I’m incredibly proud to share that one of my recent listings was featured in a NJ.com article, highlighting the extraordinary interest in the sale of this multi-family property in Garfield, New Jersey.
35 Offers. 150 Showings. Sold for $126,000 Over Asking.
This wasn’t luck. It was strategy, preparation, and a commitment to going beyond what most agents do. The home, which originally hit the market for $649,000, ended up selling for $775,000—that’s nearly 20% above asking price.
Here’s what really stands out: Our property sold for nearly the same price as another multi-family in town that had both a two car garage and a finished basement—features we didn’t have. That’s the power of strategic pricing, expert marketing, and strong negotiation. This is exactly how I help sellers walk away with more money, even when the home isn’t the “best” on paper.
The story caught the attention of NJ.com because it speaks to more than just a hot market. It reflects what happens when you combine smart pricing, strong marketing, and the right presentation to the modern buying market.
What Made This Sale Stand Out?
-
Proactive Pre-Launch Strategy: We prepared the property to shine by using professional photo's that I hand picked for public display.
-
Massive Buyer Interest: Over 150 showings in just a week.
-
Strategic Positioning: I don't just list a property, I tell its story and sell it's potential to each and every interested party.
-
Seller Results That Speak Volumes: Multiple offers lead to huge leverage for me to negotiate the final offer price of $126,000 over asking.
This sale is a great example of how I help sellers not just sell their homes but position them in a way to net the most amount possible.
My client on this property told me I was like his personal concierge service, as I provided access to the home for his contractors and he gave me full authority to update parts of the home where I saw it would give him the most return on investment.
If you’re thinking about selling and want to discuss how to get the most for your home, let’s connect. I’m happy to share insights, market trends, and a custom strategy that fits your goals.
