780 sq ft, third-floor walk-up. The client had rented it out for six years; we prepped it for a fast, clean sale.

The Brief

What the client needed.

The owner was a first-time seller in a hurry — taking a job in Vancouver and needing the Plateau unit closed before September. Six years of tenants, one small kitchen leak that had been fixed but stained the ceiling, and a Murphy bed that needed to be sold with the unit.

What We Did

The work, in sequence.

Two-person cleaning crew for the full day, including inside the oven, behind the fridge, and the track of the Murphy bed. Light drywall patch on the ceiling stain, repainted in Benjamin Moore Decorator's White. We staged it for a young first-time buyer profile: simple bed, small dining for two, one plant, one piece of art.
