Making your property attractive to buyers pays off in many ways:
- Quicker sale
- Possibility of multiple offers
- Good sale price
- High return on investment
Here is a typical success story. The out-of-state heirs to a townhouse in Corte Madera hired us to prepare their parent’s home and sell it. Though the townhouse was in a choice location, it was 20 years out of date and worn.

A Successful Conclusion
We listed the house for $539,000, and the seller received two offers the second day it was on the market. It sold for $555,000. Comparing the value before and after renovations, the sellers received about a five-fold return on their investment in improvements.
