6039 Piedmont Ave — Unlocking $109K+ Over Asking in Just 7 Days in Highland Park
01 · The Situation
Where this started.
At 6039 Piedmont Ave, Patrick Belton, Margie Arbizo, and Pardee Properties positioned a rare Highland Park compound for a standout launch: a historic duplex with two tenant-occupied units plus a detached vacant bungalow on a corner lot. The team coordinated pre-market planning, marketing strategy, vendor bids, repairs, updates, and staging to help the property show as both an income opportunity and an owner-user play. The result was three competitive offers, two backup positions, and a $1,308,180 closing price, which was $109,180 over asking after 7 days on market.
