Pat Wilver:

We’re here today to talk about some of the design decisions that we made when laying out this home. And I think this will be a very useful video for you, whether you’re getting into home flipping, maybe you’re thinking about selling your home soon, and you wanna know how to get the most value out of it. Or even if you’re considering a renovation, maybe you never want to sell the home. There will be some useful tips and tricks that you can apply to really knock it out of the park.

Wynn Martin:

Nobody has an unlimited a budget. So where you put your resources is very important. Most of the time your kitchens and bathrooms are gonna be the best bang for your buck. Once the renovation project is complete, do you, or don’t you stage it? Pat and I are in hundreds of houses a month, some staged some unstaged. And when we do our comparables, when we run all the numbers at the end of the day, the staged houses that we’ve been in do sell for more. Even in this hot market.

Kelly Duncan:

Patrick gave me a call. He had a unique flip coming up. It had a very unique layout. You name it, it had it – from floral wallpaper to hideous wall color, to awful carpet, a very outdated kitchen.

Pat Wilver:

From the first time that I walked into this house, I could see the vision and I could see what this could be, even though it was a total atrocious dump back then. And now when we walk through, we’re immediately greeted by the, the black accent wall, that corner wall with the fireplace, and it catches the attention, kind of draws you to turn right, and the black accent wall, really make it so it’s not a dull space. And it’s interesting, you got this beautiful natural light with these huge windows.

Wynn Martin:

It’s a good focal point for the beauty of the room. Lets in the natural light. And as you can see the way it’s staged it just looks great.

Kelly Duncan:

When I walked into this space, I knew it had that modern feel. I knew we had to have white bright walls. So as the light changed throughout the day, the colors of the walls would not. We picked a very light flooring to brighten the space even more, wood tones throughout and black metals and shag rugs. The uniqueness of this living room space is it almost had an alcove, and I knew immediately it had to be an additional sitting space. So a buyer could come in and visualize that this is an extra large living room.

Pat Wilver:

This is a great space to entertain, to have friends and family over plenty of places to sit. We’ve got the beautiful kitchen that we come through. In the kitchen, we wanted to make it different with this shelves and vent hood that’s that’s in right now. And we’re able to do that because there’s so much countertop space, plenty room to put in microwave. The gray cabinets, again, it’s unique. We tie everything together with the, the color of the handles and the, you know, the faucet is something unique.

Wynn Martin:

It’s really cool! Black and gold, it’s got a whole bunch of little widgets and everything like that. For the cost that he mentioned, it’s well worth the cost. Having a really nice sink – farmhouse sink, kitchen looks great. And he did upgrade the stone. The stone. He could have gone with a level one kind of granite or something like that. He spent a little bit more money, a little bit extra and it looks like a million bucks.

Pat Wilver:

That faucet that we used is maybe $100 more than a more standard one we could have done. So we’re talking $300 worth of difference for, you know, I don’t have the exact number, how much more money did I get because of that? I’m not sure. I know it’s more than $300. The bar room is the really, the only space that I didn’t put a personal touch on because in this case, that’s something I wanna leave up to who buys this home. People could do so many different things with that, but it’s there. It’s ready to go. It’s gonna be a great space. The hall bath is spacious. It’s well-designed, but it’s a hall bath. There’s not a lot of thrills. The master bath and the master bed is really the statement here. A huge, huge, huge master bed. Nice big closet, much larger than most of the houses in this neighborhood so we stand out. In the bathroom with the, the massive double vanity what we did with the lights and the mirrors and, and the black I think is, is good. Not a lot of people are doing black right now. So I like to be, as we said, I like to be different. And I, I love the shower. It’s so big. You don’t even need a door on that thing. Really, really happy with how this turned out,
