9 Small (But Mighty) Home Updates Agents Recommend Before Listing
Refined San Diego Remodel
We brought this San Diego home from the 70s into the modern-day.
This charming San Diego home hadn’t been updated since the 70s and was in dire need of a modern refresh. Meghan Santos, real estate agent with Willis Allen, partnered with Curbio to tackle strategic pre-listing updates in order to get the home market-ready and allow her clients to sell for top dollar.
We touched almost every area of this home, both inside and out, to make the best possible impression on todays picky buyers and unlock the true value of this charming home.
Inside the home we replaced almost all of the drywall on the ceiling, removing the outdated popcorn texture. We updated flooring and painted throughout. Outside we focused heavily on landscaping to maximize curb appeal.
