Behind the Closing: A Renovated Gem

After selling a home in this neighborhood last year, Deanna and I were invited to value a property just one street over. We met the seller, stayed in touch, and nearly a year later they were ready to make their move.

Before hitting the market, we helped transform the home with thoughtful updates, including new light fixtures, refreshed hardware, fresh paint, staging, and a little handyman magic. With the finishing touches complete, we brought in our top photographers and videographer to showcase the property at its best. Timing was key, we launched just in time for the busy spring market.

The results? Weekend open houses were buzzing, and we quickly received (and accepted) an over-asking cash offer. All the preparation and hard work paid off!

What made this home shine was its rare floor plan: a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet, soaking tub, and double vanity—plus four additional bedrooms and laundry, all on the second floor. Even better, a second primary suite and a cozy family room addition with a fireplace offered the kind of space today’s buyers dream of. The seamless connection to the outdoor oasis was the cherry on top.

Another successful closing—and another happy Newton story!
