HMT Transformations - Hoffman Murphy Real Estate Team

A tailored prep-to-market service that renovates, refreshes, and elevates your home with care, efficiency, and your goals at the center. Not every upgrade adds value. We help you avoid costly mistakes and focus only on improvements that today’s buyers are willing to pay for.

Before and after photos tell the story best. Each project below began with a conversation about what mattered most to the seller, what buyers in the market were looking for, and which updates would bring the strongest return. Every result reflects a thoughtful plan, efficient execution, and a measurable gain in value.

Hoffman Murphy - 426 S Broadway_Unit A Kitchen4

Challenge: This home originally hit the market near $2,000,000 but struggled to attract serious buyers. Feedback pointed to dated finishes and a lack of move-in-ready appeal, and the listing stalled without progress. When we began the conversation with the sellers, the home had been on the market for 120 days. Without updates, our listing team recommended going to market for the second time at $1,850,000.

Approach: We identified high-impact cosmetic upgrades: fresh paint, refinished ceilings, updated flooring, modern fixtures, and curated staging. These improvements brightened the space, modernized the interior, and helped buyers see the full potential.

Investment: $80,000

Market Strategy: Once updates were complete, we relaunched the home with new marketing, professional visuals, and refreshed agent outreach.

Result: The property immediately regained momentum and sold at $2,330,000 — at full asking — shortly after relaunch.

Seller Benefit: Instead of reducing the price to chase the market, the seller secured a significantly stronger financial result and walked away with approximately $400,000 more than if they had sold as-is.

Original Condition

Challenge: This property had been lovingly maintained by the same family since it was built. The home had great potential but reflected its original era. Our team projected an as-is value of around $3,300,000, given local market activity and buyer expectations. The goal was to bring it to market looking fresh and current without changing its original character.

Approach: Our team recommended targeted updates that would modernize the home while preserving its warmth. The improvements included new flooring, reglazed bathrooms, updated fixtures, refreshed landscaping, cabinet refinishing, and a kitchen update. Each change was chosen to enhance presentation and function without unnecessary cost.

Investment: $90,000

After Improvements

Market Strategy: Once updates were complete, we launched at $3,500,000 with professional photography, curated marketing, and agent outreach to highlight the home’s renewed appeal.

Result: The property drew immediate attention and sold for $4,000,000, exceeding the list price by $500,000.

Seller Benefit: By investing $90,000 in focused improvements, the seller added $700,000 in value and walked away with approximately $610,000 more than selling as-is.

Original Condition

Challenge: This home at 426 S Broadway had strong potential and a desirable location, but the finishes felt dated and it wouldn't have competed well against recently renovated properties. In its original condition, our recommended list price was approximately $1,200,000.

Approach: We focused on high-impact cosmetic updates that would elevate appeal without over-improving: fresh paint, new flooring, updated lighting, kitchen refresh, and professional staging. These improvements brightened the home and created the move-in-ready experience today’s buyers expect.

Investment: $80,000

After Improvements

Market Strategy: After improvements, we brought the home to market at $1,400,000 with full marketing, strategic agent outreach, and open houses to capture demand quickly.

Result: The property received multiple offers in under two weeks and sold for $1,650,000.

Seller Benefit: By investing strategically before listing, the seller unlocked $450,000 in additional value vs. selling as-is. After the $80,000 improvement budget, they walked away with approximately $370,000 more than they would have in its original condition.
