When Emily Ruth’s best friends, Stephen and Sarah, needed to quickly list and sell their home after inadvertently stumbling upon the GOAT, unicorn home of their dreams, we put together a to do list quickly, leaned on Compass Concierge, and got to work.
They had a lifetime of memories on the wall that needed to be paired down so the future buyers could picture living in the home. In addition, their son Oliver, had an incredible lego collection mounted on the walls of his bedroom. Remember, anything attached to the walls, unless explicitly excluded, conveys with the home sell.
Despite the home being incredibly well maintained with a strong foundation, there were standard hairline cracks that could possibly deter future home buyers. We paired down the art work, removed all of the built in shelves and legos, and repainted almost everywhere, leaning on Sarah and Stephen’s great taste and color choices.
There was a broken window and a few small to do’s like repair missing tile and regrout that we took care of as well.
The biggest changes happened to the exterior. We repainted the existing colors and home really popped. The lilac, maroon, and white paint colors had really dulled after time. Sarah and Stephen both lamented that they really wished they had painted a long time ago.
How did this work out for them? Incredibly well! After four days with over 50 showings and 4447 online views, we received multiple offers and accepted an offer for $25,000 over asking. Also, in combination with the homeowner’s (one of our favorite inspectors) due diligence over the years, the buyers did not ask for any concessions at all during the option period.
