Our Strategy
1. Strategic Prep & Staging
We leaned into the home’s strengths: leaded glass, warm wood floors, architectural details, and abundant natural light.
Staging emphasized warmth and scale, helping buyers imagine life inside a true Cheviot Hills classic.
2. High-Impact Marketing
We launched a campaign built for momentum, not noise:
-
Professional photography showcasing the home’s storybook style
-
Targeted digital outreach to qualified Westside buyers
-
Agent-to-agent networking leveraging our #1 Westside team presence
-
A compelling narrative that highlighted walkability, schools, and the home’s architectural charm
3. Pricing for Competition, Not Guesswork
List price: $2,495,000
This wasn’t a placeholder — it was a deliberate strategy to position the home where demand would build organically without leaving money on the table.
