At this breathtaking hilltop property with an incredible view, seller Chris Petersen had started managing the remodel himself but found it too big a job, especially as he had to deal with other logistics of prepping the house for market. (Agent Lindy Emrich says appreciatively, “If we had not had Freemodel on this project, we would still be doing the project!”) Chris, Lindy, and Freemodel all agreed to focus on rethinking the master bathroom, whose dated furnishings didn’t show the house to its best advantage. Freemodel project director Melissa Jones says it was a priority to ensure the home presented as a “luxury property (where) everything was shiny and beautiful but also working perfectly.” What was even more beautiful was the 209% ROI on the remodel costs, allowing maximum profit from this once-in-a-lifetime property.
