Your Neighbor Just Sold for 5% Over Asking
Path to soldOur team completed a home makeover in just two weeks to ensure it was in the best possible condition for presentation. By using our proven marketing process, we attracted the maximum number of showings resulting in a multiple offer situation for our client.
Here’s how we did it:
What Needed to Get Done Fast
Haul Away
We helped facilitate hauling away everything left in the house that they did not move to the new house.
Swapped Out Electric Fixtures
Some of the light fixtures were very dated. Simply swapping out a few key fixtures in the main areas can make a huge positive impact in pictures and for showings.
Paint
A fresh coat of paint is one of the best things you can do before listing your home. With our connections to quality painting crews, we were able to coordinate getting it done in time for the open house.
Carpet (clean and replace)
Some carpet needed to be replaced, some just needed good cleaning. Our trusted carpet contact was able to help in time.
Landscaping
Even getting a landscaper out for one day can make a huge difference. It’s a great way to help facilitate a good first impression when it’s time to hit the market.
Repairs to the front porch
The front porch is where many first impressions of the home are crafted, so we made sure that minor repairs were addressed.
Deep Cleaning
With those items complete, it was time to get our cleaning crew in to get it ready for staging and pictures.
Staging
We cannot stress what quality staging (sometimes in just a few key rooms) can make when selling a home. We were able to get one of the best stagers scheduled on short notice.
Professional Photos and Virtual Tour
Now that everything else was in place, it was time to get the photos together so the coming soon marketing could begin.
Outcome
The seller was so excited by the transformation that he sent us this text when he saw the photos:
Holy s@$t!!! Is that my house…
We just looked at the pictures and they were amazing. I cannot believe how incredible the house looks.
In the first week listed, the home had over 60 showings and we received 7 quality offers. The end result was a sale at over 5% of the list price, a quick closing, and the sellers were able to move onto the next thing in their lives.
We’ve worked hard to build a team just for these types of complexities. If you’re ready to talk strategy about your home sale – give us call, we’d love to help.
