Helping sell a family home for an extra $150k, stress-free

We recently worked with a family who wanted to sell their home but were feeling overwhelmed by the process. They were unsure where to start and were worried about the stress involved in selling a property. Our team stepped in to assist with the sale and make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible for the family.

Finding the Right Agent

One of the first steps we took was to find the right agent to sell the family's property. We researched different agents in the local area and narrowed it down to two we believed would be a good fit based on their skills, recent sales history, and reputation in the industry. We then interviewed both agents and invited them to inspect the property and provide an appraisal.

We presented the family with both appraisals and made recommendations on which agent we believed would be best suited to sell their property. Once the family made a decision, we negotiated terms with the chosen agent on their behalf.

Managing the Sales Campaign

With the agent appointed, we then managed the sales campaign for the family. We communicated with the agent and coordinated all aspects of the campaign, from pre-sale improvements to marketing copy and open for inspection bookings. This allowed the family to focus on their day-to-day lives without the added stress of managing the sale of their property.

Selling the Property

The family's property was set for auction, but an offer was made prior to the auction at the reserve price the family had decided on with our assistance. While the offer was acceptable, we believed we could potentially negotiate a more attractive offer for the family.

We worked with the agent to negotiate with the potential buyer, and after several re-submitted offers, we received an offer of $1,650,000, which was $150,000 above what the family had originally wanted. The family was happy with the outcome, and the property was sold within just 3.5 weeks of engaging our services.

Benefits of Working with Us

Working with our team provided several benefits for the family:

  • A stress-free process for the sale of their property
  • No additional costs for our services, as our fee was met through the agent they engaged
  • Reduction in marketing fees by advising them against unnecessary costs
  • Time saved by reducing the number of meetings the family had to attend
  • Property sold for $150,000 above what they originally wanted

In summary, working with our team made the process of selling their family home easier and more profitable for the family. By finding the right agent, managing the sales campaign, and negotiating on their behalf, we were able to achieve a successful outcome that exceeded their expectations.
