What an awesom life we have!
HOUSE 1:
This is a home we purchased just after arriving in Medford Oregon. We lived in this home for 7 years. It originally had 2 beds and 1 bathroom on the upper level, and 1 Master suite on the lower level along with the kitchen, living area, walk-in safe, art studio/study and the 2 car garage which had a storage/tool room next to it. When renovation where complete the house offer: 2 Master Bedroom, 1 Upper Level 1 Lower Level, 2 Beds upper level, a walk-in safe, living area, gourmet kitchen, storage room, utility room, photography studio, 2 car garage and storage/tool room attached.
The home what built of solid concrete with one of the most divine views I have ever seen in my life time and not that many windows to enjoy the view. We worked really hard on this home to make it is wha
It certainly ended up absolutely stunning!!
Below you will see 5 homes that we purchased in various stages of disrepair or disfunction and renovated to sell. At this stage in my life was a Real Estate Agent licensed in Oregon. I worked mostly in the Southern Oregon areas and loved every minute of it, but realized that it is a tough business with much competition and all the current top gun agents around me earned by respect.
Real Estate agents in America work really really hard to gain the trust of their customers. Hats off to all of you!
HOUSE 2:
This is a home was truly our biggest challenge repair wise as it was severely neglected and in a horrible state. I was the eyesore of the neighborhood and over the years had become a know drug house. Once our crew moved on site we had many offers of congratulations from neighbors who where really happy that the home was to be fixed up. It is true to say that once this home was fixed and sold it truly upgraded the whole street.
We had a lot of fun and learnt a lot from this house. The house sold the 3 hours after we listed and we received a full price cash offer.
That made all the hard work worth it.
HOUSE 2:
This is a home proved to be almost as much of a challenge that the house above proved to be except it was a little smaller and had different issues that had to be resolved.
Again we had a lot fun and a lot of hard work was invested into the home which also got us an offer on the first day of listing.
It is truly rewarding when people appreciate the work and design that goes into these flips.
The 4th and by far the biggest house we purchased to flip and the most beautiful. We where told by the agent that we bought the property from that this home use be the Crowning Jewel or flagship of the area in it's day but had gone into disrepair during the property crash of 2005 to 2008. Our first walk around the home told just that this used to be a well loved and cared for home. These are sad stories and they do happen unfortunately.
You will notice the this is the only home we did not stage as we sold it during the renovation which was awesome as we could not incorporate features that the future owners really wanted and that was a lot of fun. The owners where truly awesome people and we are so happy that such a wonderful family gets to enjoy their newly renovated home. It has been said the we returned that home to being the CROWN JEWEL of the area again.
Very rewarding!!
The 5th and last home we flipped in Oregon was not so much in a state of disrepair but was cluttered and filled wall to wall with items. The home itself was in pretty good condition. We did a complete redo of the master bathroom, and cleaned and the existing wooden floors in the living area. The rest was paint, scrubbing and cleaning and really just making pretty. This one took a little while to sell as it's location and very small yard where challenges that some family could just not get past. In the end we found the perfect owner and all is well!
At the point that is house was on the market we where traveling hundreds of miles looking for an RV Park to purchase which was a lot fun (the traveling park) but very frustrating as we just could not find the right one in the right area and the right price range....!!
