Cozy Eagan Basic Prep

Every home can use a little preparation before hitting the market, and this apartment near Minneapolis was no exception. Overall, the home was in decent condition, but putting it on the market as it was would have meant leaving money at the closing table. Instead, we went to work on projects like flooring updates and interior painting as well as a few miscellaneous finishing touches.   

After our Curbio Minneapolis team was through, the partner agent at Minneapolis RE/MAX Results was able to get the home sold for $60,000 more than the original as-is price. Because project costs were relatively low, the homeowner saw a 463% return on investment.   

Just a little preparation can go a long way. To see for yourself, get started with a free estimate

  • Adding vinyl plank flooring  
  • Installing a new stainless-steel sink, faucet, and garbage disposal 
  • Replacing the shoe molding with painted/stained molding

The main entryway to the home, the hallway needed a few touch-ups to help it make the right impression. We painted the walls, ceiling, and trim as well as replaced the carpet to help capture buyers’ attention as soon as they walked in.
