Doing things the right way pays off — everywhere.

Our sellers turned over their keys, moved out, and trusted me and my colleague John Blacksmith to strategize and manage high return-on-investment updates to their Leavenworth home.

Our trusted contractors traveled from Seattle to execute our proven and organized listing-prep system affordably and efficiently. For this home, that included new paint, light fixtures, flooring, deck repair and re-staining, and transforming a formerly forgotten, rarely used room into a highly functional home office or hobbyist space. Cost: $35K

We also ordered a seller-provided home inspection in advance so we could get ahead of any needed repairs and instill confidence in potential buyers — an atypical approach for this region. Also unusual for this area: we staged the home.

Valuation prior to ROI updates: $925K-$950K
Valuation opinions from local brokers after updates: $975K-$1M
Typical days on market (DOM) for Leavenworth homes: 60-90 days

DOM for this home: 2 days
Final sales price: $1.1M

Needless to say, our clients were thrilled! If you have a home beyond Puget Sound that can benefit from our Seattle-style approach to delivering outstanding results for our sellers, we welcome the opportunity to connect for a no-obligation meeting to discuss our process and your options.

*** SAVVY SELLER WINS BIG! *** When my seller initially contacted me to list his investment property, he hadn't set foot on the property in years. He knew the home needed work but he didn't have the time or energy to take on projects. Since the house was tenant-occupied, my team and I communicated regularly with the tenant, Dana, who was incredibly helpful and deserves a shout-out. We executed small projects in collaboration with her as she prepped to move out.

My team and I coordinated a tight sequence of:
--Cleaning
--Cabinet painting
--Window replacements
--Handyman repairs
--Deck work
--Professional staging
--Photography

The home was ready for the market within two weeks of Dana moving out! Six days and 13 offers later -- and a sale price of $852,000 -- we broke the record for highest price per square foot of a one-bedroom home in North !

The best part: the seller never set foot on the property! My team requires only the client’s trust and a set of keys to get exceptional results.
