A One-Day Sale and a Record-Breaking Result
Sometimes it only takes one day to change everything. When my client called me to prepare 25 Egret View for sale, we had one goal: make it shine. With a $35,000 home prep budget, I got to work transforming the space into something fresh, modern, and move-in ready.
We chose soft, inviting paint colors, swapped in updated lighting and carpets, and brought in gorgeous staging by @the.still.collective to highlight the home’s warmth and potential. The transformation was simple but powerful—every decision designed to connect with today’s buyers.
The payoff? 25 Egret View sold in just one day—far outpacing the neighborhood’s average of 33 days on market—and closed 10 days later at $1.5M, a full $100,000 over the estimated value. Not only was it the highest sale in the neighborhood to date, it also delivered a 3x return on prep investment for my client.
Proof that with the right updates and a sharp strategy, your home can be the one that sets the new standard.
before and after
“Allie has been my trusted guide through both buying and selling—a true professional and a cherished friend. She helped me purchase a home in 2020 and then sell another in 2024, navigating two very different markets with ease, clarity, and incredible strategy. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and calm presence made every step feel seamless. She beautifully prepared and staged my San Rafael home, and before the broker’s open house even began, we received a full-price, all-cash, no-contingency offer with a 10-day close. We countered and got even more—setting the highest price per square foot ever recorded in the neighborhood. Allie is equally gifted in business and human connection—sharp, grounded, kind, and fiercely committed. I can’t recommend her enough.”
