Staging to Win!!!
One of my main clients for the past 8 years is a private equity firm. His focus is on buying distressed notes. I met him in 2016 and at that time he was working with roughly 3 agents locally. I quickly became his one and only guy on 99% of his New York properties and this one property became our grand slam (1 of several). After spending many years helping to design, stage and renovate these homes we were able to deliver this beautiful home to the market causing us to get over 450 people in our open house within 2 hours. If you want someone with years of experience on what to do with your home, contact me.
Colleagues are not always the best choice
Brianna and Bobby were working with a young colleague out of respect for their relationship. After speaking to me about possibly representing them as an attorney, we discovered some obstacles that had to be overcome that was not fully discussed with their other representative. They quickly engaged my services and after restructuring their financial position, they were able to compete better and finally get a home. They had been searching for months with no answers or feedback by their previous agent only to find out when we met and discussed their situation that they would never be able to win a bid on an house with their current situation. So I fixed it and they are now happy homeowners.
Spend a little to get a lot
Here is a story about how spending a little gets you a lot. This client has been a long time client of mine and on one of their investment properties a tenant wanted to buy the home. Since I am also an attorney they asked me to represent them while the tenant goes about the process to buy the property. Despite my advice they wanted to "do the right thing" and let the tenant have the property in its current condition. The tenant, despite being a long term paying tenant and in good relation with the landlord/seller, decided to keep renegotiating the price well below market value claiming issues with the property. After finally realizing my advice was the sound advice we had the tenant agree to leave and renovate the unit. My client spent less than $30,000 in a new bath, new kitchen, paint, appliances and floors and was able to earn nearly $200,000 more with a multiple offer situation and sold within 10 days of listing the home.
