New Listing – San Carlos – 7436 Stoneview Court, San Diego, CA 92119 (Updated)

One assumption that people often make is that I am confined to a particular neighborhood and that I don’t sell property outside of downtown. Last year, about 40% of the property I represented the buyer or seller on was actually outside of Downtown San Diego. I thought I would share this success story for a really great couple I helped transition from San Carlos to their new home in Little Italy.

The previous owners of 7436 Stoneview Court in San Carlos had owned their property for about 40 years. They raised all of their children and grandchildren in this home. It wasn’t JUST a house to them and they needed someone to understand that. We sat down and discussed everything that was important to them, from their neighborhood, to the pool, to the amazing sunsets that they have enjoyed for the last 40 years. I compiled a list and made sure that I knew exactly why they loved their home and I could showcase that in the marketing and showings.

Once we agreed the home should be priced from $630,000-$660,000, I immediately had their home professionally photographed, drone videos taken, and prepared their home to market. We lined up everything perfectly. I held all showings to our first Saturday open house (in November, the “slow” time of the year). We had approximately 80 groups attend the open house, 3 of which flew from another state specifically to see this home. It was a great success! Within 2 days, we received 8 offers, only one of which was below the list price! We went into negotiations with 3 buyers and the seller was thrilled with the final price of $705,500! The previous high for the neighborhood was only $635,000 and it was a completely remodeled property that investors owned.

With the extra money they were able to net from the sale of their home, we were able to get them into a great new home in Downtown San Diego! They couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience and they are excited to enjoy the next chapter of their lives in Little Italy!

The point of the story is that while I may not specialize in your neighborhood, I understand marketing and negotiation techniques. I would be happy to sit down and show you exactly how I did this and my strategy to get you top dollar for your home as well!
