You dominate with elegance in your expertise.

My ideas included adding privacy fend sections with hanging plants (to add a little elegance) in front of the windows that are prone to being broken.

Viña is elegant and more expensive.I know there are some expats living in Algarrobo and others in La Serena.I'm not sure about Zapallar and Cachagua.

-add new house numbers that fit the style of the home-add a potted plant--colorful, elegant, stylish--at the front door-add a new mat at the front door-park a luxury vehicle in the driveway or garage/carport for photos if the property is more upscale-clean (and organize?)

You too, are elegible to join the B of A fan club :)

Make your flips stand out by having just a little more elegance, a little touch of class, something unique at that price point, but maybe common in the next step up in price.

Not the most elegant solution but looks pretty decent when painted (rest of kitchen is pretty nice with ss appliances and granite counters - bathrooms are just regular white tiles).  

I still think of it as the "old people, fuddy duddy" apartment complex...right down to the independently owned beauty parlor and café on the first floor (very unusual for my area).The building itself even looks a bit "grandma"...elegant and in great condition, but a bit dated and old fashioned, with heavy Italianate type of architectural features.  

MartinI think thin buildings are elegant in certain settings, and your Japanese examples show that off perfectly.

As far as I can tell (I've personally seen the outside/picture only for the inside) and its not a gut job...its a remove wall paper, paint walls,remove carpet on stairs/lightly sand and refinish floors job with a large lot that would look if 2 nasty trees are removed and includes an elegantly shaped and I believe well maintained pool,  The front steps need pointing but are solid and if I pressure the concrete (all solid) it will look much better.
