Why this Summerville home sold so fast (and yours can too)

It is so rewarding when a past client reaches out to me for help with their next real estate move, especially when their last move was more than a decade ago.

These particular clients were splitting time between Charleston and Connecticut, and they decided it was time to just have one house to maintain instead of two. They were ready to sell their Summerville home.

At our initial meeting, we walked the house and the grounds, so they could show me the updates they had completed during their ownership, and point out the things they love about their house.

I brought market data to share with them, and we discussed what the market data was revealing about the challenges and opportunities surrounding their home sale. 

Their home was unique in that it was in a small neighborhood very near the conveniences of downtown Summerville, it was at the end of a road, and it had lots of privacy. 

We considered who might be the buyer for the house, and what other options that buyer currently had to choose from.

We looked at the target price range, recent solds, and current market activity (homes listed, sold, and under contract in the last 90 days).

And then we made a plan.

When I work with sellers, we're not so much determining the eventual sales price, as we are looking for the position the house needs to be in so that it is a compelling option for the buyers who are in the market today.

With this approach, we're using psychology, art, and science to develop a strategy that will provide the seller with the largest return on their investment.

Using this blend of experience, forecasting, and planning resulted in multiple offers by the second day the house was on the market. Other properties the same area? Still sitting for sale.

Are you looking for someone who can make the market make sense for you? Someone who can provide a plan and strategy that gives you the confidence to pursue your real estate goals and dreams?
