Case Study of Ragweed ~ Park Village

The Story:

Common story in Park Village … this wonderful couple were original owners. After raising their family and 29 years in this home it was time to move closer to their kids and grandkids, all on the other side of the country. Sellers had added a pebble-tech pool and taken meticulous care, however, bathrooms and kitchen were original and dated. Sellers wanted to sell for top dollar “As Is.”

 

 

CRG Solution:

As we evaluated their home, features and overall condition, we suggested a few minor renovations:  replace the worn carpet in the master bathroom with luxury vinyl planking, paint the original golden oak master vanity, white, and add some hardware, touch up paint and most importantly for this home, depersonalize/declutter and allow us to professionally stage.

At first sellers were not excited about staging and wanted some kind of confirmation staging would make a difference to their bottom line. Because of our intimate knowledge of this area, we were able to show our clients that, yes, in fact, staged homes sell for more money than homes that are not staged.

Along with our stager, we put together a workable plan allowing sellers time to de-clutter and start packing up. Our contractor installed the vinyl plank flooring and painted the master bath vanity. Touch up paint and a few misc repairs set the stage for our amazing stager to come in and compliment the furniture and style of the home. When it was all said and done, the home showed like a model. Sellers were tired, but thrilled with the outcome.

We had multiple offers with the sellers netting a great return!
