AGENT’S TAKE
Our goal with this listing was to showcase the true essence of the home its distinctive features, thoughtful layout, and the character of the surrounding community. The property offered a rare opportunity to own a home on an extra-wide, mature lot with a double garage – an uncommon find in the area.
Although the luxury market has shown signs of softening in recent months, this home stood out. We experienced strong interest from the start, and ultimately secured competing offers, leading to a firm sale in under two weeks.
Marketing was a key pillar of our strategy. We had professional photography and videography completed well in advance, prepared custom print and digital materials, leveraged a full suite of online platforms, and hosted an agent open house. A unique home, in an exceptional location, backed by strategic marketing – this sale was the result of preparation, presentation, and timing coming together seamlessly.
