My clients raised their family in this downtown Los Altos home, but as empty nesters, they were ready for their next chapter. While the location was exceptional, the existing floor plan lacked the functionality today’s buyers expect, which would have limited demand and capped value if brought to market as-is.

We began with a clear strategy before the home ever hit the market. I coordinated their move across the Bay Area and managed the full permitting process to allow for targeted changes that dramatically improved flow, usability, and overall desirability. By focusing on high-impact layout improvements rather than unnecessary overhauls, we repositioned the home to appeal to a broader, more competitive buyer pool. After a strong open house weekend, we generated eight offers from motivated buyers who clearly understood the scarcity of a well-located, thoughtfully updated Los Altos home.

• Designed and reconfigured layouts for the primary and hall bathrooms, obtained all required city permits and approvals, and completed full remodels including custom cabinetry, stone, and tile work
• Modified foyer header heights to open and improve the entry layout
• Refinished hardwood flooring throughout
• Modified kitchen cabinetry, including a custom built-in refrigerator look without the built-in refrigerator cost
• Updated HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems to current standards
• Reconfigured laundry room to incorporate functional mudroom features
• Completed new interior and exterior painting
• Installed epoxy flooring in garage
• Insulated and drywalled garage walls for a finished appearance
