What I Do |
As a seasoned realtor working in property management, I have the insight as well as experience to guide you through the overwhelming process of designing, budgeting and implementing your sales prep to allow you to maximize your investment!
|
OPTIMAL SALES STRATEGY |
Determining your optimal sales strategy will depend on a myriad of factors beyond just the property condition and market demand. Sellers traditionally benefit immensely by making improvements and repairs in line with popular styles. My sellers generally receive over 100% return on the investment they put into those last minute upgrades before sale.
|
CREATE A ROADMAP |
I will create a thorough work list of necessary and economical upgrades and repairs that will help achieve the optimal return.
|
INSIDER LABOR PRICES |
Working in property management and sales allows us to work on hundreds of jobs a year with dozens of contractors and technicians in the DMV. You will enjoy insider prices from contracting companies who aspire to garner the bulk work our firm can offer them.
|
DESIGN |
I will assist you in selecting econonical fixtures that will compliment your property while staying in line with market demand. Sellers can be as involved or uninvolved as they prefer. We will use current trends to inform all design selections
|
BUDGET |
I will provide you with three different budget plans and their estimated out-sales.
|
ON SITE PROJECT LEADERSHIP |
I spend many weeks with these contractors on site and on the phone in constant communication
|
LIST & SELL |
Factoring in When to sell is an essential part of this process. We don't want to put in value if we finish the project in a bad time of year. We will be with you every step of this process

+ Cap Hill DuplexNestled in the vibrant Eastern Market, this duplex exuded timeless character and charm, yet its allure was overshadowed by years of neglect and wear from previous tenants. Restoring its former glory necessitated not only cosmetic touch-ups but also substantial maintenance. The extensive scope of work might have deterred many prospective buyers. However, we fearlessly embarked on the project, collaborating with water specialists, HVAC experts, and infestation specialists to breathe new life into this exquisite gem. Our meticulous efforts ensured that future buyers would not inherit any looming issues, safeguarding their investment and offering them a pristine home.
