Sold in 6 Days Above List Price: The Art of Potential
Take the case of this home that, despite its unimpressive curb appeal, became a real estate gem, getting $406,000—over $6,000 above asking price—and went under contract in just 6 days. At first glance, this property had some red flags: a drab curb appeal, a yard that needed cleaning up, and the neighbor’s homes that needed a little sprouting up. Yet, these challenges are where strategic real estate marketing and a skilled agent’s insight can shine.
Creating the Right Story

The eco-friendly solar panels added to the appeal, offering sustainability and savings on utilities in an older home.
