At Aspire Los Angeles, we believe that every home has a story and it’s our job to help it shine. Before a property ever hits the market, we pour time, care, and strategy into making sure it’s presented in its best possible light. Our latest listing at 3517 9th Ave is the perfect example of what that process looks like in action.
Located in the historic heart of Jefferson Park, this stunning Craftsman home blends timeless charm with thoughtful updates. But making that beauty stand out in today’s competitive market doesn’t just happen, it's a curated effort.
So what does it take to get a listing ready the Aspire way?
It Starts With a Vision
Before photos are taken or furniture is moved, we take time to walk the property with the owner to evaluate its unique features, and develop a listing strategy tailored to its strengths. For 3517 9th Ave, the original woodwork, spacious layout, fully permitted ADU and curb appeal were clear highlights, but it was important to balance its classic character with a fresh, inviting feel.
Professional Painting
Fresh paint is one of the most transformative updates you can make and at 3517 9th Ave, it played a starring role. We updated the kitchen cabinets with a modern, on-trend color that instantly elevated the space while still complementing the home’s Craftsman charm. A new exterior paint color brought a clean, crisp look to the façade, and a bold pop of color on the front door enhanced the home’s style, but also gave it a refreshed, move-in-ready feel buyers love.
Upgrading Your Home
Sometimes it’s the small, thoughtful updates that make the biggest impact. We swapped out dated hardware and fixtures for sleek, modern choices that complemented the home’s design. We also made a few minor repairs that improved function and appearance, the kind of changes that buyers may not consciously notice, but that collectively make the home feel more polished and well-maintained.
Professional Cleaning
Every successful showing begins with a spotless home. We brought in a professional cleaning team to ensure the space felt fresh and welcoming from the moment buyers walked through the door. From baseboards to bathroom tile, every detail was polished to perfection.
Landscaping Services
Curb appeal is your home’s first impression and it matters. For this listing, we made small but impactful landscaping updates that instantly brightened the exterior. New grass seeds were added, trees were trimmed and colorful plants were added. These simple changes can make a huge difference in how a property is perceived, setting the tone for the entire showing experience.
Home Staging
Next came staging. Our team worked with our preferred professional staging company to accentuate the home’s layout and flow, while adding warmth and style that helped buyers imagine themselves living there. At 3517 9th, this meant creating cozy moments in the living room, adding softness to the spacious bedrooms, and turning the sun-filled dining room into a true showstopper.
Capturing the Magic
Once the home was prepped and staged, we called in our preferred media team to capture it from every angle. High-quality photos, cinematic video walkthroughs, and aerial drone footage were all part of the package. The goal? To make buyers fall in love before they even stepped inside.
