Project description
The starting point
A 1926 colonial full of belongings and junk. The owner needed to move on and had no cash to pay for work up front.
What we recommended
Clear the house, repair the exterior, and tie payment to the sale instead of the work.
The work
Punchlist coordinated the clear-out, had the chimney repaired to code and repainted, and had the front door awning painted along with light masonry and trim work.
How it was paid
Part of the payment was due when the house sold, not when the work was finished. We work with clients on their timing and budget.
The outcome
The house drew multiple offers within days of listing and went to highest and best, selling for $650,000 against a $575,000 list price, on the terms the seller wanted.
