Updating a Home to Sell
Village Creek townhome in Costa Mesa had a nice location and a few updates, but could sell at a higher price with a more complete update. I assisted the seller during the process, then staged it and sold it for him quickly for all cash over asking price.
Living room of Costa Mesa townhome prior to the remodel project; nice wood floors.Dining room of the Costa Mesa townhome prior to the remodel; nice light fixture, but the dark cabinetry closes off the space and feels dated.Kitchen is clean and bright but is small and very dated. The old appliances, old lighting and dirty floor tile had to go.The master bath had heavy light fixtures, dirty old floor tile, leaky bath fixtures and was just plain unattractive.The townhome had a nice location, however the creek was not functioning this day.I assisted the seller in material choices like tile, counter tops and fixtures.Tearing out the kitchen floor and getting ready to paint the cabinetry.Here they have installed the new granite counter tops, new appliances, new flooring and painted the cabinetry.Already installed new tile floors in the master bath, and getting ready to install new fixtures and paint the cabinetry.Here it is complete; new carpet throughout and new paint, too. Then I added my Simple Staging.The dining room; very different look and feel with cabinets removed and remaining cabinets painted white. Simple Staging.So very nice! Recessed lighting, new granite counters, new appliances, new sink and fixture and new tile floors.Lovely! Tub and surround were re-glazed, new lighting, new tile floors, new faucet, new paint and my staging.Gorgeous little property in ideal location sold quickly for all cash and over asking price. Worth the effort to update!
