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.
Settlement
August 16 listed…September 1st Ratified! September 19th…SOLD!

The satisfaction of a job well done for my clients.

My work is done here on 14th Street.

Nothing but blue skies from now on…
