A Winning Strategy: How Professional Help Secured A Higher Sale Price

The FSBO That Wouldn’t Sell
This house was on the market as a FSBO priced at $1.4 Million and getting no action before the seller decided to list with me.

Once We Listed It, We Had Multiple Buyers Competing For The Property!
When the seller came to us for help, we re-positioned the property with new photos and pricing and attracted multiple offers, with 2 days of Open Houses and great weather showing off the water views. 

More Buyer Competition Leads To More Seller Profit
The heated buyer competition forced the price up $125,000 above the listing price, which was an impressive $80K over the appraised value. There were no inspection, financing or appraisal contingencies and the buyer closed quickly, netting more profit for the seller than he would have earned if he had sold it alone.
