No I am not tooting my own horn, but on the heals of my last post, this is fitting. I seriously LOVE real estate! I know I know, but it is true. It is actually fun for me. If I could just go look at houses all day I would be a happy camper, but this woman amazes me. Seriously, I have to give kudos where kudos are due and AnnMarie James, owner of Silver Real Estate is a local real estate agent here in Destin. A few years ago I met AnnMarie and was witness to a remodel she had done that some clients of mine fell in love with. Well in my opinion the remodel she did was pretty spectacular so I started kind of watching her work. I was working on my own remodel and although I wasn’t reselling my own, she was so kind and helpful. I happened to have a client with property in this same area, so because I was watching this area for activity, this particular property caught my eye. I can walk into a home and know that AnnMarie touch by its clean uncluttered, open and classic feel. It is always different and unique, but I always feel like I am at some spa destination. It is easier for me to show you in pictures so with AnnMarie’s permission, take a look at these before and after pictures of a gorgeous redo in Crystal Beach.
Ok here is the exterior – before…
Here is the amazing AFTER…
Does not even look like the same house – can you say curb appeal???
Now here are a few more before pictures ~ I attempted to match them up, but I have to be honest here, it was difficult for me to even do that. This is the front entryway…before…
Here is the front entry way, AFTER!!!
Another view…before
and after…
The dining area before…
and ~ AFTER! Let there be light!!!
The kitchen before…
Again, after!
Same house! This needs to be in some Better Homes and gardens magazine, seriously! I think I mentioned my background in Interior Design, but you can not teach this, this is a skill, and to have this vision is spectacular. I point this out because one I am absolutely impressed and she is my competition, so I am not making this stuff up – but also to point out how very important this is.
I don’t even have ALL the pictures up, but again, here is the master, before…
And after…
Lastly, the pool area before…
and AFTER!
Now, do not get me wrong, AnnMarie, put a LOT of work into this house, but in a matter of a few months, she successfully flipped this house for a profit. I can not tell you how much because I have no way of knowing the exact numbers, but I can tell you it was on the market for 7 months before it sold the first time and sold for almost 25% less than the original listing price and when AnnMarie sold it – it was on the market for less than 2 weeks and the difference between the listing price and selling price was less than 3% and so that alone speaks volumes.
