We ended up with three offers on our Gladstone listing, and a bidding war!

Bidding wars don’t just happen; somebody has to spur them on, coordinate them effectively, and keep the focus on winning and losing, and not the price.

The home had its foibles too.

It only has two bedrooms, the third ‘bedroom’ is unpermitted, the kitchen and bathrooms were gussied up but mostly original, and it backs to the full assortment of power lines.  The worst part was not having any recent comps that painted a solid picture on value, leaving it up to the buyers to get comfortable – I helped, and thankfully they had good agents too.

We are listed for $499,000, and I nudged two offers north of $530,000!

If you are thinking of selling, hire me!
