I’ve known this client for more than 20 years.
When he came to me, he was going through a divorce, preparing to move out of state, and needed to sell his home without creating another major project in his life.

The obvious strategy might have been to remodel the house before selling. But after reviewing the neighborhood, recent sales, and current buyer demand, the numbers told a different story.

Instead, we kept it simple: minor cleaning, minimal prep, and an aggressive list price designed to create competition.

It worked. We generated multiple offers, and in the end, he netted approximately what he likely would have netted after spending the money, time, and energy on a remodel. 🎉

Real estate is not one size fits all.

Sometimes remodeling makes sense. Sometimes selling as-is makes more sense. The job is knowing the difference.

One of the best parts of real estate is when past clients come back years later. 🙌

I originally helped this client purchase a home back in 2012, and this year he reached out again—this time ready to purchase another home with a friend.

We searched across several different zip codes, toured a lot of options, and eventually found the one: a great home in their ideal area, tucked away on a cul-de-sac lot.

The home was listed at $424,000.

We came in at $400,000 and asked the seller to contribute 6% toward my clients’ fees and closing costs.

After negotiations, we were able to put the deal together at just 93% of the ORIGINAL list price AND with the seller paying the full 6% contribution.

Finding the right house is only part of the job. Structuring and negotiating the right deal matters too.

If you’re thinking about buying this year, don’t assume the list price is the price—or that you have to cover every expense yourself.

Sometimes selling isn’t part of the plan—it becomes the plan.

Earlier this year, my client’s job transferred him out of state. He and his family found a home they wanted to purchase in Virginia, but their offer was contingent on selling their Phoenix home, and the timeline was tight.

We moved quickly, got the home prepared and on the market, and secured a buyer within 10 days—in a community where homes were taking around 60 days to sell.

That’s the value of having a clear strategy when timing matters.

If you’re considering selling because of a relocation, job transfer, or another major life change, DM me “MOVE” and I’ll help you build a plan before you make your next move. 🏡

CLOSED! 🏡

This home was a top-performing short-term rental for my client, and now it begins a new chapter as a home for a new family.

A great outcome for everyone involved. Congratulations to my seller and the new homeowners!

I was referred to this seller by a mutual friend, and before we even went live, she asked me:

“How are you so sure you can sell our home when there are others on our block that are bigger and priced for less?”

I told her to trust me. 🙏

We sold the home during coming soon status to a cash buyer, at one of the strongest price-per-square-foot sales in the area over the past 12 months. 💪

The biggest house and the lowest price don’t always win. Strategy matters.

If you’re thinking about selling, send me a message and let’s build a plan.
