Agent Alice in the City!

This is the story of a listing that turned into a sale…what I do best.

Before:

When I saw the condo in early August, I knew it needed just a little style, aka some
“Alice Staging”. Sometimes its hard for sellers to style their home for sale when they live in it day in and day out. I knew I could help. The sellers had some cool “stuff”. I used their stuff and added some “wow”. Below are two pairs of before and after photos.

The Loft: Before and After

This was the loft before staging. Hmm, OK but I knew it could be great.

The Bedroom: Before and After

This was the bedroom before staging. A bit cluttered, real life, needs a little style.

Listed

This is how the condo looked on August 16th, the day it was officially listed. Now it had some “city style”.

Under contract

September 1st — Property goes under contract-RATIFIED! This was a unique DC property, complicated because two units were commercial units, two units were residential. I worked with the buyer’s agent to find a lender that could work with his buyer. That’s what agents do best, work together for the same goal. Some buildings require a little more work.

Under contract is when the real work begins.
