Remodel + Strategic Market Positioning

The Challenge

The Situation

Referred by an estate attorney, I was asked to assist with the sale of a neglected but structurally sound property. The central decision was whether to sell as-is for approximately $300,000 or invest strategically to maximize value.

The home required thoughtful evaluation to determine if renovation and staging would produce a meaningful return — while still keeping the estate’s financial goals and timeline in focus.

The Solution

Strategic Planning & Execution

We conducted a detailed consultation outlining the financial impact of remodeling versus selling as-is. Contractor bids and staging estimates were gathered to assess projected return.

The estate chose to invest $38,000 in targeted renovations that improved both function and aesthetics. Professional staging enhanced presentation, repositioning the home from distressed to desirable in a competitive market.

Client Testimonial

In Their
Own Words

"Xenia was amazing!!! When my brother passed away last year, I was faced with many challenges in dealing with his estate. It was quite overwhelming, especially since I live outside Colorado. My probate attorney asked if I intended to keep or sell his property. I told him I would sell it but had no idea how much it would be worth or who to contact. He said, "If you like, I could introduce you to a lady named Xenia Matteson. She really knows her stuff". WELL I GUESS SO!! She was so knowledgeable not only about the potential value but the best time of year to sell, what needed to be done to refurbish, hiring contractors, suggesting specific amenities, inspections, sending videos of the progress, contacting property insurers, even getting the lawn mowed.

She did all this for me and more while I live nearly 1,000 miles away. Couldn't have done it without her. Xenia took charge of every aspect, every detail and I am indebted to her. Thank you Xenia.
