My client was transferred away from Seattle soon after buying a house here. She rented it out for eight years while waiting for the market to rebound. When it came time to sell, the house needed some repairs to wash away the wear and tear caused by nearly a decade of rotating tenants. She didn’t have the time to fly back and supervise the repairs, so I opened my black book and called my team of trusted vendors into action. Under my supervision, they painted, carpeted, landscaped and repaired – more than $20,000 worth of work, completed on time for only $6,000. The return on investment was dramatic. The house sold for $17,000 more than the list price. To bring this story full circle, the winning bid came from a family moving to Seattle; they were represented by a childhood friend of mine.
