"Because the home was occupied, typical activities like painting the interior walls and professional staging were not going to be feasible. We did a tiny bit of work inside (furnace and HVAC maintenance and some handyman tasks), but mostly we stayed on the exterior. The garage was repaired and repainted. Trees were trimmed back. Dead branches were removed. Flowers were planted. Worn grass was replaced with fresh sod. Railing and gates were painted. Hardscapes were power-washed."
The Young Platinum Group, specializing in Palo Alto and Atherton real estate, documented a case study involving a tech executive's home at 744 Guinda Street. Due to an urgent timeline, the team could not perform typical interior preparations like painting or staging since the seller remained occupied. Instead, they focused on exterior work including garage repair and repainting, tree trimming, landscaping, fresh sod installation, railing and gate painting, and hardscape power-washing. The total investment of $14,432 in swift exterior improvements resulted in significant returns, demonstrating that strategic property preparation yields substantial financial benefits even with limited access and compressed timelines.
