SELLER’S STORY
When Cam and Kate listed their home, they knew it wouldn’t appeal to every buyer—mainly because it was located on an unpaved road. They needed someone who would appreciate privacy, charm, and character over the accessibility that a paved road would offer. Fortunately, the home had much to offer. It was just over ten years old, in an excellent condition, with updated interiors, fresh neutral paint, and like-new carpet. In addition, the mature trees and well-established lawn outside created a warm and inviting atmosphere. One potential buyer, drawn to these features, also viewed a similar home just a few miles down the road. That property offered similar interior and exterior design features, along with appealing extras like tall trees, a koi pond, and a patio. On paper, the two homes were nearly identical—but the key difference was location. The other home sat on a busy street, while Cam and Kate’s property provided a calm, retreat-like atmosphere, which ultimately tipped the scales. So what made the difference? What unique 20% of the home truly caught the buyer’s eye? It was the property’s secluded, country feel, set on 1.8 acres and surrounded by open pastures, with grand oak trees dotting the landscape. The home offered a peaceful retreat, combining a sense of freedom with a deep connection to nature—qualities that ultimately won this particular buyer over.
AGAIN, LOCATION MATTERS
