From Beach Vibes to Builder Dreams: Selling a Unique Brentwood Property
SOLD: Navigating the Unique Journey of a Brentwood Property
Selling a home is never a one-size-fits-all process, and that was especially true for this one-of-a-kind Brentwood property. Situated on a rare 1-acre lot, the home had been lovingly maintained and beautifully decorated with a laid-back beach vibe. However, in a neighborhood where the average home is over 4,000 square feet, this 2,100-square-foot property represented a unique opportunity—primarily for buyers seeking a teardown or expansion project.
Understanding the Market Potential
Our clients, who had lived in the home for over 12 years, were no strangers to the real estate world. With a background in the title industry, they knew their property would likely attract builders or investors looking to capitalize on the lot’s potential. While it was bittersweet to think of the home being replaced, they were realistic about the market and trusted Gray Fox Realty to guide them through the process.
The First Contract and a Pivot in Strategy
Initially, we secured a contract with a builder—a promising start. Unfortunately, after 60 days tied up in negotiations, that deal fell through due to no fault of our sellers. This turn of events could have been disheartening, but our team saw it as an opportunity to refine our approach.
We revamped the listing to emphasize the value of the lot, adding drone footage to showcase its full potential and targeting our marketing toward builders and investors. With a clearer focus on the right audience, we quickly generated renewed interest.
Success After a Strategic Shift
In late November, we received multiple offers and secured a contract that worked for all parties. The buyer, a builder, plans to create a multi-million-dollar luxury home on the lot—an in-fill project that highlights the evolving landscape of Brentwood.
A Testament to Resilience and Results
Our sellers were understanding and patient throughout the process, recognizing that real estate transactions can come with unexpected twists and turns. At Gray Fox Realty, we’re committed to seeing every sale through to success, and this transaction was no exception.
We’re proud to have helped these savvy sellers close this chapter and move forward with confidence. Whether it’s a traditional sale or a unique situation like this one, Gray Fox Realty always delivers RESULTS.
