Congratulations to Kayla on the sale of her cute-as-a-button bungalow in Sabin!

This sale was a complete success. The perfect storyline.

Kayla was a dream client from the start. When we first met, I gave my recommendations for prepping the house for sale, and we discussed her options. After reviewing comps in her very specific neighborhood (or lack thereof), Kayla quickly understood that the investment would be worth it.

The house was lovely to begin with, and Kayla had already done some nice upgrades during her four years there. We decided to replace the track lighting in the living room with modern, low-profile, and dimmable canned lights. Additionally, she had the basement painted a warm white to brighten it up, since half of the living square footage was downstairs. Kayla also had the gutters and roof cleaned and HVAC serviced to help prep for an easier inspection.

Once on the market, we had 27 private showings and about 75 people through the two open houses – people seemed to like it 😉 We ended up with 7 excellent offers, and ended up in contract with some lovely buyers. The rest of the transaction went swimmingly, and we closed $66,000, 10%+ over our original list price!

Perfect timing – Kayla and her fiancé just purchased a home in Southern Oregon and are expecting a new addition to their family this fall. I couldn’t be happier for her, and for the new buyers. Cheers to a sweet, simple, & successful sale!
