Mark Cipolletti Knows How to Market His Business
Sophisticated San Diego Refresh
This San Diego apartment has a stunning view and downtown location to die for. The high-rise also includes various amenities, but the interior didn’t match the luxurious living of the rest of the complex. After a whole-home refresh, the apartment made an incredible transformation.
This two-bedroom and two-bath apartment sits in between the heart of downtown and the San Diego Bay. While the location could not have gotten much better, the lackluster interior was dragging down the price. To help get offers on the table and bump up the resale value, we focused on minor updates that made a big difference including:
- A kitchen refresh
- Bathroom refreshes
- Flooring updates
- Interior painting
With these various updates and the work of our partner HomeSmart, the apartment sold for more than the original as-is price.
Whether you are a homeowner looking to sell your home for more or an agent wanting to make your clients happier, we want to help. Our pay-at-closing home improvement concierge services make pre-sale updates a reality and helps sellers walk away with more money at the closing table. Even better, our homes typically spend fewer days on the market. Contact us to learn more or get started with our home improvement app.

- Putting in a quartz countertop
- Adding ceramic tile backsplash
- Removing old appliances and installing new stainless-steel ones
- Installing a stainless-steel sink and new faucet
- Adding LED lights under the cabinets
- Removing the shutter doors and repairing the ceiling, wall, and trim
- Upgrading the ceramic floor
- Installing a garbage disposal

Being the focus of the apartment, the living room lacked the upscale ambiance that would draw buyers in. We focused on a few finishing touches to capture buyers’ attention including:
- Adding a fresh coat of paint to the walls, trim, and ceiling
- Removing and disposing of the vertical lines
- Reinstalling surface mount light fixtures
- Replacing the doorknobs and hinges on the surrounding rooms’ doors
