The problem

The home had been run as a vacation rental. Stickers on the light switches, neon signs, games and a backyard full of rental gear. Buyers in this market are buying a home to live in, and this one read like a short-term rental.

The plan

  1. Removed the vacation-rental styling. Signs, stickers, games and the clutter inside and out.
  2. Refreshed the basics. New pillows and fresh sheets so every room looked lived in, not rented out.
  3. Repainted the exterior in a contemporary 2026 color scheme.
  4. Repainted the entire interior. It made the home feel brand new.
  5. Handled the repairs up front, so the pickiest buyer had no reason not to make an offer.

The result

A full-price offer in 3 days on market. Closed at $1,150,000, 100% of the list price.
