Selling a one-year-old 4-plex in Port Moody was no ordinary transaction—it was an adventure in strategy, persistence, and creativity. The property had three rented units and one vacant unit, and the initial plan seemed straightforward: sell the vacant unit first, then list two of the rented ones, and keep one for the seller’s son.
But as the market slowed and unique features like open-concept master bathrooms (yes, really!) created hesitation among buyers, things got tricky. We tried everything—adjusting the price, raising it into a different bracket, staging the vacant unit, and even switching which unit was listed. Despite our efforts, the bites just weren’t coming.
That’s when I pivoted. Instead of selling the townhomes individually, I listed the entire building as one package, pricing it higher than the total of all the units combined. Within seven days, we had a buyer. While the seller had to part with the whole building and forgo keeping one unit, the lift in price allowed them to purchase a property they loved—this time with a bathroom door!
This sale wasn’t just about closing a deal; it was about adapting, problem-solving, and working closely with my client to achieve their goal. It reminded me why I love what I do. If you’re looking for an agent who thinks outside the box, thrives on challenges, and goes the extra mile, give me a call—I’d love to help!
