This condo sat on and off the market for TWO YEARS. Apparently, buyers weren’t interested in using their imagination. 👀
That’s where Classy AF Interiors came in.
When I helped my investor client purchase it, I could see what buyers were overlooking. The flooring, dated finishes and empty rooms were making the entire condo feel less inviting—and buyers were struggling to see its potential.
We put $20,000 toward strategic improvements, with every design decision focused on making the home feel cohesive, warm and move-in ready.
✨ New flooring and carpet to refresh the space.
✨ Fresh paint to create a consistent backdrop.
✨ Painted kitchen cabinets to update what was already there.
✨ New bathroom cabinetry and countertops for a more polished finish.
✨ Professional staging to show buyers how the rooms could look, feel and function.
Knowing what to keep was just as important as knowing what to change. Your renovation budget needs a plan before it needs a shopping cart. 😉
After five weeks of work, we paired the transformation with strategic pricing and a full marketing campaign. Listed at $369,000, it sold for $380,000—$11,000 over asking.
And you don’t have to be an investor for this strategy to matter. If you’re preparing your home to sell, the right improvements can change that first impression from “How much work does this need?” to “When can I move in?”
That’s what I love about combining real estate, interior design and home staging: helping sellers see the potential—and helping buyers fall in love with it.
