Referred in by the listing agent for a simple exterior colour consult, TDC's BUYERSEYE report on this under ten-year old investment property called it early: repaint the outside on its own, and the inside will only look worse. The client agreed that evening.
Drab floors, bathrooms and bedrooms that merely passed, and a statement pool lost in early-2000s greige. The agent wanted the renovation kept short; TDC held the line on what the result actually required, floors, walls, driveways, pool, bathrooms, carpet and electrical.
The client called the evening the report landed. "I hear you." The full scope followed, and the property went on to set a street record.
In the client's words
"The Design Concierge was put my way by the listing agent, rather against the grain of my own instincts. Rod turned up and, within the hour, it was rather plain I hadn't the faintest idea where capital ought to be deployed and where it oughtn't. Rod, refreshingly, managed me before he managed a single tradesman. The end result required no further speculation on my part. Couldn't be happier."
