2020 NE 54th St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308

A renovation with a complete paper trail. In Coral Ridge, every upgrade was permitted and documented.

This four-bedroom house in Coral Ridge sold for $1,120,000 in December 2025. A local developer had renovated it from top to bottom. Every change was recorded in a full set of permits. In Fort Lauderdale, especially after the Surfside collapse, buyers view unpermitted work as a liability, a reason to lower an offer. Oleg Sergiienko and Catherine Kolga, who managed the sale, understood this advantage. They also listened to the market, adjusting the price based on feedback from showings rather than holding to an initial number. This kept the house visible to the actual pool of buyers for a property of its kind.

The buyers paid for a renovation they could verify. The market confirmed the price.
