After 43 years experience selling hundreds of homes that I helped remodel, I’ve put my best tips into a podcast—Sweet Home Santa Barbara. These trade secrets work for Montecito estates, Mesa tract houses, Condos, and everything in between. Some of these tips return more than 10 times the money you invest with only a few hours work!
Each episode is 7-10 minutes long, making them easy to listen to while driving or doing other activities. You can sign up for free at ScottWilliams.com by clicking on “Podcast” on the navigation bar. Or find Sweet Home Santa Barbara on your favorite podcast app. You can even watch them on YouTube—search for Sweet Home Santa Barbara.
More episodes will be added on a regular basis. The Podcasts are formatted as a conversation between me and well-known author and frequent Oprah guest, Jonathan Robinson. Jonathan keeps it practical and fun while I reveal precise and important information.
Here’s one example of these valuable tips: What front door color has proven to get the highest home sales price? Research was done using sales data from over 100,000 homes to determine the impact of front door colors on the sales price. Homes that had front doors with this color netted more than a 1 percent higher sales price than homes painted with other colors. This is $15- 25,000 for a Mesa home for the cost of a can of paint. I’ll tell you many other tips that can earn you 300-1,000 percent for your fix-up dollars.
