Case Study: Hyper-Targeted Listing Campaign Attracted 6 Offers Over Premiere Weekend

Paradise Valley
Listed at $2,100,000
Closed at $2,175,000

Located in the exclusive Country Club Acres neighborhood in Paradise Valley, this gorgeous home was constructed back in 1971. Although the owners completed a structural renovation in 2006, the property required interior updates and repairs for leaks, etc. The Kelli Grant Team toured the property and completed a market assessment based on our Paradise Valley experience and expertise. After identifying the ideal buyer persona, we created and executed a targeted pre-listing marketing campaign.

Results:
In a slow market in which properties were averaging months on the market, we received six offers
during opening weekend. The property successfully closed above the asking price at $2,175,000.

Case Study: Staging & Renovation Recommendations Led to a Successful Sale

Scottsdale
Originally Listed at $1,625,000
Sold at $1,700,000

Located in the prestigious 85255 zip code of Scottsdale, this impressive property was originally listed at $1,625,000. The owners were living in their primary home on the east coast and, at first, were not looking to invest in the painting and staging we recommended. After several open houses and comprehensive marketing, the property was removed from the market after four months.

Results:
Given the initial learnings, the owners proceeded with our recommended painting and staging updates. As a result, the property was re-listed and successfully sold for $1,700,000.

Case Study: Cost-Efficient Renovation Recommendations Increased the Sale Price By $100,000

Phoenix
Nestled in the Sonoran Foothills gated community, this unique property is a rare TW Lewis semi-custom basement home, but did not sell immediately as hoped. After a comprehensive analysis, our team recommended kitchen and master bath updates with minimum budget required.

Results:
With our cost-efficient recommendations, the owner was able to maximize the impact of the $40,000 in renovations. The home sold for $100,000 more — paying for the renovations while also increasing the profit margin

Case Study: Remote Home Owners Benefited From Our Concierge Service & Expertise

Scottsdale
Listed at $1,800,000
Closed at $2,100,000

This Scottsdale Mountain property was a second-home to a Canadian couple unable to return to Arizona. We managed the entire process inside and outside the transaction — from getting their personal belongings packed up to scheduling contractors and staging the furniture. With consideration of the homeowners’ desired short timeline and after extensive research, we strategically priced and launched an aggressive pre-listing marketing campaign.

Results:
The surrounding community had multiple homes on the market for three months or more, and yet, these homeowners were hoping for a much faster timeline. Our infamous launch event attracted over 100 visitors, resulting in multiple offers out the gate. It sold for over the asking price during the opening weekend!

Case Study: Identified Buyers & Completed Sale Without Going to Market

Phoenix
When we initially met with these Phoenix-area sellers, they were exploring a sale but not yet ready to move. We met sporadically over the next five years, providing guidance around renovations aimed at increasing their return. When they were ready to sell, they expressed their disinterest in holding showings and open houses. They preferred to set and accept a fair and attractive price. We reached out to our networks and database to identify buyers who would fit the ideal buyer profile.

Results:
We identified a buyer relocating their family to Arizona from Colorado. The sellers had raised a family in the home, and were delighted by the prospect of another family moving in. Our buyer client purchased the home at the seller’s desired price before it even hit the market. Best yet, the buyers and sellers remain friends to this day. How about that for a happily ever after?

Case Study: Successfully Marketed & Maximized Exposure for a Home with Restrictive HOA Rules

Superstition Mountain Golf Club
Due to the location inside a country club community, this listing required an atypical marketing strategy. The HOA restrictions included strict guidance around signage, showings, broker open houses, and open houses, causing limited opportunity for exposure for this property and others for sale in the community. In response, we launched an aggressive online marketing campaign including online ads and direct outreach.

Results:
Through targeted marketing messaging, we were able to find a buyer who was perfect for this property. It would serve as one of many part-time homes throughout the country for the buyer. They were thrilled with the unique floor-plan, the impeccable views, the club amenities, and the vicinity to their kids and grandkids. We closed this sale at asking price, while representing both the happy buyer and seller!
