WHEN IT WORKS
All You Need is Trust
When Carole Smith took over the listing at 1780 Española Drive in Coconut Grove, the property had been listed for a year with another agent. The sellers had moved out of Miami and left their personal furniture – which wasn’t particularly in vogue – as the home’s staging decor. Discouraged, the owners reached out to Carole and asked her to make recommendations on improving the home’s appeal. Her first idea was bold, but the owners trusted her instincts: Remove all of their dated Midwestern furniture and have it professionally staged. Next, Carole had teams come in to paint, make minor repairs, replace bulbs, freshen up the landscaping and give the home a professional cleaning. All of these improvements were paid for with a zero-percent Compass Concierge loan, and the house sold in record time.
The house sold in record time.
After the closing, she received a glowing testimonial from her very happy sellers:
“Working with us long-distance, Carole put together a very strong social media marketing campaign, fabulous home staging and photographs, attracted significant traffic of potential buyers to Open Houses, and helped with a myriad of tasks that normally we would have done if we still lived locally. What a difference! “At all times, Carole not only kept us apprised but offered solutions, not excuses, whenever we faced an issue and in negotiating the final sale. It was an absolute pleasure to be helped by such a nice, consummate professional who works hard to attract the right buyer and close the deal. We have purchased and sold numerous homes throughout the country. While many real estate agents primarily serve as neutral entities, Carole was an integral and invaluable part of the selling process. [She] has her finger on the pulse of the current marketplace [and] acted solely on our behalf.”
