Smithman Circle is a perfect example of why having options matters.
This home was listed in 2024 for $270,000 — and it didn’t sell.
The seller was frustrated and stuck. The home needed work, and selling as-is would have barely allowed him to break even.
That’s when we stepped in through Barcenas Acquisitions LLC.
We walked the property from an investment perspective, identified what actually needed to be renovated, refreshed, or changed, and created a strategic plan focused on maximizing resale value — not over-improving.
The seller didn’t have to invest a dollar out of pocket.
After completing the recommended improvements, the home went live and was under contract in less than 30 days.
The property appraised at $338,000.
Because the seller had multiple options presented — sell as-is, or renovate and list — he was able to choose the path that made the most sense for him. At $338K, he walked away with significantly more than he ever would have selling as-is.
This is the advantage of owning both:
• Barcenas Acquisitions LLC – to evaluate, advise, and structure the right improvements
• Barcenas Home Team – to list, market, and sell the home effectively
Agents: If you have a listing that isn’t selling or a property that needs work, this is exactly the kind of situation we help with.
Homeowners: If you’re on edge because your home needs repairs, know that you have options — and you don’t have to come out of pocket to move forward.
