How I Transformed a Rental into a Record-Setting Home

Terracotta-tiled patio with a white pergola, outdoor dining set, and lush garden beds at dusk.

Challenge

Seek a record-setting price for a townhome backing up to a major thoroughfare that has been a rental for decades.

Dining nook with a round white table, woven chairs, plantation shutters, and a woven pendant light.

Strategy

Impeccably prepare the home for sale, including cosmetic remodeling and landscaping to enhance the natural beauty of the residence. Direct twilight photography and artistic lens videography to elicit the home’s feeling of tranquility.
