Passing along that unicorn magic…
Remember that cute family from my post back in April? The one that found their “unicorn property” in record time, and with unheard of ease? Well, they’re back, but this time on the listing side, passing their unicorn magic on to another lucky family.
Before Janelle and Gerry moved into their new home, they were the stewards of a mid-century home on an incredibly landscaped half acre in SW Portland. The house, set up for multigenerational living, paired with the jaw-dropping yard, proved to be just what many buyers had been waiting for. It’s the kind of property that rarely comes to market—a unicorn.
In just five days on the market, this home had 43 individual showings and close to 100 people through the open house—my phone rang constantly (even after the home went pending!) with folks who were so excited to take a tour.
Pre-listing, Janelle and Gerry did an amazing amount of work to make this home shine to its fullest potential. They also really trusted in my expertise— listening to all of my advice about price, listing preparation, staging, and marketing. Our team work really did make the dream work! Gerry and Janelle garnered multiple fantastic offers and were able to close at 15% over list price in just 16 days.
Congratulations Janelle, Gerry, and Charlie! I could not be happier for you!
