Manhattan Village Turnkey Single Level

10 Offers on a “Flawed” Floorplan. When Others Said $2.7M, We Closed at $3.8M

Living room and office with a wood-plank ceiling, sofa, desk, and sliding doors to a balcony.

Challenge

Unconventional floorplan designed by a Seattle-based architect with only 3 bedrooms when buyers expect at least 4 bedrooms on this size lot. Multiple agents told me the home must list for under $2,700,000 to account for the lived-in condition and floorplan shortfalls.

Kitchen with white shaker cabinets, black countertops, patterned tile behind the range, and warm hardwood floors.

Strategy

Convince my clients who didn’t want to move out or do any work to update certain aspects of the home to make turnkey with stylish design features, including removing their furnishings and paying for staging.

Courtyard patio with a lit fireplace, woven chairs, and potted plants.

Result

We received 10 offers. Sold in 6 days for $530,000 (16%+) over list price, closing for $3,825,000.
