Eric, during our call, we talked about highlighting your property’s architectural allure—its Japanese teahouse aesthetic, grand skylights, and quiet retreat feel—while strictly honoring your cash flow and tenant lease. Here is a brief look at how Realogics Sotheby's International Realty produces world-class asset launches.

Custom Execution Roadmap

Your Personalized Selling Plan

Designed around Eric’s target outcome: full preservation of $2,800/mo cash flow, zero price discounting, and confidential positioning for investor buyers.

01

Turnkey Investor Positioning

We package 83 Shorecrest Ct not as a standard vacant home, but as an immediate cash-flowing asset returning $2,800/month backed by a reliable long-term tenant through April/May 2027.

Why it matters: Appeals directly to buy-and-hold investors who prioritize immediate yield over empty possession.
What we clarify: Verify precise lease terms and minor cosmetic kitchen touch-up scope during our call.
02

NWMLS First Look Pre-Marketing

We utilize NWMLS's official First Look status (up to 21 days pre-Active) alongside Sotheby's private investor network. This lets all NWMLS brokers see your property while keeping showings set to "No" until your tenant is comfortable.

Why it matters: Builds buyer anticipation with 0 Days Active accumulated, preserving full market momentum while protecting tenant privacy.
What we clarify: Decide whether First Look IDX syndication or broker-only distribution best fits your goals.
03

Firm Valuation Discipline

With zero financial urgency on your side, we hold firm within $597,400 – $679,800. We present the architectural design by Fred Groves and private 0.36-acre cedar lot as irreplaceable value.

Why it matters: Prevents lowball buyer offers and protects your equity threshold without compromise.
What we clarify: Finalize exact offer terms and closing window options that fit your broader timeline.
