I just love midtown Sacramento. It offers so much style, history and artful properties. I got a call a few weeks ago from one of my favorite REAs. He said," Lori, I am going to redo this condo for my client and I need your help". Holy Guacamole... what a project. We turned a totally mauve (sorry Terrylynn, know you love mauve), condo into a beautiful showcased home. I gave him a vacant report which included upgrades, paint and flooring. WOW... talk about a realtor who really wanted to sell this condo. The seller gave him a budget and we were able to work within her means.
You know folks... sometimes it does make a difference when you give of yourself. I offered my assistance to my Realtor because he needed it for a buyer's eye on painting lighting and upgrades.
WE SOLD THE HOME IN 4 DAYS... yep, 4 days. Not only did it sell, but it got us 3 new listings. Think about your realtors... what can you do for them to help get a move on this market? Now is the time to think creatively. Mauve is out... but make it mauvelous!
