How we sold Caulfield

This didn't happen by accident.

Every home gets put on the MLS and Zillow. That's the default. Here's what we did on top of it, and why our sellers walked away with $106,000 more than their asking price.

STEP 01

Staged, photographed and priced with a plan

We staged the home and had it professionally photographed so it looked its best online and in person. Then we set a pricing strategy built to bring buyers through the door and create competition.

$949,000Asking price, set to spark demand
STEP 02

Opened the doors to the neighborhood

One weekend of open houses, Saturday and Sunday, with a complimentary custom espresso coffee cart on Saturday. We made it an event, and buyers showed up.

STEP 03 · THE DIFFERENCE

We built our own marketing campaign

We don't list a home and let Zillow do the work. For Caulfield, we produced a custom property video and ran our own social ads, putting the home in front of local buyers who weren't scrolling Zillow that day.

STEP 04

Turned demand into leverage

With that much interest, our sellers weren't stuck with one buyer's terms. We helped them compare five offers side by side, looking past the price to terms, financing strength, and who was most likely to close.

STEP 05

Protected them all the way to closing

Throughout escrow, we stay involved, communicate consistently and work to protect our sellers' time, goals and bottom line. That hands-on representation kept this sale on track through closing, and that steady guidance matters when unexpected questions or important decisions come up.

Live near Caulfield?

Your neighbor's sale just changed what your home might be worth.

A sale like this resets the comparables for the whole neighborhood. But the market didn't hand our sellers that extra $106,000. The decisions they made before listing did. Most sellers who leave money on the table do it because they:

  • Price too high, then end up chasing the market down
  • Fix the wrong things before listing
  • Don't understand how offers and negotiations really work
  • Hire the wrong team
  • Make critical decisions before the home ever hits the market

What our sellers say

Don't just take our word for it.

★★★★★
"I met with her and a few other agents and it was obvious that she was a level above."

In short, I had to sell my mom's townhome after remodeling the kitchen and doing a few other fixes. I do not live in the area but Christine went above and beyond in literally taking care of every detail with respect to the kitchen renovation and sale. She was always available for a call and completely trustworthy and knowledgeable. I would have no reservations at all in highly endorsing Christine and her firm.

Michael P. · Seller
★★★★★
"After interviewing her, we immediately decided to go with her."

Christine has been nothing but incredible throughout the process of selling our house. When we were searching for agents, she literally stands out on every aspect that we were expecting. She genuinely and truly cares about you being comfortable with your decisions and all steps you take in the process. She was responsive, detail oriented, kind, and patient with our numerous questions. In sum, it was all the small and BIG things Christine did that made working with her an outstanding experience.

Murugan N. · Seller
★★★★★
"They love what they do and it shows."

Christine and the crew has worked tireless for my family. They sold our old property and negotiated a $15k+ below asking value in our now dream home. Did I mention I was 7 months prego too. So if a reliable, experienced, neutral party that gets the job done WELL is what you're looking for (as you should) then trust this team. Love also the extra special touches like coffee bar, paleta man... you'll see what I mean when you get there.
