Real estate upgrades in preparation for listing are a delicate balance between maximizing improvement value and appealing to target buyers, without spending more than you hope to recover in the sale.
We recently completed a renovation of this investment property condominium in Seattle, resulting in dramatic improvements and exceeding the targeted asking price. The client and ACI identified new flooring, paint, cabinetry and lighting as ‘first impression’ priorities. We also allotted funds for new appliances and upgraded doors throughout. Goodbye mirrored closets…
We removed a dark sliding door which interrupted the panoramic view and divided the large rooms awkwardly. Now the focus is immediately on the view- a distinguishing selling point. We replaced the dated and damaged floors and fireplace. These simple, cost effective solutions transitioned this unit from dark and dated to fresh, clean, and welcoming.
