Every now and then, a home hits the market that’s so dang cute it instantly stands out from the crowd — and Sarah’s was one of them. From the moment you walked in, it was clear how much love and attention she had poured into the space, from thoughtful design choices to a warm, welcoming feel that just made you want to stay awhile.
We listed her home on Wabash Street at $450K, and within just 19 days (and 10 total showings), we were under contract slightly under list price — with only minimal inspection items to address. In today’s market, where many homes are sitting for months and some listings from the same time we went live are still active or have expired, this is a win worth celebrating.
The difference came down to strategy and preparation. Sarah didn’t just list her home “as-is” — she took the time upfront to make it truly shine before we ever hit “publish” on the listing. Every room was styled to highlight its best features, the yard was tidy and inviting, and our marketing showed the home at its absolute best. This kind of attention to detail creates an emotional connection with buyers, and that connection is what gets offers written.
The result was a smooth sale in a slower-moving market, proving that with the right game plan — smart pricing, strong marketing, and thoughtful presentation — it’s possible to stand out and sell when others can’t. Sarah’s success is a reminder that in real estate, a little extra effort upfront can lead to a much better ending.
