Value Add Summary
High Level Scope of Work:
- Deep cosmetics throughout
- Minor layout change
- This location was an amazing, centrally located parcel, great for a walker’s lifestyle.
- Providing a turn-key, modern condo with ample living and outdoor space was poised to sell faster than the traditional 3-decker condos in high-supply.
Value Add Highlights:
- We became the first condo in the complex to add a retractable awning and to pour a large patio pad. All of the HOA owners wanted to mirror this once we sold.
- Dressed up the garage for better curb appeal at the open house.
- All of the units in this complex had tiny kitchens, we blew open two walls and doubled the kitchen size, which certainly helped get $50k+ over the next highest selling unit in this complex.
