At Pearlman Meekin & Co., every sale starts with a strategy tailored to our client’s goals and this one was no exception.
The owners of 10902 Bells Ridge Drive were preparing to move into a new build, but their timelines didn’t quite align. They needed a flexible settlement date, minimal stress, and ideally, a strong sales price. With their new home still nearly 10 months from completion, we turned to Compass Private Exclusive to strategically position the home at an aspirational price. This allowed us to quietly generate interest and maintain control over the timing without opening the floodgates to 40-plus showings or the pressure of a full-scale public launch. By taking a thoughtful, targeted approach, we protected our clients’ time and privacy while still maximizing results.
While listed in private exclusive status the home sold for a record breaking price of $1,875,000, nearly $200,000 more than the next highest sale in the neighborhood.
The terms? Even better.
The home went under contract in early February with an extended settlement four months out and one month of post-settlement occupancy rent-free. This gave our client ample time to transition into their new home without the pressure of a rushed move or the stress of back-to-back transactions.
We have had the privilege of working with this family on four separate real estate transactions, including the purchase of their new build, and this one was a perfect example of how experience, relationships, and strategy combine to get the job done.
