Here’s a story from the archives:
Jeff & Jill bought a new house and closed on it in mid-December. They had a sweet home in Ballard to sell, and wanted to get it on the market as soon as possible after New Year’s Day. But they were headed out of town to spend the holidays with family, and there was much to do to get the house ready!
They had planned to spend some money to fix up the house prior to sale. We advised them to use the same budget, but focusing on different items than what they’d had in mind: hiring contractors to refinish the floors, paint some fresh new colors, clean the carpet, replace a rotten window, freshen up the landscaping, and professionally stage.
While Jeff & Jill were enjoying their holidays, we got the contractors in to do the work, and consulted with an interior designer to choose paint colors that worked beautifully in the house. We made sure the projects were completed on time and within the budget.
Brad supplemented this makeover by repairing and painting a picket fence, installing pavers to improve the entry to the house, replacing the dining room and kitchen lighting, fixtures, and door hardware, and numerous other details that made the house really shine.
The end result: seven offers, a selling price 10% above expectations, and ecstatic clients!
