Will the Realtor Redux method prevail? The outcome

Written by jbobbett2 on .

We’re back at our Fullerton condo, now with unobstructed majestic mountain and golf course views. The unit is bright and modern, coated in fresh interior paint with carpets cleaned. This condo had languished on the market, as not one but TWO other agents lacked the right touch to move this property. Initially a lack of home staging held homebuyers back from seeing its potential. When that didn’t work, the second agent staged with the homeowner’s existing furnishings and...

Written by jbobbett2 on .

We’re checking in again to see how our diamond in the rough cleaned up. This home has had the same owner since 1955 and was heavily smoked in.

Inside, we took up dark red carpeting to expose the original...
