We are getting more calls recently from neighborhoods like Chartwell and Haynes Landing, in our Centennial High School local market asking for our help to get their home SOLD after their current listing has failed. Failing to set the right price and ensure the home is ready to list are common mistakes by the homeowners and/or the Listing Agent.
The consequence of missing the market when you first list your home typically results in a listing becoming stale that delivers a sub-par selling price, if it sells at all, and additional carrying cost for vacant homes. The best solution is to make sure you do not get into this situation to begin with and make sure your agent does a detailed onsite analysis of your home and properly compares it the recent homes that have sold and the current competition.
If for some reason your home does not sell and you have withdrawn your listing or it has expired, don’t throw in the towel. See below two recent success stories of how we helped our neighbors in Haynes Landing and Chartwell get their home SOLD after it failed the first time!
720 Old Knoll View | Chartwell | Alpharetta
$600,000 | SOLD | Under Contract in 3 Days!
When the owner of 720 Old Knoll View in Chartwell reached out to us he was frustrated and disappointed with the process of trying to sell his home and had just taken his home off the market with another Agent. One of our current clients that lives in Chartwell told him if he really wanted to sell his home to call Robin!
After the owner at 720 Old Knoll View agreed to work with us, we provided a detailed plan and price comparison of selling the property AS-IS vs. making some changes. Our detailed analysis showed him how to put more money in his pocket at closing and get his home sold quickly in a softer market.
Our plan included interior paint, new carpet, updating the kitchen, freshening up the landscaping, cleaning up the home, and properly staging it! The end result was multiple offers, UNDER CONTRACT in 3 days, a final selling price will of 98% after addressing some inspection items, and will be a top comp for Chartwell.
10535 Timberstone Rd | Haynes Landing | Alpharetta
$310,000 | JUST SOLD | 98% of List Price
An amazing couple in Haynes Landing had a similar experience as the Chartwell owner above– a home that was not properly prepared and they were looking for an Agent to guide them through the process as they had already relocated out of state.
This charming home has all the qualities for a young family ~ great schools, full neighborhood amenities (swim/tennis), huge backyard, and an attractive price point. Touching up the paint, replacing the carpet, cleaning up the home with professional cleaners and freshening up the landscaping allowed us to deliver once again and we closed just a couple of weeks ago.
Identifying areas to make a home shine, while keeping costs down through trusted vendors is just part of the value-add we provide our clients. Specializing in the Centennial High School local market has given us the tools and experience to be a true local market expert for our Buying and Selling clients!
