Each home seller has unique needs. Some just want to sell quickly and be done with the process. A Realtor’s primary job is to determine which course of action is best for her client. Some clients love the process of preparing their home for sale. They have fun along the way. Others… not so much. Often we prepare two valuations for our clients, selling AS IS versus AS REPAIRED. Once our clients are armed with the facts, they can make an informed decision as to the best course of action for their situation.
Our Alhambra listing closed escrow on Monday. We had over twenty offers and closed escrow $71,000 over asking price to a cash buyer. This was a fun project because the two trustees gave us the opportunity to spend about $10,000 on refinishing floors, fresh interior paint, new fixtures, knobs and hardware. We were able to get this home in tip top shape for first time buyers. And it certainly paid off when offers were due.
We listed a Brigden Ranch Spanish in Pasadena located at 2054 Galbreth Rd. This updated pool home will be open Saturday and Sunday.
We are working on a couple more listings:
La Crescenta:
Main Residence: 4+3, mirrored in the art deco streamline moderne style made famous by William Kesling. There are two master suites. One opens to the Trex deck with views, removable shade and the perfect spot for a morning workout or to enjoy 4th of July fireworks. The larger master suite includes a gas fireplace, walk in closet with ironing board and opens to the pool and spa. The sun filled living room boasts soffit lighting, trey ceiling, and built in surround sound speakers. Finally, the updated granite kitchen features built in breakfast nook with storage, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and ice maker.
La Canada:
1920’s Tudor reimagined for the 21st century. Three bedrooms, 3 baths, PLUS two bonus rooms, could be used as five bedrooms, home office or gym. Sparkling pool. We are sprucing up this La Canada home and getting it staged.
In addition, we are sorting through offers on our Cudahy units and just plowing through the second quarter of 2018. I am done with the St. Bede fundraiser in honor of St. Joseph and we are getting ready to gear up for the Ronald Mc Donald annual fundraiser at the Langham.
