Redux Realtors: Speedy sale thanks to key improvements, despite tricky location

Written by jbobbett2 on .

As a follow up to our last blog post about our latest “Redux” project, we wanted to share the outcome and results. Once vacant, we assisted our seller in completing approximately $15,000 of renovations and repairs to the home to improve how it would show. When the owner’s son handed us the keys, the home had dark green, dated carpeting, lots of custom drapes and popcorn ceilings. The carpet was entirely removed from the home, along with the dated drapes (of...

The parents were not too keen on the idea of spending money on a home makeover given that there was no firm guarantee as to what the home would actually sell for. We got the bids and showed the homeowners that by spending a relatively...

Martina’s Corner: If you love what you do for a living, it’s not really work.

Written by jbobbett2 on .

If you love what you do for a living, it’s not really work. How many times have you heard this saying? Real Estate has always been a work of love to me rather than a job. Close to 25 years of helping people attain their dreams brings me great joy. This year I feel has been the busiest year ever, with so many homes needing a make-over before we put them on the market. Having an owner place his or her complete trust in me to make the right decisions on repairs, improvements,...
