19 years in one home means 19 years of memories… and a whole lot to sort through before a move.
For the seller of 2009 W Miners Drive in Dunlap, selling wasn’t something that started the day the home hit the market.
It started 4 months earlier.
The seller was preparing to relocate to a warmer state, but after 19 years in the home, there was a lot to organize, pack, move, and prepare. The goal wasn’t simply to sell—it was to make the transition manageable while positioning the home for the strongest possible result.
That’s where the Venky Basam Home Team started working well before the “For Sale” sign went up.
We created a step-by-step plan for what needed attention before listing, helping the seller focus on where it made sense to spend money—and where it didn’t—so the home could make a strong impression without unnecessary expenses.
We also provided a staging consultation to help the home show at its best.
Then, when it was time to go to market, we made sure buyers could experience the property from every angle with professional marketing that included a 3D virtual tour, floor plan, drone photography, photos, and video.
The preparation paid off.
Multiple offers.
Sold for $22,000 OVER asking price.
But the part we’re especially proud of is that this wasn’t a last-minute scramble. It was a carefully planned process that began months before the home ever went on the market.
If you’re thinking about selling in the next 3–12 months, you don’t have to wait until you’re ready to list to start planning.
A conversation now can help you figure out what to do, what not to do, where to spend wisely, and how to make the eventual move less stressful.
Give the Venky Basam Home Team a no-pressure call or message. Let’s build a plan designed to help you get top dollar, with less hassle, and a smoother path to SOLD.
How far in advance do you think you’d want to start preparing for your next move?
