A Success Story in Westhaven: The Perfect Renovation and Sale
At Gray Fox Realty, we’re passionate about helping homeowners achieve their real estate goals while maximizing their savings. Recently, we had the pleasure of working with a family in the prestigious Westhaven neighborhood who perfectly exemplified what it means to turn a house into a dream home. This is the story of how they transformed their Victorian property and how Gray Fox Realty helped them successfully sell it—saving them thousands in the process.
The Dream Home Vision
Several years ago, our clients purchased a charming Victorian home in Westhaven with the intent of making it their forever home. They had a clear vision for the property and a deep desire to transform it into something truly special. Fortunately, they had the skills and determination to make that vision a reality.
Over the course of several years, they embarked on an extensive renovation project. Every detail was carefully planned and executed to perfection. From the German smear treatment on the exterior brick to the custom finishes inside, they left no stone unturned. Their efforts resulted in a home that not only met but exceeded their original vision—a property that combined historic charm with modern luxury.
A New Opportunity
As time passed, life circumstances changed, and our clients began to consider selling their beloved home. Initially, they contemplated selling the property themselves, driven by a belief that the traditional 6% commission was too high, especially after all the work they had put into the renovations. They wanted to save on costs while still getting the best possible price for their home.
That’s when they discovered Gray Fox Realty.
Gray Fox Realty: A Smarter Way to Sell
When our clients learned about our full-service, flat-fee model, they realized they could have the best of both worlds: professional real estate services at a fraction of the traditional cost. For just $4995, we offered them the full spectrum of marketing and sales support, ensuring their beautifully renovated home would reach the right buyers and fetch the best price.
The Results: A Quick and Profitable Sale
We were thrilled to bring their Westhaven home to market, confident that it would attract attention from discerning buyers. And we were right—the home was listed and sold in just 4 days, at nearly the full list price.
This wasn’t just a quick sale; it was a testament to the quality of the renovation. The home looked even better in person than it did in the marketing materials—a rare occurrence in real estate. The attention to detail, the blend of old-world charm and modern amenities, and the overall presentation of the property made it irresistible to buyers.
A Happy Ending
Our clients were overjoyed with the results. Not only did they sell their home quickly and for a great price, but they also saved significantly on real estate commissions. By choosing Gray Fox Realty, they were able to keep more of their hard-earned equity—a fitting reward for all the love and effort they had poured into their home.
At Gray Fox Realty, we believe that selling a home shouldn’t break the bank. We’re proud to offer a smarter, more cost-effective way to sell, without sacrificing quality or service.
