New flooring, interior painting throughout, kitchen remodel, and open concept - demo wall.

This 4-bedroom, 3-bath 1940s colonial in North Bethesda, Maryland became part of a family transition after the homeowner sadly passed away. Her daughter, who was living out of state, inherited the property and needed help preparing the home for sale from afar. Working closely with her agent, Marilyn, the homeowner was able to confidently move forward with a full pre-sale renovation designed to maximize the property’s value and buyer appeal. The transformation included a complete kitchen remodel, the addition of a new first-floor powder room, removal of a wall to create a more open-concept living and dining space, and updated flooring and paint throughout the home. Together, the renovations modernized the property while preserving the character of the original colonial design.

The strategic renovations helped position the home as a more competitive and move-in-ready property, generating an additional $111,500 in profit for the seller. The successful sale also increased Marilyn’s commission by 34%, creating a strong outcome for both agent and homeowner while giving the family greater peace of mind throughout the process.
