The $100,000 Difference: Before and After My Selling System
Everyone loves a good real estate story—especially when it ends with an extra hundred grand. This one isn’t luck or coincidence; it’s strategy, execution, and a system I've fine-tuned to make sure we squeeze every dollar out of every deal.
The Early Offer: The moment I secured this listing, I went into overdrive. The clock was ticking, and I wasn’t about to leave anything on the table. My first step? Picked up the phone and called every agent working nearby listings, recent closings, and anyone who knew the neighborhood inside-out.
It didn't take long before I found one. She had buyers hungry for a similar place, but the property they’d seen was too small. Mine? Bigger, better, and just about to hit the market. They wanted it immediately, so I set up a private showing before the property was officially listed.
Her clients made an offer right away. It was decent—solid, even. But decent doesn't cut it. I knew we could do better, so we politely turned it down.
Activating My System: That's when the gloves came off and my full selling system swung into action. I pulled together a crew: cleaners, packers, professional organizers, a handyman, a painter. I had Marketplace and an auctioneer handle selling off extra clutter. Stagers, photographers, videographers, floor plan specialists—they were all lined up, ready to go.
And yes, I was right there with them, project managing every single step. I’m not the "delegate and disappear" type; when I say my system works, it’s because I’m elbow-deep in the details, making sure it does.
The Results Speak: A week later, we hit the market with a bang. The buzz was instant and intense. Four days and three strong offers later, we closed the deal at $1.47 million—that's 98% of our asking price. But here's the kicker, and my favorite part of this entire process: that final sale was exactly $100,000 higher than the original offer we turned down.
That's not luck. That's the power of preparation, strategy, and relentless execution.
The Takeaway: Real estate isn't just about showing homes and hoping for the best. It's about strategy, hustle, and a relentless pursuit of maximum value. My system isn't easy. It's not for the faint of heart. But it works, every single time.
If you're thinking about selling and want results—not just promises—reach out. Because your home deserves more than average effort. Your home deserves the difference that $100,000 can make.
