Thanks to our prep work and robust marketing, this luxury home in Queen Anne went pending in just 3 days and sold for $2,450,000. This was over the asking price, and we are thrilled for our Diva Dweller sellers Christine and Steve! Plus, we absolutely loved working with them! They really “get” Team Diva and our process, and they respect and trust our knowledge, expertise, and advice. They were willing to do what needed to be done to make sure this home looked stunning. And it did!
Here’s what happened behind the scenes:
Behind the Scenes of Selling a Luxury Home in Queen Anne
Why Our Clients Wanted to Sell Their Home
Our seller clients Christine and Steve found us online and really wanted to work with us because of our marketing prowess. I originally met with Christine and Steve before Thanksgiving in 2024. They wanted to sell their stunning Queen Anne Craftsman because they fell in love with a new home in Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. I encouraged them to not rush the process, and wait to sell their home until January of 2025. I wanted the timing to be perfect!
Plenty of Time to Prepare This Luxury Home in Queen Anne
This modern home was impeccably maintained. Steve and Christine bought it new in 2012 and really, it felt barely lived in. For the size of the home, we really didn’t have to do much prep, but we did do some detailed work. We touched up painting, and we had carpets completely replaced. We had all of the decks and patios power washed, the yard got a refresh, and garden pots were replanted with colorful plants hardy enough to survive the snow and cold. And then, of course, we had the home beautifully staged by one of our top stagers, Von Rocko Homes.
A Smooth & Successful Selling Process
The timing on this stunning modern home was just right. As soon as the home was listed, we released a ton of marketing. We had many calls from agents with out-of-town buyers. We had open houses and a fabulous VIP party open house planned, but we never even made it to the open houses because the home sold in a flash!
After 5 showings, we got one stellar early offer on day 3 and the sellers took it. The offer was signed on day 4. It was over asking with zero contingencies, and had a 3-week closing. The buyers did a pre-inspection and there was one minor fireplace fix we sorted out. But pretty much a short easy closing. All wins in my book, and our clients were super happy!
Congratulations to Our Diva Dwellers on Selling Their Luxury Queen Anne Home!
We LOVE Christine and Steve. They really “get” Team Diva and our process, and they respect and trust our knowledge, expertise, and advice. They were willing to do what needed to be done to make sure this home looked stunning. And it did! I absolutely loved marketing this home and honestly, I wish I had been able to do a party or an Open House just to show it off to folks. Everything about this listing was joyful!
