So how did we help our close friend, Jessica (aka Jmad), achieve $15k higher when selling her condo than her original goal? Here’s the inside scoop:

Jessica reached out to us several months before she was actually ready to put her condo on the market. By looping us into the process early, we were able to work with her to help her prep her condo for sale to ensure she achieved top dollar.

We met with Jessica at her home to help her decide what upgrades and repairs to make. We also suggested contractors that were able to perform the work quickly and affordably. Jessica opted to install new carpet on the stairs and top floor. She also installed all new windows. Both updates were big selling features.

After Jessica completed the updates and a few minor repairs, we met with her at her home again to go over staging the property to ensure it showed at its absolute best while on the market. Since Jessica has great style, we were able to use her existing furniture for staging. We rearranged her pieces, opening up the space to create a more spacious layout and a more airy feel.

We also discussed the current market with Jessica, shared with her what comparable homes were selling for in her neighborhood and helped her set a fair yet competitive list price. Setting the right price is key. Overpricing may cause your home to grow stale while under pricing might leave money on the table. With Jessica’s updates and repairs, we were able to list for $10k higher than her original list price.

We utilized our marketing strategy to create high interest and generate multiple offers. Within 24 hours, Jessica was under contract for $5k higher than list price, thus bringing her grand total to $15k higher than her goal.

Together with Jessica’s cooperation on following our tips and guidance, we were able to help her achieve the highest dollar possible while ensuring a smooth transaction from start to finish.

Jmad, HUGE congrats on selling your home! Thank you so much for entrusting us to sell your condo. Your friendship and support mean the absolute world to us! Your sale is really bittersweet. We’re sad you’re leaving, but we know you and Wells are going to thrive on your new adventure! We’re JMad that you’re leaving, but we wish you Wells!
