Walking in you'll notice the custom door leading you into the main level where you have your remodeled kitchen, family room, pool table area and custom made bar (he's leaving it) and immediately will feel at home. This level leads you out to your balcony and decks with city and neighborhood view, it almost makes you think your in the mountains somewhere.

The master bedroom is super spacious with plenty of space for an exercise area or reading area and a large walk-in closet ready for you to do your own thing to it.

FLIP IT YOURSELF 

with my help and guidance

Have you wanted to sell your home but the thought of dealing with years of stuff and the preparation for sale is just too daunting? I will help you get more money in your pocket. 

I will help you to declutter, clean, paint, do any necessary repairs, have a landscaper come in and clean up yard, mulch, plant some flowers, etc. and stage home.  If there is valuable furniture and possessions, I aid with an estate sale and have companies to refer.  

A typical Jacki O flip requires approximately $10,000-$12,000 with about a $50,000 or more return.  I lend a no-interest loan to sellers who have equity in their home with a note tied to the property to help pay for the contractors and service people if needed. (restrictions do apply)

Myself, my husband and our assistant will physically commit to helping 2-3 days a week aiding in disposing and moving the clutter and junk.  We have a work truck and trailer available for clients free of charge. 

I act as forewoman, collecting quotes and meeting different contractors. All bids are approved by the sellers before work begins. 

I have group of low cost handy people, painters, flooring, tile and contractors to pull from.  Over the 17 years I have acquired a team of reliable, honest, dependable and reasonable service people.

I work with sellers advising what needs to be done to get the most bang for your buck.  I often stop people from doing unnecessary work that experience has shown me won’t return the money back sufficiently in the sale. 

I have a design background so I will help with color choices, flooring, and other choices.  With my combination of design and real estate background, all the choices are in your best interest to gain more equity for you in the sale. 

Typically with the seller and my hard work, we can have a house ready to put on the market in approximately 30-40 days, depending on the amount of work needed.

I have a storage unit full of updated furniture.  I will stage the living areas of your home before the professional photographer comes in for pictures. 

All this is included in my commission fee without any extra charges.  Staging alone is usually $1500-$2500.  My free services will save you thousands and get you many thousands back. With my 1200 sales and design background you know you will be in good hands guiding you through the rehab of your home.

I want YOU, the seller to gain more of your hard earned equity and not some investor preying on people in distress.  I look forward to working with you in rehabbing your home.
