A cedar-shake colonial on a corner lot that three families wanted badly. Sold in 8 days for $27,000 over the list price.
The house
The sellers raised three kids here and the house showed it in the best way: a kitchen used daily, a farmers porch that holds actual chairs, bedrooms with real dimensions. We staged almost nothing. Honest houses photograph well.
- Listed at $585,000, sold at $612,000
- 8 days on market, 31 showings, 6 offers
- Five of six offers over list
- Corner lot, farmers porch, 4 bedrooms
On the block
Bayview sits in the stretch of Massapequa where buyers from three towns overlap. We priced to the block, grouped the showings into one launch weekend, and let the overlap do its work.
Katie told us our house was worth less than another agent promised, then sold it for more than either of them said. In eight days.

How it sold
Another agent told these sellers to list at $625,000. I showed them why $585,000 was the honest number, and why the honest number starts the bidding instead of ending it. Six offers later it closed at $612,000 with no inspection drama.
