Modern Chicago Refresh

A quick makeover in some select areas was all that was needed to make this Chicago home one buyers would love. After these few adjustments, the home sold for an extra $90,000.

Modern Chicago Refresh

This corner apartment had an open floor plan and a private roof deck that would draw buyers in, but a few outdated features could have them running for the hills. To capture buyers’ attention and keep it, we focused on updating the kitchen as well as some other miscellaneous work throughout the home.  

These updates boosted the sales prices by $90,000 and made the homeowner an extra $53,550 in profit. While a great profit, it isn’t just about the numbers. Listing agent Ross Wall of @properties described his experience saying,“Curbio was very receptive to my client’s needs. They were efficient with their scheduling and installation and were able to meet our limited timeline for listing.”

Not only do we help homeowners sell for more but also Curbio homes are completed 50% faster than traditional general contractor work. Try us out today by getting a free home improvement estimate
