When it came time to list this 4 bed, 4.5 bath, 4,000 sq. ft. Glencoe, IL home, @properties agent Karen Mason knew there would be money left on the table without some pre-list updates. Built in 2007, the home was in great shape but lacked the appeal today's buyers demand. Without renovations, the home would have been listed for $1.5M. But after partnering with Renovation Sells for a $55k facelift, the home was listed at $1.6M and sold for $1.8M, yielding a $150k net profit and 560% ROI for the sellers.
Project Scope
Kitchen: Paint walls and cabinetry, update countertops, backsplash, faucets, and hardware
Primary Bedroom: Paint walls and trim, update lighting
Primary Bathroom: Paint walls, update lighting, tub filler, and hardware
Powder Room: Paint walls, trim, and vanity, update countertops, vanity lighting, and hardware
Additional Updates: Paint walls throughout the home, replace the entryway stair runner

What the Agent Said
“We received multiple offers and sold way over asking because it was move-in ready and the kitchen looked new. This was all because of Renovation Sells.”
