The photographs were ready. My work wasn’t finished.

At 2661 Doidge Avenue, I was working with a client I had represented before. We needed to organize the preparation and get the home in front of buyers. I coordinated moving services, deep cleaning, painting, staging and professional photography.

For this specific sale, I advanced preparation and marketing costs. I kept those tasks moving together so the home could be presented as a whole.

During escrow, the air conditioning needed attention. I coordinated that repair as another part of getting the sale through to closing. A finished set of photographs does not mean the work is over.

What I want a seller to feel is that the same person who helped organize the first steps is still there when a new question comes up.

I stayed in touch with agents after their visits. One buyer returned more than once and spent time getting familiar with the neighborhood before offering. That kind of follow-up matters: an inquiry, a second visit and an offer are different stages of interest.

The original advertised asking price was $849,999. It changed to $899,000 on April 17, 2025. The offer was accepted on May 1, and the property was reported pending on May 2.
