Our clients reached out to us in response to one of our mailers, as they envisioned moving into a new home and adjusting to life with their second child. Knowing that spring would bring stronger buyer activity, we helped them make the transition at the end of February into a beauitful new home, while preparing their condo for market. In just over a week, our team managed the turnover, redesigning the home with a new color palette, updated fixtures and hardware, fresh paint, repairs, new carpet, wall moldings, and intentional staging. Because the unit was in original condition, we carefully considered how buyers would compare its value to other homes in the building and positioned it to create broad demand. The strategy generated 13 offers. When a foundation leak was identified during inspection, we acted within 24 hours to open the wall, coordinate a Permaseal repair, and close everything back up, keeping the transaction on track.

These clients purchased the building with a different agent at the beginning of COVID and later realized that managing this multi-unit wasn’t the right fit for them. Given our experience owning multi-unit properties and working extensively with multi-unit buyers and sellers, they turned to us to help sell the property. We generated seven offers before the transaction was terminated due to the condition of the roof. Rather than move to the next offer, we determined that replacing the roof was the more cost-effective option and were able to resurrect the original deal. We brought in our contractor, managed the project through completion, and worked with a VA inspector to ensure everything was completed properly within one week, during the winter, allowing the transaction to close.

Our clients were relocating to a new home during the fall months and could have rushed their Avondale home to market, but we advised them to wait till Spring when buyer demand is consistently much stronger.
