From showings and inspections to paperwork, repairs, tenants, appraisals, and closings — things do not get done by accident. A good Realtor and property management team keep the deal moving, solve problems fast, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
Real estate rewards action, follow-up, and experience.
I just left a meeting with a client after selling their home at 224 Northampton—and this one is a perfect example of what the right strategy can do.
We originally purchased the property in 2021 for around $175,000. About $100,000 was put into renovations… and we just sold it for $422,500 in only FOUR days.
So how did we do it?
Two things made the difference:
First—marketing. Second—a seller who was ready to show the property when opportunity hit.
We launched the property and immediately generated strong traffic. Multiple showings led to two offers:
One had contingencies and kept changing. The other—a clean, strong offer from an attorney who wanted to live there.
We chose certainty.
But here's where experience matters…
Even though we didn't take the first offer, I followed up—and turned that into another deal by offering to purchase their property for cash.
? That's two deals from one listing.
We also took a proactive approach:
Pre-listing inspection (eliminated surprises)
Addressed issues upfront
Strengthened our negotiation position
During appraisal—fun twist—the appraiser had actually lived in the house before and even remembered building the front deck.
From inspections to repairs to closing—we controlled the process.
We even negotiated:
Extra time for the seller to move
Lease logistics on a rear unit
Clean HUD settlement
Everything was handled smoothly so the client could move stress-free.
They even saved $6,000 in commission.
I've sold over 1,200 homes—and this is what experience looks like.
If you want:
Better marketing
Stronger negotiations
Faster results
