This Cheviot Hills charmer didn’t just shine — it soared.
01 · The Situation
Where this started.
Cheviot Hills is competitive, but buyers here are discerning. Homes with character need to be showcased intentionally, not left to “sell themselves.”
This property had incredible bones — storybook charm, original details, and a coveted block — but it needed a curated approach to unlock its full market value.
02 · What Pardee Did
Three moves that shaped the launch.
Strategic Prep & Staging
What happenedWe 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.
High-Impact Marketing
What happenedWe 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
Pricing for Competition, Not Guesswork
What happenedList 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.
03 · The Result
10 offers. 8 days. $380K over list.
The market responded fast and with force:
- 10 offers
- 8 days on the market
- Sold for $2,875,000 (that’s $380K over the asking price, 115.23% of list price)
Buyers fell in love with the charm, and they competed because of the exposure.
04 · Why It Worked
Each piece set up the next.
-
A story-driven marketing strategy
-
Staging that honored the architecture
-
Accurate pricing
-
A neighborhood where Pardee’s presence and reputation carry weight
