This was a rental property that was brought up to date once the tenant vacated the property. Like so many, the owners were thinking about the "Pros" and "Cons" of making the investment in improving their rental property, which is why they reached out to Nine Doiron for her expert analysis of selling the home in "as condition" or making the improvements because the "upside potential" was far greater than the restoration cost, increasing the owners return on equity.

After remodeling the home, the owners fully staged the property so that buyers would have that emotional connection to the home, not to mention that the property sat in a great neighborhood.

This decision allowed for the home to sell in 7 days for just above the full asking price. To really state the importance of staging your home, the neighbor, who had a bigger property, bigger home and was listed on the market for far less, had been on the market for over one month before 17 Southdale went on the market, and eventually sold after our property had closed sale selling for under its asking price.

The emotional influence that a fully staged home makes a world of difference and when it's your money on the line, you must do everything to get the best return on your money, which is what Nina is a master at doing.
