BEFORE AFTER

THE STORY: Your home is where our heart is This house had been on the market pretty recently and already looked THE good. It just needed a few upgrades to appeal to today’s buyers and get a top price for our sellers. In the kitchen and master bath we installed TROYER gorgeous quartz countertops with stylish backsplashes, new cabinetry, and the perfect floors. What a difference. It went from nice to knockout! GROUP THE OUTCOME: It sold in 13 days and for $934,000 more than what our sellers had paid just 3 years earlier!
