Not every Seller gets to decide when they’re going to put their house on the market. Life occasionally intervenes and makes the decision for them. Unexpected events can push their timing forward or backward without consulting them first. But there are Sellers who do enjoy the luxury of being able to choose exactly when they want their Realtor to put the sign up, the lockbox on and start all the sales buzz.

Looking back over the last three decades, the big mystery to me is why so many Sellers choose their listing dates so poorly.  And why so many others with the right intentions, end up missing the mark (and the market) due to their own conspicuous lack of proper prior planning.

This is your home and largest asset. The equity in it is crucial to your future. The process of selling it deserves your full attention and entire commitment.  Don’t wait to interview Agents until your house is ready to sell. Enlist them now.

Dealing with “stuff ” in your garage, attic, closets and drawers will be the hardest part of selling your home. Start the purge now will discourage buying even more “stuff” down the line. Sellers always want the best outcomes. The most money. The fastest escrows. The longest rent backs. But they aren’t always prepared to do the things that will give their Agents and their listings the best chances to succeed. If you want top dollar, you have to do everything right.

But where do you start? Brezsny Associates can help you make strategic decisions and help you through the complicated process. Staying organized with regard to all the time sensitive details, documents, vendors, inspections, handyman/contractors is a business skill that eludes many long time Realtors who have not adjusted to either the scope of modern real estate services or the tech skills to prove and manage them. We excel at these tasks. We are hands-on, all-in on project management and have trusted preferred vendors who understand the importance of making your home shine.

This is what we do and what we love to do. We have 60+ years of combined real estate experience and you can count on us.

Before & After –

Below are four projects we recently project managed. Some required more extensive repairs than others but no matter how big or small the project, Brezsny Associates looks forward to discussing with you how to transform your home.

1. 87 Hagemann Court

When we were asked to help our client prepare their house for market we knew the house was going to be a winner but it needed some life breathed back into it. Renters had lived in the home for 10+ years and a lot of deferred maintenance was apparent. Working with the homeowner we discussed the best strategy to help them get the highest possible price by getting a new roof, interior and exterior painting, cabinets and banisters painted, new modern light fixtures, new front door, deck repairs and a lot of yard clean up. There were many other miscellaneous items we got fixed as well to make sure the house presented in its best light.

If you or someone you know has a primary residence or rental property that needs a special touch to get it ready for market, reach out to us and we would love to help you get started. It may feel overwhelming but this is what Brezsny Associates specializes in.

Take a look at the before and after video of the project as well as the VR tours to see the transformation.

2. 206 Brookside Avenue

This charming house needed a tune up so potential buyers could see just what was so magical about the house. We added a fresh coat of paint on the walls, removed the old and outdated banister railing, changed out the bathroom vanity, refreshed the landscaping, put in new light fixtures and door knobs and that really changed the house’s feel and charm. Check out the before and after photos along with the Before and After VR tour to see the transformation!

3. 3167 W. Ledyard Way

This home had an amazing view but the house needed a lot of updating. The front deck, exterior and interior house paint, driveway, light fixtures, kitchen and windows needed to be updated. Check out the before and after photos below to see the life that was brought back to this home.

4. 533 Isbel Drive

What a beautifully laid out home, lot and location for a home! This home was in the family for many years and when our clients asked us to help them prepare it for market we were very excited to advise on the necessary items to fix up so they would receive the highest possible price. We had the acoustic ceiling removed, new carpet and floors installed, interior painting done, new light fixtures and had landscapers come and freshen up the front and backyards.
