Once upon a time, back in 2011, I saved a mid-century modern masterpiece from being demolished. Can you believe that?! A builder had plans to bulldoze this architectural beauty and replace it with a gaudy McMansion. The audacity!
Luckily, fate intervened. A kind neighbor—someone with a deep appreciation for design—told the seller to call Atlanta’s #1 Mid-Century Modern Realtor. That’s me, Vanessa Reilly, in case you’re new here. And the rest, as they say, is history.
The seller was on the verge of settling for a low-ball offer from the builder, but I knew this home deserved better. Even though the market wasn’t booming in 2011, I was able to attract multiple offers and help her sell for over $200K more than that slime-back builder was offering. Talk about a win!
The Lesson? Don’t Sell Yourself (or Your Home) Short.
Even if your home is in disrepair, needs a little TLC, or has been well-loved over the decades, that doesn’t mean you should settle for a quick, off-market sale. Selling off-market often means leaving money on the table. The more exposure your home gets, the more interest it attracts—and that means more offers and better terms for you.
