8061 Valmoral- Fully Renovated, Maintenance Free

8061 Valmoral in Mobile, AL 36619 is now ready for sale! This is a home I have been remodeling for the last few weeks. It's got some GREAT features and is an excellent home for anyone on a budget that is tired of throwing money away on rent. This home with insurance and taxes included should be at or less than $500 a month. Feel free to call or text and I can show you this home anytime or refer you to a great mortgage broker or lender!

On this home, we redecked the roof and took it a step further by using Timberline Architectural shingles. These shingles last a LOT longer than your standard three tabs and are usually found on much higher priced homes. The vinyl siding is all new and the brick is fresh and clean. All updated plumbing and electrical including a new service box and main line have all been installed. Also, we have a new energy efficient hot water heater and brand new Lennox HVAC system.

I tried to give the person on a budget a kitchen you would find in a much higher priced home by installing all stainless steel GE appliances. The stove is a flat top stove with a multitude of features, excellent dishwasher and vented over the range microwave. You will also see 2cm thick granite countertops and brand new all wood cabinets. 18 inch ceramic tile thruout the kitchen and all the wet areas.

I used my favorite paint, the Eddie Bauer Valspar Signature paint with primer on this home and installed all new six panel doors and designer light fixtures. In the bathroom I put an extra deep tub, light in the shower, over sized sink cabinet with marble top and three door medicine cabinet. The shower wall is all custom ceramic tile.

This home was completed in less than five weeks.

8256 Woodland Hills Dr

In August of 2009, I was approached by a new construction builder who had a couple who wanted to purchase one of his new construction homes but needed to sell their own.

The home was only a year old and was purchased for 145,000.

I was told if I would buy their current home at a discounted price they would put me as the selling agent on the new construction home that had a commission of 5% and was a $220,000 home.

I put a contract on their home for 127,000 and requested closing costs. On the contract I put the buyer as my name or assumable. Within 30 days I had sold the contract to a prospective buyer I had been working with for 132,050. This resulted in a profit of 5,050.

I also received a commission check for the purchase of the new construction home in a gross amount of 11,000 that was shared with my real estate office.

As a courtesy, I assisted the buyer of the Woodland Hills home with contracting a remodeling crew to paint the home, and to re floor it. I did not charge for this but in 2011 the homeowner used me to sell and list the home once again for sale as his employer transferred him to Florida. This has a commission of 5%.

Total Gross Potential Profit (portions shared with Realtor Office): 23,450
