St. Charles Home Sold in 9 Days for 98% of List Price
?Leslie, you?re a miracle worker. If only we?d known you when we first tried to sell a year ago. Thank you so, so much?.
When the frustrated seller called me at the end of August her?lovely home at 606 Mockingbird Ct in the Red Gate subdivision had been on the market for nearly a year with two other brokers. I had competitive listings in the area that sold in the past few months and realized that I hadn?t shown or even noticed her house.
A quick look at the online photos showed an odd assortment of fuzzy and off-kilter photos, including one of a toilet and three of the front hall foyer. The photos certainly didn?t do justice to the beautiful light-filled rooms and over 4,000 sf of finished space.
Since we were heading into Fall the pool of buyers was about to rapidly dry up in the subdivisions where people typically get moved in before the start of the school year. I knew we had to draw in as many possible buyers as quickly as possible.
We used?virtual staging?from Obeo?and our VHT?professional photography?to make the house picture perfect for online viewing (see below). When home buyers can see how the space looks with furniture they have an easier time imagining themselves living there. I was so pleased at how the large rooms popped to life online. We provided large prints of each photo in the house so that buyers could remember what drew them into the home.
A perfectly orchestrated?listing syndication?made the listing available to all interested buyers at once. It can take up to a week for the listing to be electronically sent to all of the real estate websites like Zillow.com, Realtor.com and Trulia.com. Since I wanted as many buyers in as quickly as possible, I manually entered the listing on many sites and pushed out a few blog posts.
The extra effort and expense paid off. We had 12 showings in the first week and received two offers. We were under contract 9 days after the listing went live and we closed 25 days later.?
The seller and her family were able to quickly select a home in Florida and see an end to their time in a cramped and uncomfortable rental apartment.
