For the most part, the Good Deal or Not (GDoN) comments were generally pretty kind. The pink exterior paint color took a hit and a few people seemed to expect something more out of the renovation to be priced this close to a million dollars. Uncharacteristically, nobody cited any crime incidents (yes, I know it’s Mount Pleasant, but I can think of a few).

The listing broker was Matt Spicer of Matthew Spicer Real Estate, and son of DC real estate investor legend, Jack Spicer. Over the past forty or so years, Jack has bought and sold over three thousand houses. Typically the Spicers pay cash, do a complete rehab, and then re-sell the property.

Despite being at this price point, the property attracted a tremendous amount of activity. Matt said that the Open House the first weekend was swamped. Rather than entertain multiple offers, he mentioned that, in this case, he was looking to work with the first good offer that came in. Ratification (full agreement of terms by all parties) happened within a scant eight days of closing and they ended up with several back up offers.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
