Marie beats Goliath: Selling a small home amidst giants<\/i><\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Marie Dupres understands that selling well is a well-planned art.  She took a Memorial listing, which had  previously sat on the market for months, and sold it in just 6 days<\/b>. <\/b><\/div>\n

What challenges did you face prior to listing? <\/b><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

The square footage<\/b> of the home was quite a bit smaller than the neighboring <\/i><\/font>houses, <\/i><\/font>so <\/font>I <\/font><\/b>was worried that it <\/font>wouldn’t appeal to a wide audience<\/font>.<\/font><\/b><\/i><\/font><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n
 <\/b>
<\/font><\/p>\n
How did you decide on the initial list price?<\/font><\/b><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I looked at recently sold homes, homes currently on the market, analyzed days on  <\/i><\/font>market, <\/font>and <\/font>why the home didn’t sell when it was previously listed by another <\/font><\/b><\/i>agent<\/font><\/b>. <\/font>Then I <\/span>crunched <\/span>some numbers!<\/span><\/i><\/font><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/font><\/div>\n
Did you target a specific buyer demographic when promoting?<\/b> 
<\/font><\/div>\n


<\/font><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
Yes: empty nesters, retirees, and young professionals. <\/font><\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
PS: It was bought by an empty nester.<\/font><\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How did you promote the home?<\/b>
