Sold in Just 2 Days- Another Historic Linwood Charmer by simonshingleton

I was contacted a couple of weeks ago from a seller who said she new who I was but I didn’t know her.  She had taken a new job out of state and moved a months back leaving her home to be sold.  Her parents and in-laws had done all the right things to put the package together it just wasn’t being marketed.  It turns out her house is next door to a house I sold in Linwood Place a couple of months back.  She went with the referral of a friend of a friend who listed the home at a discount rate commission.  After being on the market a couple of months, the agent agreed to get some professional pictures taken of the house.

After having numerous showings, a price reduction and no offers, these Seller’s were looking for some direction on what it would take to get their home sold.   She politely asked the agent to hold the house open since it was staged and they hadn’t had any offers.  The agent politely in not so many words said he wasn’t getting paid enough to do so and that is when she looked up my number and gave me a call.

Long story short, she asked for a release and asked it was willing to take on her listing.  Absolutely!  I knew this house should have already been sold!  Working with her mom, who bent over backwards to complete each item in the list I recommended adding some fresh flowers, rearranging the staged furniture, and planting a few more flowers in the back we were primed and ready for one of my professional photographers, Justin Voight, to work his magic on this charming house.

Within 48 hours I had an offer from one of the first buyers who toured it.  It was a really good feeling getting to take down my open house sign and put a SOLD sign in the yard.  I enjoyed the rest of the afternoon negotiating another contract for another listing.  For all of you who ask about the Oklahoma City Real Estate market, it is going well when you are priced right, staged to perfection and can present your house and such a polished way!

I tell every seller I talk to, the PHOTOS POSTED ONLINE and the marketing promoted throughout all the outlets I use IS THE FIRST SHOWING FOR ANY POTENTIAL BUYER!  If your photos don’t bring them in, nothing will.

I couldn’t be more pleased with our results, and my seller’s couldn’t either!



10900 Maple Grove, www.QuailCreekOKC.com Open Sunday 2:00 to 4:00 by simonshingleton

As a resident and newly elected board member to the Quail Creek Homeowners Association,  I couldn’t be more proud to help find the new owner for this home.  With sponsored events like the 4th of July Parade, Holiday Sleigh Rides and private neighborhood security Quail Creek is a great place to call home, and I think you’ll agree.  I can honestly say I love living in the area, the neighbors are friendly and represent a wide age range.  Kids still play in the streets and adults are out exercising or gardening.  It’s easy to feel the sense of community and pride here.  The board of the homeowners association work tirelessly as a team to keep up the top-notch reputation Quail Creek has earned over the years.  Recent projects include new entrances and landscaping throughout the addition.  You can find out more about the neighborhood and becoming a voluntary member of the association at www.QuailCreek.org

10900 Maple Grove is conveniently located on a corner lot off May & Hefner in South Quail withing walking distance to Quail Creek Park.  Open Sunday from 2:00 to 4:00.
