I just can’t help but brag about the amazing transformation going on at Colebrook Road. Take a look at how the unfinished basement looked before we started:

And take a look at this progress photo of our finished basement!

Even the darkest, dingiest spaces have potential if you know how to look at things!

When we found this property it had been neglected for long time, both inside and out (see for yourself below). But the all-brick house has great bones and we have some great ideas about how to clean everything up, improve the layout, and modernize it for current homebuyers.

We are already at work on the renovation, and are making good progress. I know the pictures look pretty scary, but just scroll down the page to the before-and-after results of our last project at Mount Pleasant to see what an incredible transformation is possible. I’ll be posting some in-progress pictures in a couple days so you can see how much of an improvement has already been made.

Everybody out there who’s looking for a great deal on a great home can get details about this property before it goes on the market by signing up for our mailing list to the right.

After five months of looking, Jan and her family were at their wits end.

The few deals on reasonably good conditioned homes she did find were bid up by other buyers who had the means (maybe) to do the fix-ups needed to the properties. Seeing as many houses as she had, Jan — and even some of the agents she came across — felt that people were overpaying for these bank-owned properties, even though they were discounted from the high-priced market at the peak of the bubble.
