🏡 JUST CLOSED ESCROW!
40585 154th Street East, Lake Los Angeles
✅ SOLD FOR FULL LIST PRICE
✅ JUST 8 DAYS OF MARKETING TIME
This closing is a great example of why preparing a home properly before it hits the market can make such a big difference.
When I first met with the seller, the property needed some work before we could put it in the best position to sell. The seller didn’t have the funds available to take on all of the repairs and cleanup upfront, so we came up with a plan.
I brought in contractors who helped us:
🔨 Clear and clean up the property
🧹 Deep clean the entire house
🏡 Install brand-new carpet
📐 Install new 4-inch baseboards
✨ Get the home cleaned up, refreshed and ready for buyers
Instead of putting the house on the market in its original condition and leaving money on the table, we did the work necessary to make sure buyers saw the property at its best.
The result?
We generated a strong response immediately, went into escrow after only 8 DAYS of marketing, and CLOSED AT FULL LIST PRICE.
Sometimes getting top dollar isn’t about spending a fortune remodeling a house. It’s about knowing which improvements will actually matter to buyers, having the right people to get the work done, and presenting the property correctly from day one.
Congratulations to my seller on a successful closing, and thank you for trusting me to handle the sale!
If you’re thinking about selling but your house needs repairs, cleanup or some work before going on the market, don’t assume you have to handle everything yourself before calling a Realtor.
There may be a better way.
