From Familiar to Fabulous: A Neighborly Transformation with Star Power

Some projects are special from the very first conversation—and this one was exactly that. When my longtime neighbors from my first home reached out, I was honored to help them take the next step in their journey.

They were an absolute joy to work with—open, collaborative, and fully invested in the process. We started with a practical baseline: the “as is” numbers. Then I walked them through what a simple refresh could do for their bottom line.

With a few strategic updates—new lighting, fresh carpet and paint, a deep clean, and full-home staging—the house went from familiar to fabulous. If you’ve ever seen Miss Congeniality, picture Sandra Bullock’s unforgettable makeover moment. That was this house. Practically unrecognizable—but in the best way.

The final result? A transformation that left the sellers floored—and a sales price that did the same.
