Home Run

/in

From start to finish, Evan really hit a home run with this one. Evan, one of our most esteemed sluggers when it comes to fixing up homes, saw this house and was immediately determined to get it out of the bush leagues and into the Big Leagues.

 

The people selling the house had really let it fall to pieces, and the purchase price was set at $169,000, which was below market at the time. There was some interest, but because of how much work needed to be put into the home, Evan came out on top with the bases loaded.

Rounding First

Evan had to start at the bottom with the foundation. There were cracks in the concrete throughout the home, which hadn’t reached the walls yet, but would have if left much longer. He dug tunnels under the home to access the support beams, then placed foundation repair pilings under each major beam. He lifted the home to the correct level, installed support cylinders under the beams, and shimmed them to the proper height.

Rounding Second

Next, he moved on to the floors and walls. The entire house needed new floors, including carpet, hard wood, and laminate. For both the floors and the walls, he kept his color theme neutral and went with grays and browns throughout the home, so as to make the home able to flow with any interior design that the eventual new homeowners would want.

Rounding Third

As he was nearing home base at this point, he had some last-minute touchups that were in desperate need. The kitchen needed new cabinets and countertops, and the bathrooms needed new countertops and sinks. He also spruced up the landscaping around the home to really make the house look sharp from the outside in.

Bring it Home

Evan really was the “cleanup batter” for this house. The bases were loaded – the house needed a lot of work. And with a full count staring him down.. BOOM! A dinger! A bomb! A Moonshot! He slammed it out of the park and brought it home strong. He ended up selling the property for $299,900 to a very eager couple excited to grow their family in that house. Nothing better than a Grand Slam to help bring this house into the Bigs.

Fixer Upper in Southern Colorado

/in

Let us walk you through this fixer upper in Southern Colorado. There are certain areas that just need fix and flippers. The homes are 40+ years old, run down, and they are ready for some TLC. When Eric found this property in Pueblo, CO, he saw the potential and put in an offer right away. It’s not a large home, only 1,240 sq. ft., but it makes up for it in charm. Eric purchased this property for $130,000 and estimated a $30,000 budget. The home didn’t need a complete renovation, but the hardwood floors needed refinishing, the carpet and paint needed to be replaced, the kitchen needed a good gutting and a facelift, the bathrooms were in dire need of some serious updates, and on top of all that, the roof needed repair.

 

The last time this home was updated was very likely in the 70’s. The kitchen had a brown linoleum floor, pale yellow cabinets, and green walls. Talk about a fixer upper! Eric decided to go with a clean, white look. With a white subway tile backsplash, crisp white wood cabinets, and a snow-white quartz countertop with eased edging. Best of all, the kitchen was modernized with energy efficient stainless-steel appliances.

Both bathrooms were stripped of their pink, grungy tile, and upgraded to the modern black and white look. The exterior of the home was repainted, the windows were replaced and shuttered, and would ya look at that! It’s much more inviting and charming and is just begging for a new family to move in and enjoy the upgrades. He was able to flip this home into something beautiful in just 4 months, and he sold the home for $230,000. The community and surrounding areas just got that much closer to moving out the “we need fix and flippers” category, and into the “you know you want to live here” category.
