Lauren in Santa Rosa

The ocean has been calling, so impromptu date to get fish tacos and watch the sunset on an 80* (Mon)day in Santa Rosa.

My clients inherited this sweet home from Grandma a few years ago and held onto it as a rental. When it was finally time to sell… let’s just say it had seen better days.

They were open to investing in prep — but didn’t want to overdo it. So we found the sweet spot between “do nothing” and “full HGTV overhaul.”

✨ Fresh landscaping
✨ Interior & exterior paint
✨ Deep cleaning
✨ Updated lighting
✨ Professional staging
✨ Pre-sale inspections

Total investment: about $18,000.

We listed at $750,000 (in line with comps).
Four offers later… it closed yesterday for $815,000.

That’s a 300%+ return on their prep investment.

Strategic improvements > overspending. Every time.

Thinking about selling but not sure what’s worth doing? Let’s talk.
