples, paint samples, plumber to move the washer and dryer out of the garage, kitchen cabinets and countertops to replace, ceiling lights and fans to replace, bathrooms to remodel.  Michelle got into the act and went with buyer to granite yard to help pick out countertops. 

Today the dumpster shows up and you know what that means?  Demo Day!  It will be a scene right out of HGTV, I might even show up to take a whack with a sledgehammer.  We have about eight weeks to get this project done and I will be doing a weekly update with a few pictures along the way.

Chip Gaines from Magnolia TV would be so proud!

Good morning Dick. Unlike for TV, will you disclose the "REAL" surprises that could be major that we never see on TV? Transparency is always best. Wishing your buyer smooth sailing and no surprises. Enjoy your day.

Hello Dick - "Demo Day" is an important stage in the progress of a renovation project.  I look forward to learning more about the advances made as well as the completion.

Nothing says demo day like a toilet in the driveway. Been there, done that!

Hi Dick- this will be fun (I say from far away knowing I don't have to get dirty) Can't wait to see the project in its different stages.

I look forward to following the progress!  I always enjoy when ugly homes are brought back to life, haha.
