INTRODUCTION
We take pride in turning houses into dream homes and maximizing returns for our clients. Our recent project at 1002 Foothill Drive exemplifies our dedication to excellence. When our seller client entrusted us with selling their dated 1981 home, we saw its potential and transformed it into a modern sanctuary.
CHALLENGES
The house, built in 1981, was dark, dated, and uninviting. Our mission was to unlock its potential and maximize the seller's return on investment.
Key challenges included:
-
Outdated Interior: The house featured elements typical of the early 1980s, making it less appealing to modern buyers.
-
Lack of Natural Light: The interior was dark and uninviting, requiring a complete overhaul to create a brighter atmosphere.
-
Comprehensive Renovation: From design and planning to execution, we needed to manage the entire renovation process seamlessly, ensuring that it stayed under budget and on schedule.
OUR APPROACH AND STRATEGIES
We implemented a strategic approach encompassing thorough planning, meticulous design, and effective project management:
Design and Planning:
-
Conducted a comprehensive assessment of the property to identify areas needing improvement.
-
Developed multiple renovation plans and collaborated with the seller to finalize a complete makeover strategy.
-
Chose a black-and-white modern French theme to harmonize with the home's many black windows and create a cohesive color palette.
Material Selection and Coordination:
-
Sourced high-quality materials with deep discounts through our extensive vendor partners, including flooring, tiles, paint, cabinetry, vanities, lighting, and top-of-the-line appliances.
-
For the master bathroom, due to the unusual size of the vanity, we worked with our vendor to custom-make one that fit perfectly.
-
Collaborated with our contractor partner to ensure timely delivery and installation of materials.
Project Management:
-
Managed every aspect of the renovation project. Coordinated with contractors and attended every city inspection, overcoming challenges posed by strict inspectors.
-
Regularly updated the seller, ensuring they remained informed and stress-free.
Staging and Marketing:

Staged the home to highlight its new features and appeal to potential buyers.
-
Launched a comprehensive marketing campaign, including professional photography and video, 3D tour, dedicated website, online listings, high-quality brochure, social media, and email campaign.
