Part 2: Prepping For Sale
A: Here are more pics from the apartment I got that needed some work done before hitting the opne market for sale. I left out the kitchen and bathroom last time because the pics didnt come out good. Also, I added the choices of stains that the floor could have been refinished in. The apartment will be ready for showings on Tuesday.
In a cooling housing market, sellers MUST be very cautious over what renovations they decide to put their hard earned money into and how long this work will take!
In this case, we are talking about a low end apartment type (alcove studio) in a good location in Midtown West. Although the apartment is not a view apartment and gets minimal natural sunlight, it does have exposures in the back of the building giving the new buyer peace and quiet in an otherwise very busy neighborhood. As the hired broker to market this property, I must find the goods in every situation to get my client the highest price possible from the open market.
Back to some pics. Here is a pic of the Kitchen:
And the bathroom:
Besides doing great work, I like to use Marc at FloorWorks New York services because they don't just show you a chart of stains to choose from leaving you hoping that the right decision was made. Rather, they take 20 minutes or so to sand down a section of your floor and plot out 4 of your choices of possible stains so that you can see in living color which looks best before you decide. In this case, here is how the test stains showed on this alcove studio's floor:
Obviously the floors had to be done, the question was in what stain! The apartment should be ready for showings on Tuesday so I'll put the finished product up so that you can see what else we decided to do, or not do!
