Historic Secluded Scottsdale Estate - $1.49 million - April 24, 2008
Sold - Full price offer in less than one week after the staging
Hidden at the end of a private drive is this charming 1957 estate. Wander the two acre
grounds and you will discover a private tennis court, pool, citrus orchard and rose
garden. The 5,400+ sq. ft. home has two master suites and is well suited to the needs
of a resident in a wheelchair.
The heirs, who live out of state, were overwhelmed with the task of sorting through all
the antique furniture and collections of books and fine art. They needed to get the
home ready for the market so they called me to come out for a consultation ($150).
I met with the executor of the estate and we toured the home. I made notes of all the
visual issues, including recommendations for new paint colors and prepared a written
report that he was able to give to his handyman, gardeners and cleaning staff. I then
provided a quote to stage the property after all the painting and maintenance issues
were completed.
The owner was eager for me to bring in my staging team and transform the residence.
Over a two-day period we removed dated furniture, rearranged rooms, restyled book
shelves, de-cluttered and styled the rooms with accessories and art, using mostly items
found in the home.
Both the Realtor and the heirs were thrilled with the results and they received a full price
offer in less than a week.

"The house is under contract. We listed it at just under $1.5 million, and we had a full price contract in less than a week. Thanks for everything. Everyone loved your work!"
