A Success Story

• A long time client called re: selling the home which had been in the family for many years; both husband and wife owners were headed to assisted living.
• The home was tired in every room except the kitchen; both bathrooms badly needed updating; all new flooring – except kitchen – was needed. All window coverings were eliminated to let in more light.  Light sells; dark ‘un’sells.
• More serious was the exterior siding which had not had the needed attention; it was nearly gone from sun damage and was starting to peel.
• Jim and his team first did an inventory and then had the garage sale/antique sale to empty the home and prepare it for updates.
• Everything named above was done with all new modern colors and all new light fixtures. ROI – Return On Investment was the watchword on spending for every item needed.  Our team laser focuses on ROI on every home, no matter the price. We have trained ourselves to think ROI every day of the week !
• The exterior siding was nearly gone so a very special ‘thickened’ paint was applied, including a special primer. Fortunately this technique saved the siding.
• The typical fix and flipper would pay between $470K and $480K in order to update and make a profit, but we did all necessary updates and repairs with our FIX AND FLIP LIGHT METHODS and the home sold for $595,000. Huge profits from doing the total update and beautification.  It ended up a charming home.
• Happy sellers and it was Jim’s fifth transaction with the family. Good feelings all around. It is gratifying to assist sellers who simply are not able to do extensive work of the nature needed on this home.
