Straightforward Cincinnati Basic Prep

This Cincinnati home was antiquated and worn out after not having any updates for many years. When it came time to sell, some simple but much-needed preparations made all the difference.

A two-bedroom and one-bath home, this Cincinnati property belonged to an elderly woman who had lived there for many years and hadn’t made many updates. When she was ready to sell, she feared the outdated state of the house could turn many buyers away. To refresh the home and get the homeowner more money back, we focused on simple home improvements such as:

Painting
Flooring updates
Cleaning and decluttering

This basic listing prep alone had the home getting multiple offers in just a few days. This quick sale left both the seller and agent thrilled. The listing agent on the property, Lynda Anello of eXp Realty, explains, “It was a good listing for professional photography— something I was proud to list because the photos were great. It was clean, uncluttered, and had nice shiny hardwood floors.”

If your listings are not up to par with the current trends, we may be able to help. Our pay-at-closing concierge service makes home improvements more accessible to sellers so they can sell faster and for more. Contact us today to learn about partnering with us.

To help get the older home off the market, we did a little work to boost its curb appeal including pressure washing the sidings, masonry exterior, walkway, and steps.
