Case Study: Casa de la Playa

When the owners of this 2006 Siesta Key beach estate called us for the opportunity to list their home, we did an initial market analysis that suggested a range of value from $4,375,000 to $5,250,000. The price took into account the appearance of the home which was somewhat dated.

After a comprehensive, in-person evaluation of the property, we determined that with the proper updates, the home could sell at a higher price — possibly $6,000,000. We provided the seller with a list of recommendations that included landscaping, repairs, painting inside and out, deep cleaning and staging.

The seller followed all recommendations at a cost of approximately $125,000. When the work was complete, the updated home looked much better than anticipated. A final market analysis in its new condition suggested a list price of $6,500,000. The home went on the market at that price, and sold in 33 days for $6,275,000.

The seller’s $125,000 investment resulted in a sale price of $6,275,000 — a gain of $1,900,000 over the initially-suggested list price.

Before & After

By redoing finishes, landscape, lighting and other decorating items, it is possible to create a whole new appearance to a slightly outdated  home. Small details make a big difference, and we take the guesswork out of how to maximize your dollars for the greatest impact. Here are “Before & After” photos that show how these sellers’ $125,000 investment netted them $1,900,000.

This grand beach estate needed a fresh makeover to attract a refined buyer.

When you list with us, we provide recommendations and an action plan specific to your home to create a favorable first impression – and we help execute the to-do list.

Life at the beach is all about the outdoor setting and access to the ocean.

Swaying palm trees, Adirondack chairs, ready-to-go fire pit, fine quartz sand and privacy fence — a picture is worth a thousand words.

Forever ocean views is the main attraction of this elegant beach house. Opening up the views is imperative.

We work with vetted vendors to transform homes into what buyers want. Substantial mangrove trimming revealed the stunning ocean view. Light wall/trim paint and staging furniture add a crisp, new look.

Light. Light. Light. This home has glass-filled walls that make every room a delight.

We choose the right time of day for photography to allow natural light to fill the space. We also direct the photographer to get the right angle for accentuating the expansiveness of a space.

If your home has lived through a few interior design trends, we know how to modernize your home without losing its character.

Painting the walls and trim is a great way to make rooms feel more modern and expansive.

According to the National Association of Realtors®, 98% of people use the internet during their home search. That means your home really needs to stand out inside and out.

An overgrown landscape diminishes the view. Accentuate the positive by opening up the million-dollar views.

Furniture affects the view, visual flow and connection to surrounding spaces. Dark trim and blocky furniture are visual dead ends.

We team up with professional stagers to merchandise your home so that it appeals to today’s buyers. This owner’s suite got a furniture facelift — and a fresh, new look at the view.

Scale, light and movement. When well orchestrated, these spacial concepts create a relaxed retreat.

You can take a nap on these oversize loveseats, positioned to create a natural connection to the outdoors.

When you have a large home, decorating every space can be a challenge. Some rooms are delegated to the practical instead of the pretty, which is less than ideal when you’re trying to capture a buyer’s imagination.

Fortunately, we have a clear sense of what buyers want and know how to magically transform the look and feel of your space.

Set on over 3/4 acre, the back yard features a tidal pond, tiki hut, private beach and 109-ft. direct Gulf front. The overgrown landscape hides the resort-like setting.

Under our diligent direction, an experienced, certified arborist creates a visual masterpiece.
