**Success Story: Selling the St. Jude Dream Home in Westhaven**

At Gray Fox Realty, every home sale has a unique story, and the recent sale of the previous St. Jude Dream Home in Westhaven is one we’re excited to share. This home has a special place in our hearts as our journey with it began about 13 years ago when we helped the winning family find a tenant. That tenant rented the home for many years, and when the time came to sell, the owners reconnected with us to make their next move.

**Preparing for Sale**

The property was in good condition but hadn’t been updated, so we worked closely with the sellers to ensure the home was ready for the market. We paired them with a trusted contractor who tackled all the necessary punch list items to get the home in move-in ready shape and clear any potential inspection hurdles. The goal was simple: make the property shine in its current state and appeal to buyers looking for a quality home with potential for personalization.

**Navigating Market Challenges**

The Westhaven market posed a few challenges, as many potential buyers were looking for updated homes or had high expectations for renovation costs. As a result, the home took a few months to find the right buyer. However, patience and persistence paid off. On one eventful day, we received interest from two separate families, giving the sellers a strong position during negotiations. This competition ultimately benefited the sellers, as we were able to navigate through inspections with ease and move forward confidently.

**Overcoming Final Hurdles**

The transaction was progressing smoothly until a small title issue arose during the loan underwriting process. Though this was through no fault of the buyer or the seller, it caused a slight delay. However, with teamwork and clear communication, we resolved the issue promptly, and the sale was finalized before the weekend, allowing everyone to relax and celebrate.

**The Results**

Gray Fox Realty successfully sold this Westhaven home for $1,299,000 with a listing fee of only $4,995. This not only provided significant savings for the sellers but also underscored our commitment to delivering top-notch service and value. Our team’s experience and dedication were crucial in navigating the unique challenges of this sale, and we’re thrilled to have helped the sellers move forward.

**A Smooth Transition for All**

The sellers were extremely satisfied with the outcome, and it was our pleasure to see them benefit from our flat-fee model while receiving full-service support. We also enjoyed working with our co-broke agent, Dena, who contributed to the smooth and collaborative process. Congratulations to the new homeowners, who now get to create their own memories in this wonderful home!
