Lake Carolina Home SOLD After Listing With Another Agent For 1 Year

How We Revived A Stale Listing And Attracted The Perfect Buyer

The Situation

35 Schooner Court sat on the market with another agent for more than a year and didn't sell. The sellers were frustrated. They needed a fresh approach to shake off the "stale" label and get things moving.

The Strategy

We had to re-introduce the home as a fresh opportunity. We saw that the previous marketing didn't fully capture the perks of living in Lake Carolina or the uniqueness of the private cul-de-sac-lot.

Visual Storytelling: We focused our imagery on the neighborhood, specifically the home's private spot in Lake Carolina. We also showcased the lifestyle through our video approach.

  • Aggressive Ad Spend: We didn't rely on organic reach. We ran targeted paid ads on social media and search engines to find the right buyers. We also targeted nearby areas with low luxury inventory.

  • Volume Strategy: Our goal was to flood the listing with traffic to wake up the algorithm.

The Result

The "fresh start" strategy paid off immediately. Our campaigns generated thousands of views.

  • Traffic: Showings increased from near-zero to consistent.

  • Outcome: We secured a solid contract for the sellers, proving that even in a slower winter market, the right marketing moves high-end real estate.
