Sold Over Asking Price in Under 10 Days!

Here’s how we made it happen:

Home Preparation

While this home was in generally good condition, it needed some updates. After discussing options with my clients, we agreed that a full renovation wasn’t feasible. Rather than tackle major projects like the kitchen or bathrooms, we opted for a strategic “as-is” approach—allowing the future buyer to customize the space to their liking.

That said, selling a home as-is doesn’t mean skipping prep altogether. Our goal was to present a clean, livable space with obvious potential. We repainted the entire interior (walls, ceilings, and trim), deep cleaned, refreshed the landscaping, and staged the home to create a bright and welcoming atmosphere. The result? Strong first impressions through standout photos and successful in-person showings—ultimately leading to multiple offers and a final sale over asking price.

Pricing Strategy

Pricing was key. We knew buyers would factor in the cost of updates the moment they walked through the door. If the list price didn’t reflect those anticipated expenses, interest would quickly fade and the listing would go stale.

Given today’s market—where buyers are especially price-sensitive due to higher interest rates—we priced the home roughly 10% below the most recent comparable sale. This strategic move attracted strong interest, generated multiple offers, and allowed us to sell above asking at a price that felt fair to both buyer and seller.

Smart preparation and strategic pricing made all the difference in this sale. If you're thinking about selling and want a tailored approach that works in today’s market, I’d love to help you do the same.
