Serene Home with Private Preserve views

Stephanie Kroll was representing the buyers in a significant real estate transaction. The property in question was initially listed on the market at a price of $389,999, which is not uncommon for homes in the area, particularly given the desirable features and location. However, with her expertise and negotiation skills, Stephanie was able to advocate effectively for her clients, resulting in a final purchase price of $329,000. This substantial reduction of $60,999 from the original listing price showcases her ability to navigate the complexities of real estate negotiations and secure the best possible deal for her clients.

In addition to negotiating a lower purchase price, Stephanie also played a crucial role in arranging for necessary repairs that were estimated to cost around $10,000. This aspect of the negotiation was particularly important, as it ensured that the home would be in optimal condition for the buyers upon their move-in. The repairs likely included addressing issues that could have affected the home’s value or livability, thus enhancing the overall appeal of the property. Such negotiations require not only a keen understanding of the market but also a strong relationship with the seller's agent to ensure that both parties feel satisfied with the outcome.

The property boasted several attractive features that made it stand out in the competitive Lake Charles community. Among these were a newer air conditioning system, which is vital for comfort in warmer months, and partially renovated bathrooms and kitchen spaces. These updates provided a modern touch while allowing the new owners to envision further enhancements that could elevate the home’s overall aesthetic and functionality.

Thanks to Stephanie's successful negotiations, the sellers were able to also hire Kroll Homes to undertake a full design and remodel of the property. This investment in the home not only improved its value but also transformed it into a space that truly reflects the tastes and needs of the new owners. The remodel included:

• Accent walls

• New flooring

• Exterior and interior painting

• Upgrades to the kitchen

• Upgrades to the bathroom

The remodel photos can be viewed on our Portfolio page.

Now, the sellers are enjoying their fully remodeled home in the sought-after Lake Charles community. This neighborhood is known for its vibrant atmosphere, excellent amenities, and strong sense of community, making it an ideal location for families and individuals alike. The successful collaboration between Stephanie Kroll, her clients, and the remodeling team has resulted in a home that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of the new owners, allowing them to fully enjoy their new living space in a community that they can proudly call home.
