How Niki Helped Elaine – and how she can help you too…

Investor ready to cash out on rental property (and overwhelmed with repairs and market prep)

Elaine’s rental property had become more of a financial burden than a source of income, and she was considering selling. Her most recent tenants’ lease expired, and they vacated the property just hours before Elaine’s husband unexpectedly passed away. Elaine was feeling completely overwhelmed. She knew she either needed to find another tenant or sell the property. But she also knew the property needed some maintenance and repairs before either of those things could happen. She had no idea what direction to take or where to start, but she knew she needed income – especially after losing her husband so suddenly.

Still grieving the loss of Her Husband, Elaine didn’t know where to start

After contacting Elaine about her rental property, she shared with us that her husband had passed. She was unsure of what direction to take (continue renting or sell) and was looking for guidance from a professional. We were honored to offer whatever help she needed and assured her that we could ‘take the reins’ in getting the property ready for market while she took time to grieve her loss.

After touring the property together, discussing her budget, and going over what improvements were the highest priority for the sale, we formulated a schedule and a final budget. Over the next 4 weeks, we coordinated the necessary repairs with contractors and vendors, inside and out. The property was now ready to sell for the highest possible price, and Elaine didn’t have to worry about a thing.

Armed with our knowledge of the current market and our recommended strategic listing price and marketing plan, Elaine decided to list the property for sale.

Within just 5 days of listing, due to strategic pricing and marketing, we received multiple offers on the property – some over the asking price. Niki presented all offers to Elaine and answered all questions or concerns. After some further negotiations to ensure no money was left on the table, Elaine accepted an all-cash offer and we moved on to inspections. Again, we were there to carry that burden for her so she didn’t have to worry about a thing – even when unexpected problems or delays popped up and further negotiations were necessary. We fully coordinated all showings, handled negotiations and communications with all parties, coordinated access to the property, and stayed on top of all contract deadlines until we reached the closing table and were officially sold.

We sold Elaine’s home in just 15 days on market for full list price – an incredible return on her investment!

“Niki was the most knowledgeable and utmost professional in EVERY aspect of selling my home.

She knew exactly what improvements I needed to do to get the highest price for my home. Niki was attentive to every single detail that I could not have covered on my own during negotiations and particularly with the closing. I have purchased and sold several homes and she is by far the best agent

in northeast Florida. She was there for every single showing, inspection, and repair. Her experience and knowledge are invaluable when handling not only potential buyers, but also title companies and inspections. Niki is the BEST.”
