The owner of this property visited an open house at a listing of ours in the neighborhood last year. She remembered us and our work and asked us to come take a look at the property. She interviewed 3 local agents and chose to move forward with us. We valued the property at $1,200,000 for an as is sale. They agreed to let us project manage and put $40,000 into the property to obtain a higher sales price. We had the interior painted, converted a music studio back to a bedroom, the roof replaced, lighting and bathroom fixtures replaced, and various repairs and retouches done throughout the home to make it shine. All choices for colors, fixtures, and finishes were made by us. We also expertly staged the home to reflect Northeast LA style and blend harmoniously with the Spanish aesthetic of the home. After a month and a half of work and a two week escrow, we closed for $1,561,448. The owners’ testimonial is below:

“We have relocated more times than we can count, and without a doubt, the Katie Crain + John Podhor Team is the most professional we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Their preparation of our home for sale -- including updating, staging, open houses, showings, contracts, disclosures and endless details -- resulted in the receipt of multiple offers in less than two weeks on the market.

Every aspect of the sale, from the initial contract to the final closing, was handled flawlessly. The selling price, well over asking, was negotiated to both ours and the Buyer's satisfaction. Ten stars are not enough! We give Katie and John our highest recommendation.”
