How your neighbor’s home sold for $75,000 over list price and what it means for you

A behind-the-scenes look at the strategy, preparation, and expert negotiation that turned a Burlington listing into a standout sale.

10 Lee Ave, Burlington, MA · Closed June 15, 2026

STEP 1

It started with a conversation

Like many of my clients, the sellers at 10 Lee Ave weren’t just moving homes, they were making a major life transition. They were relocating out of state and had one clear priority: maximize the value of the home they’d worked so hard to build equity in.

Before anything else, we sat down together to map out their goals, establish a realistic timeline, and take an honest look at the current Burlington market. That first meeting isn’t just administrative, it’s where the strategy begins.

STEP 2

Preparing the home to shine

Great results don’t happen by accident. Once I understood what my clients needed, we got to work. I conducted a detailed walkthrough to identify the highest impact improvements. Things like decluttering, targeted minor repairs, and refreshing key spaces that buyers notice first.

From there, I brought in my professional staging consultant to thoughtfully highlight the home’s best features and create the kind of warm, inviting atmosphere that makes buyers feel at home the moment they walk in. Once staging was complete, I coordinated professional photography and high-quality video to ensure the home made a powerful first impression online, because that’s where today’s buyers start their search.

“The way a home is presented online determines how many people walk through the door. We spare no effort here because presentation is the first negotiation.”

STEP 3

A launch built for buzz

Timing and marketing are everything. We didn’t just “list” the home, we “launched” it. Three key tactics drove the result:

STEP 4

Negotiation as a competitive advantage

Generating multiple offers is only half the battle. What you do with them is where a skilled agent truly earns their value.

As both an SRS (Seller Representative Specialist) and RENE (Real Estate Negotiation Expert), I bring two nationally recognized designations specifically focused on seller advocacy and advanced negotiation strategy.

Together, these credentials shaped every decision in this transaction. I strategically implemented an offer deadline to sustain competition among buyers, then methodically worked through the strongest offers on both price and terms.

THE RESULT

Closed on time, $75,000 above asking

On June 15, 2026, 10 Lee Ave closed for $874,000. That was $75,000 over list price, on exactly the timeline my clients needed for their move. It wasn’t luck. It was a repeatable process built around preparation, strategic marketing, and disciplined negotiation.

This is what I do for every client, in every market.
