The Power of Compass Concierge & M StudioHouse | How We Earned Our Clients Top Dollar

Marina Accardo September 20, 2023

Welcome to 5152 Deelane Street, located in Torrance, California. This property underwent a remarkable transformation using our exclusive Compass Concierge program along with our in-house design specialist with M StudioHouse, resulting in a quick sale with a significant profit margin. In this case study, we'll look into the journey of this property, the strategic home improvements made, and the amazing outcome we achieved for our clients.

Cluttered living and dining room with a round wooden table, sofas, and framed pictures stacked along one wall.

Originally, this property needed a lot of help. With 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a welcoming living space with high ceilings, we saw the potential in the home and made necessary home improvements to attract the perfect buyers. The transformation of this property was nothing short of spectacular, thanks to a series of well-planned home improvements to tackle the old carpets, faded paint, dated lighting fixtures and window treatments, and cluttered with personal items.

1. Fresh Paint:

The first step was to revitalize the property's appearance with a fresh coat of paint on the exterior and interior, which instantly gave the home a modern and inviting look.

Staged living room with a vaulted ceiling, white seating, glass coffee table, and open dark front door.

2. Refinished Flooring:

The original hardwood floors, a unique feature of the property, were refinished to look and feel brand new. We also ripped out the carpet in some of the rooms and uncovered the hardwood floors.

3. Minor Kitchen Upgrade:

Next, we tackled the kitchen. Refinished the floors, painted and added new beautiful hardware on the cabinets, and installed a beautiful, new lighting fixture in the dining room to bring together the dining and kitchen areas.

Kitchen with taupe cabinets, a window over the sink, and a refrigerator covered in photos and magnets.

Renovated kitchen with white cabinets, pink stone counters, brass hardware, and wood-look flooring.

4. Deep Cleaning:

5. Refinished Landscaping:
