Aumann Bender & Associates Helps 75 year old Vietnam Vet Successfully “Flip” His Own Home to Get Top Dollar
La Jolla, CA (PRWEB) October 06, 2015 -- Despite numerous challenges, the team at Aumann Bender & Associates has turned a 34-year-old smoke-damaged home into a hot ticket item to help a 75 year old Vietnam veteran boost his retirement. The seller is seeking top dollar for his Mira Mesa home which initially seemed impossible yet today, the heated interest may push the home’s value way above asking price thanks to Aumann Bender & Associates.
The home situated in the diverse community of Mira Mesa was not only old but generally had not been improved in any way since 1981 besides annual maintenance and appliance upgrades. Moreover the client had been a heavy smoker for more than two decades leaving the interior of the home cigarette smoke stained and odorous.
He turned to Aumann Bender & Associates for helping getting top dollar for his four-bedroom home. After evaluating the home, they proposed a somewhat unusual solution: Take out a home equity loan and do a homeowner flip.
On the recommendation of the Aumann Bender & Associates contracting team and Millport Construction, the client sought a $75K line of credit from Federal Navy Credit Union and was approved. From there the team began a total renovation of the home from top to bottom even adding a 5th bedroom.
Without the renovation, the home would have sold for less than $500K. Today, the asking price is set at $650K with new interest in the property pushing that price even higher. It took smart, innovative thinking to help this elderly client maximize his homes value to get the top dollar he seeks.
Like many Americans, this 75 year old vet will use the profits from the sale of his home to supplement his retirement income. Getting top dollar was imperative for him to live comfortably in his out years. Choosing one of San Diego’s top luxury real estate teams has helped him to realize that goal.
