Swift Melrose Refresh

This Boston area home had all the makings of a great sale but was missing something in the details to really fly off the market. Some standard preparations were made, and as a result, the homeowners saw a 620% return on their investment after project costs.

With an expansive backyard, four bedrooms, and an attached garage, this home was in a desirable spot but lacked some finishing touches. Some basic changes were all that was needed to make the home market-ready, so we focused on: 

  • Interior painting 
  • Lighting upgrades  
  • Miscellaneous fixes

It is amazing what such simple updates can do. In the end, the homeowners saw an added profit of $108,508 after project costs for an astounding return on investment of 620%. Not only did the seller walk away with quite a bit of extra dough in their pocket, but also the listing agent was happy with the results. Chris McNamara of eXp Realty exclaimed, “Larry [the Curbio Project Manager] is awesome to work with. Great communication, timely delivery of the work, and prompt to come back and do minor touch-ups to items upon request!”
