Introduction
Selling a home in just a few days, with multiple offers and over list price, may sound like a dream in a competitive market—but with the right approach, it’s achievable. Recently, we did just that: with strategic preparation, targeted marketing, and expert timing, we helped a seller achieve a sale that exceeded neighborhood prices. Here’s a breakdown of how we made it happen, and how this approach can work for your home too.
Step 1: Preparing the Home for Maximum Impact
Preparation is key to creating an appealing listing. In this case, the seller had already relocated out of state, so we took on the task of getting the home market-ready. Over the course of 3 weeks, we focused on making the home shine in all the right ways:
- Deep Clean and Touch-Ups: A spotless home makes a powerful first impression. We arranged for a deep clean and managed small repairs to ensure everything was in perfect shape.
- Thoughtful Staging: To give the home a warm, inviting feel, we staged select rooms so buyers could easily imagine themselves living there.
- Professional Photography and Videography: We brought in professional photographers to capture high-quality images and videos that highlighted the home’s best features.
By investing time into thoughtful preparation, we made sure the home would appeal to buyers right from the start.
Step 2: Launching a Powerful Marketing Campaign
After the home was ready, we executed a comprehensive marketing plan designed to generate excitement and attract serious buyers quickly. Our approach included:
- Social Media Exposure: We used targeted ads and eye-catching posts across multiple social media platforms, resulting in over 10,000 views in the first weekend alone.
- Engaging Content: From virtual tours to detailed descriptions, we crafted content that captured the home’s unique appeal, enticing buyers to visit in person.
- Strategic Targeting: By focusing on local buyers and those interested in similar properties, we ensured our marketing efforts reached those most likely to make a competitive offer.
This strategy paid off, with 40 potential buyers touring the property in the first weekend, creating an atmosphere ripe for multiple offers.
Step 3: Achieving Multiple Offers and an Above-List Sale
Thanks to careful preparation and a well-executed marketing campaign, we received multiple offers within days of listing the home. The competitive interest resulted in a sale price well above list, surpassing recent neighborhood sales—a fantastic outcome for the seller.
