Reimagining the Home Without Displacing the Family
Here’s what made this sale even harder—and even more meaningful.
The sellers were a wonderful family with three young kids and a large dog. The idea of moving out again after the last failed listing felt overwhelming. And we understood. So instead of demanding a full move-out, we asked: how do we get maximum results with minimal disruption?
Because we own our own staging company, we were able to do what most stagers wouldn’t touch—partial staging in a fully lived-in home. With our team’s design support, we decluttered, brought in wall art, small furniture pieces, and soft accessories, and elevated the home’s look without flipping the family’s world upside down.
100% Personalized Coordination—No Outsourcing
Behind the scenes, every showing was coordinated by me, personally. No assistant, no scheduler. Why? Because every showing is the beginning of the sale. From the first text to the moment the door opens, it’s about reading the buyer, adjusting the message, and beginning the storytelling that bridges emotion with facts.
This isn’t just selling—it’s matchmaking.
Storytelling That Drives Demand
We leaned into what made the home special and sophisticated.
We showcased the imported Italian kitchen with a viral social media video—opening pocket doors, revealing hidden plug-ins, demonstrating the thoughtful touches that buyers wouldn’t notice in photos. The post drew huge interest, even from curious neighbors who just wanted to see the design in person.
We used our architectural background to walk every buyer through what most agents wouldn’t even know how to say—where a garage could be added, how an upstairs ADU might work, what the construction path and cost could look like. And in an uncertain market, that kind of clarity builds confidence—and confidence drives offers.
Result: $620,000 Over Asking
We listed at $3.99M. Two buyers became obsessed. They went head-to-head in a frenzy of bidding—and the home sold for $620,000 over asking.
The seller’s own words, “Any other realtors, this house would never have sold at this price it sold at.”
We’re fearless when it comes to hard homes. We don’t shy away from freeway noise, tough layouts, or buyer objections. We confront them head-on with data, design, and full-scope storytelling.
If you’re looking for a team that can turn your home’s challenge into its greatest strength—just say Wen!
