A Local's View of Lighthouse Bay

We have represented both buyers and sellers in Lighthouse Bay and have sold many homes here, including attached villas and condominiums. My last couple of sales there came from a group of owners who had several properties in the community. I was not the first listing agent.

The first order of business was to get everything out. The furniture had a dated look that was really hurting the ability to sell. I made sure some of the fixtures and draperies were removed too. The condo had already been remodeled, so it didn't need as much work. For the attached villa, we called in our pros and trades to get it ready.

The villa sold in short order at full price. The buyers didn't even negotiate. It went from several months of not selling to a full-price offer. I sold them both. It's all about the presentation and having the best listing agent.
