Realtor Redux: A ‘Light’ Redux in La Habra Brings in an Extra $60k

Written by jbobbett2 on January 18, 2021.

When we received a call to discuss the sale of a home in La Habra, it was right up our alley. The seller was looking to sell his long-time family home and was very aware and direct about its need for a facelift. It had been advised, by another agent, that the seller spend upward of $60,000 to do a major renovation thereby increasing the potential asking price of the home. When this was explained to us we offered a different approach. Since the large scale and very expensive...

Realtor Redux: An Inspired Improvement in Tustin

Written by jbobbett2 on October 20, 2020.

When a past client from nearly 10 years ago contacted us to assist with the sale of his home in Tustin, we were thrilled to be trusted and for his loyalty. He acknowledged that the home could stand for a bit of inspired improvement, and Martina was just the person to coordinate our efforts and oversee those improvements. Due to the seller’s out of state moving schedule, we started the redux on the exterior of the home beginning with major growth and shrub removal from the...

Will the Realtor Redux method prevail? The outcome

Written by jbobbett2 on March 4, 2020.

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...

Realtor Redux: Mid-century Home Modern Again

Written by jbobbett2 on August 16, 2019.

We’re back at our mid-century home in Fullerton and putting the final touches on some modern updates we think will help this house fetch the best price once we go to market.

We gave the interior walls a coat of fresh paint and painted the red brick fireplace white, we removed drop florescent lighting in the kitchen and installed recessed lighting, and we removed all window coverings and a host of other...

Realtor Redux: Our diamond shines bright; light and welcoming

Written by jbobbett2 on July 29, 2019.

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. Years of wear and tear meant the home needed a deep cleaning and a few choice improvements. We had a total budget of $5,500 to work with and immediately got to work by removing exterior window awnings, power washing the exterior and repainting porch railing and the front door. Inside, we took up dark red carpeting to expose the original...
