A fresh coat of paint in this home really went a long way in changing the aesthetics of the home. Refreshed kitchen countertops and bathrooms along with designer lighting created the drama and contemporary look we needed to attract the right buyer for the home.
4444 20th Street
This quentessential San Francisco Vicotrian was marketted by another agent as a “buy it now” home. Unfortunately, most buyers in SF are looking for a home that is more “move-in ready”. The home needed a complete refresh prior to going on the market. Once all was said and done, the home sold with a cash offer and the Seller was ecstatic with the final outcome.

140 S Van Ness Ave., No. 419
The seller purchased this SOMA home in 2018 and unfortately the market had dropped about $75,000 below the original purchase price. With an agreed upon budget of $25,000 we were able to transform this dated condominium into a contemporary style to compete with new contstruction homes in the area. Sold for the same price as purchased in 2018, the seller was extremely pleased and regretted not having made these updates while living in the home.

The seller purchased this Eureka Valley condominium in 2012. Impeccably maintained over her ownership, we didn’t need to go to great lengths to prepare the home for the market. The seller agreed to a small budget to give the home its best face forward. With 4 offers and a few quick counteroffers the home sold for $125,00 more than the Sellers expectations. A 5:1 ROI on the home prep investment to the expected sale price and nearly a 10:1 ROI to the final sale price.

Purchased in 2012 as an investment property for $815,000 the home was in need of a facelift. The seller knew he needed to make a small investment to get the most return. With a little over $40k into the property prior to sale he hoped to reach a sale price of $1,100,000.

A truly exceptional Victoiran in the Haight-Ashbury. Already a stunning home, we took advantage of the slow summer months to re-invigorate this gorgeous home to give it a modern sense of pizzazz while honoring the homes incredible history. With an expected sale price of $4,250,000 after the improvments were made, these impact these improvements had on the property led to the seller receiving three offers all at $4,995,000 with no contingencies. Now that is a good problem to have.

1200 33rd Avenue
In the same family since 1965, the home had seen a lot of changes over the years. We removed the carpet to unveil pristine hardwood floors. A fresh coat of paint and new light fixtures allowed us to showcase the homes incredible light and expansive size. Buyers were able to see themselves living in the home for 3 - 5 years while setting their own plans into motion for their dream home. Purchased by and architect and interior design family - I cannot wait to see the transformation.

Expecting to break even at $1,900,000, the seller was able to sell the home for over $2,100,000.

647 Cole Street
Finding the perfect balance of cost and impact. The home had been a perfect bachelor pad for many years before the owner got married and started a family. With fresh paint throughout and hardwood floors in the kitchen the foundation had been laid. A refreshed bathroom and cosmetic treatments to the fireplaces delivered the perfect balance. Leaving the kitchen relatively alone was risky, but with new the stagers eye for detail and the perfect touches throughout, the seller realized more than $400,000 in unexpected proceeds.

Sometimes it is difficult to take a bold and colorful pallet and make it neutral to appeal to the widest range of buyers. This home was well loved and had been the center of entertainment for decades. With the owners passing, the trustee counted on me to transform the home to meet the demands of her late brother’s estate. With a $75,000 investment, the seller received $400,000 more than expected.

This home has a terrific layout, but the home had no less than 5 different types of flooring spread across the 3 levels. By spending a little more money to install a consistent floor throughtout the home was transformed. A fresh coat of paint with some accent walls, new lighting and staging really delivered. Anticipating a $1,240,000 sale price after improvements, the seller was over the moon to close escrow at $1,570,000.
