– Three not-so-fun price cuts
– Seller morale = basement level. They pulled the listing at $925,000
Then they called the BEST Atlanta Agent: Vanessa Reilly & DOMO Realty
The Plan
1. minimal cosmetic glow-up

Days on Market | 171 | 3
Offers | 0 | 6 + 1 backup
Sale Price | $925k | $932,750
“After 6 months of struggling to get traction on our 60s ranch, my partner and I called Vanessa. In two weeks with small, meaningful changes our house felt worlds different. Vanessa’s impact? Six offers in hand twenty-four hours after launch, a subsequent bidding war, and an accepted offer well above asking price. She was a breeze to work with. I could gush about her for hours! Five stars does not do this woman justice, she deserves much more.” -Sydney & Nick 1377 Oak Grove Dr.
FAQ: Selling Fast in Atlanta
Q: How much does staging cost?
A: Often less than your first price reduction. If your house is completely vacant and you need to rent furniture stating in a 2000-4000 sq. ft. house can cost $3000-$6000, depending on how many rooms you stage. If you need help using your furniture to stage it’s free!
Q: Will my house sell for less if I re-list it?
A: Not always. Sometimes the marketing just hasn’t gotten in front of the right buyer. We have sold multiple homes in bidding wars, after they were listing with another agent where the seller ended up selling for over list price.
Q: How long does it take to re-launch my home on the market after it’s expired?
A: Every situation is different. You want to make sure you first align yourself with the one of the Atlanta Agents and do your research on their sales record. It’s easy to research agents on places like Zillow and Homes.com. After you interview at least 2-3 agents, they will help you come up with a time frame to tackle any needed improvements before the marketing is created. Pictures and video take a couple days to shoot and from there you should be on the market again in 3-7 days. The most important thing is to make sure the second time around you are working with a TOP ATLANTA Agent who has a proven track record and a solid marking plan and knows how to create momentum and a marketing strategy.
