When native Floridian Steven Garner and his family decided in 2021 to sell their Tampa Bay home after living there for eight years, their first realtor listed it for $275,000. They were dismayed by the low-ball offers. What to do? “Originally, we chose a family friend as our realtor. His advice was that ‘you don’t need to fix anything; the buyers are going to change it all once they buy it anyway.’ We were on the market with him for three months. After a nightmare of going under contract and falling out of contract twice, we pulled our house off the market. A friend told us that they sold their house for a record price after hiring YörDör to handle everything, based on a recommendation from their agent, Leisa Erickson of Engel & Volkers St. Pete, St. Pete Beach.”
That was exactly the peace of mind Steve was looking for. YörDör oversaw the mostly cosmetic improvements, such as flooring and paint throughout, refinishing the cabinets, hardware changes, and countertops, pressure washing the house including the roof, driveway and pool cage, and freshening the curb appeal. After the renovations, the house was on the market for only TWO DAYS with Leisa Erickson as the agent and sold for $385,000.
“Hiring YörDör to coordinate those small renovations resulted in a BIG windfall for us and it was worry-free. Our home sold for $111,000 more than the original price with the first agent,” says Steve.
“YörDör was easy to work with and the consummate professionals with an impeccable roster of contractors and services to call upon,” says Steve. “I’m sharing the secret sauce of working with YörDör to brainstorm on small improvements with big results.”
