Rosewood Ave — Strategic Prep and Transparent Disclosures Drive an All-Cash Close
01 · The Situation
Where this started.
A initial fallback in escrow doesn’t mean a listing has lost its value—it means it needs a sharper strategy. At 3628 Rosewood Ave, our seller originally tested the off-market waters on TAN (Top Agent Network) and entered escrow at $2.2M, but the transaction fell through while the home was un-prepped and occupied. Knowing the true potential of the Mar Vista property, Pardee Properties stepped in once the client moved out, executing targeted prep, painting, landscaping, and professional staging. When we hit the public market, our transparent upfront disclosure strategy and disciplined offer deadline generated multiple offers, ultimately landing an all-cash, fast-close buyer.
02 · The Challenge
What made it complicated.
The journey at Rosewood Ave presented two distinct hurdles. First, the property spent its off-market phase occupied and un-staged, yielding an offer structure that left the seller hesitant and an eventual deal fallback. Second, when bringing a home to the public market after a private deal collapses, incoming buyers are naturally skeptical.
The team needed to completely refresh the home’s visual presentation while proactively handling previous inspection reports to prevent buyer hesitation from stalling a public launch.
03 · What Pardee Did
Pardee Properties took control of the listing's narrative through a two-step reset:
-
Full Pardee Prep: Once the home was vacant, our team executed strategic interior/exterior painting, elevated lush landscaping, and professional staging to transform the home into a turnkey, modern retreat.
-
Upfront Transparency & Strategic Pricing: We listed the home on the open market at $1,995,000, set a firm offer deadline to create competitive urgency, and proactively disclosed all previous inspection reports upfront.
By eliminating inspection surprises before offers came in, we negotiated a seller multiple counter that successfully yielded a rock-solid, all-cash offer with a short closing timeline.
04 · The Result
The public launch created immediate momentum, capturing multiple offers within days.
Through targeted negotiation, the seller accepted a premium, all-cash offer with a quick close, wrapping up escrow in just 20 days on market at a finalized sale price of $1,900,000.
