Next Project, Not as Major as the Last One

By
Real Estate Agent with Dick Betts National Speaker SL3537832

People have different reasons for wanting a home in a certain area and that is the case with this one.  The buyers have several friends in the area and wanted to be close.  With ideas about the home they wanted Jodi Nelson, one of the team agents and myself went to work trying to find the perfect home in the selected area, there wasn’t one.  We did find a project home that needed some work which would not be as expensive as the villa project before.  I explained to the buyers what you see you don’t like would be changed to what you want.  We left the home and went to the villa which was in the finally stages of the remodel.  I explained the changes, showed them the flooring, baseboards, and some of the lighting, they picked it all for their home.  They told us they did not want a dated home; they are not going to have one!

If you look at the before and after pictures the columns and header that was the first thing to go.  Next the popcorn, all new flooring and lighting.  Handyman Joe and his crew are hard at work and Mario the painter will be coming once drywall work is done.  The buyers haven’t seen the home since they bought it and won’t for a few more weeks, can’t wait for them to see the project when they return.

Good morning Dick. Project homes in The Villages are becoming more popular as "location" becomes the number one factor for a purchase. It is similar in many other parts pf the country. Enjoy your day.

Sometimes it makes sense to buy a home that needs a bit of work, and get it done right away. I am sure they will be thrilled!

Projects are a way of clearing out the old style to update to the new. 
Hope it becomes exactly what they

Hi Dick- You provide something that not all agents do. I'm sure many buyers are overwhelmed at the thought of a project like this but you remove a lot of the stress.
