This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home in El Cajon features a galley kitchen, stainless steel appliances, a cozy fireplace, and low-maintenance private backyard. In order to modernize this home, agent Dennis Ryan of Century 21 Award teamed up with project director Melissa Rondon to get this property ready to hit the market and impress local buyers. Some of the major upgrades that Melissa directed include new flooring and fresh paint in each room, functional and design upgrades in all bathrooms, new quartz countertops in the kitchen, and fresh paint on the exterior of the home. Once this project was completed, the home sold for $640,000, netting the sellers a $16,876 profit!
