28 Avondale Ave #810
Step 1: Repairs & Cleaning
In order to make a great impression with potential buyers and to get top dollar, it’s imperative that our listings look their best. That means before we can think about staging we need to assess any damages, bring in our handyman to do the repairs, paint and then have our cleaner come and do a deep clean. Here’s what we did at our recent condo listing, 28 Avondale #810:
Damaged drywall was sanded and repainted.
The baseboards and trim were chewed up by pets, so we had to replace the majority of them.
Our painter matched the colour of the kitchen cabinetry and touched up this scratch.
The dishwasher panel wasn’t screwed in right, so we had it properly fastened and gave the dishwasher a deep clean.
Helen our cleaner always does a top-notch job with our listings (and even my own house).
The cooktop was showing wear but Helen was able to get it looking good as new.
Don’t overlook the little places, like grout in a bathroom. This grout was cleaned and recaulked.
Outdoor spaces like balconies are important to buyers and these windows needed a good scrub.
Step 2: Staging & Professional Photography
It’s important to stage our clients’ homes prior to taking professional listing photos. My partner designer Joel Bray stages most of my listings and it makes all the difference! With this particular condo we rotated the kitchen island for better flow and brought in new furniture, lighting, art and accessories. We also laid artificial turf on the balcony.
Step 3: Listing on MLS & Social Media Marketing
My team designs custom social media graphics for all of our listings and shares them on Facebook and Instagram once the listings go live. It’s a great way to get the word out and often times our followers will either be looking to buy or they will know someone who is.
I’m happy to report that 28 Avondale #810 was sold with a pre-emptive offer shortly after listing. Thanks for following along! - Andrew Dunn
