Luxury Waterfront Home Sold

Targeting the Wrong Buyers – Luxury Waterfront Property Before Kim and Dave:A luxury waterfront property had been listed with another agent for over six months. The previous agent had marketed the home only locally, without considering that buyers for a property of this scale were likely coming from other regions, or even internationally. The marketing didn’t reach the right demographic. Kim and Dave’s Solution:Kim and Dave identified that the property needed to be marketed as a luxury vacation home, targeting out-of-state and international buyers. They created a detailed marketing plan, including high-end photography, drone footage, and video tours that showcased the waterfront lifestyle. They placed the listing on international luxury home platforms and ran digital ads in high-end markets across the country. Result:Within 30 days, a buyer from New York visited the home, fell in love with it, and made an offer. The home closed shortly after, and the seller was finally able to move on after months of waiting.

How We Get Homes Sold

Get Your Home Sold with the K&D Luxury Team   A few months ago, we worked with a young couple eager to sell their home quickly due to a job relocation. Understanding their urgency, we implemented a proven 5-step strategy. First, we priced their home just below market value, creating immediate buyer interest. Next, we conducted a pre-listing inspection to ensure the home was in perfect condition. We also leveraged dynamic pricing, offering a slight reduction if needed, but it wasn't necessary. The aggressive marketing campaign, combined with offering seller incentives, led to multiple offers within 4 days. Their home went under contract quickly, and the sale closed in just 25 days—well within their desired timeframe. This showcases our ability to get homes sold fast and with minimal stress for the sellers when they follow our advice along with the plan we put together with them as a team! Recently, we worked with a couple who had just found their dream home. They needed to sell their current property quickly to avoid double mortgage payments. We immediately listed their home using our 5-step strategy: pricing it slightly below market value, conducting a pre-listing inspection, offering dynamic pricing, and implementing a robust marketing campaign. Within 5 days, we had multiple offers. The home went under contract, and we strategically scheduled the closing for the same day as their new home. They avoided any double payments, and everything aligned perfectly. This approach highlights our ability to manage complex transactions and protect our clients financially. We recently worked with a client whose home was over-improved by about $200,000 compared to others in the neighborhood. Every other agent told him it would be impossible to sell at his price. We stepped in with our 5-step strategy: pricing smartly, making targeted improvements, and aggressively marketing the property. Additionally, we hosted our exclusive Best Bidder Program, creating competition among buyers. After extensive negotiations, the home went under contract in just 6 days and closed within 3 weeks. We proved that with the right plan, no sale is impossible. This approach is part of our Exlusive Best Bidder Program We recently helped a couple going through a difficult divorce. Understanding the sensitive nature, we arranged for our trusted vendors to pack up the home. Each spouse came on separate days to tag their items, and we coordinated two separate moving trucks for storage. Afterward, we had the home freshly painted, staged, professionally cleaned, photographed, and filmed by our videographer. The result? Multiple offers poured in, and the home went under contract in 3 days, over asking. We coordinated separate closings and wired proceeds individually, making the process smooth and stress-free for both parties. They’ve since referred us multiple times! This approach was part of our Excusive Guaranteed Sale Program If you are considering selling your home and want expert advise, call Kim & Dave Donahue today.  They have programs to fit every need, budget and timing!  Their 5-Star Reviews speak for themselves: https://www.sarasotapropertymatch.com/reviews  Best way to contact them: (941) 724-2587 Call / Text or Schedule a time that works best for you: www.ConnectWithKimandDave.com today.
