🏡 Listed, Sold, and Closed in 21 Days: How We Made It Happen at 7922 Greenbury Dr, Greenbelt MD  20770

In a market where homes can sit for weeks (or months), this one was different — and it wasn’t luck. It was preparation, strategy, and clear communication that made all the difference.

I had the pleasure of helping my sellers close on their home in just 21 days, and it went under contract within 5 days of listing. Here’s how we did it — and how you can too.

📍 The Property: A Beloved Family Home with History

This wasn’t just another house. It had only two owners — the seller’s father, and then her. It had been in their family for 34 years, and she and her family had lived there for the last 11. This home carried decades of memories, and my job was to help them honor that while also getting them to the next chapter as smoothly as possible.

💡 Strategy First: Why We Got a Pre-Listing Appraisal

There weren’t many recent comps in the neighborhood — a common challenge in areas where homeowners stay put for years. I didn’t want to play guessing games with the price, so I brought in a professional appraiser before listing.

The result?
✅ We priced the home exactly at appraised value.
✅ We showed buyers we were serious and fair.
✅ We avoided lowball offers or drawn-out negotiations.

⏱️ Fast Timeline, Smart Adjustments

With my seller on a tight moving timeline and the home already in great shape (recent roof, hot water heater, HVAC, and electrical updates), we made a strategic decision: offer credits in lieu of repairs.

From day one, I set clear expectations with the buyer’s agent that we weren’t doing physical repairs — we’d offer a credit to make the deal work and honor the quick closing. It worked beautifully.

🤝 A Smooth Sale with Great Agent Collaboration

Shout out to the buyer’s agent — she was phenomenal to work with. Communication was smooth, we worked as a team to get through inspection and negotiation with no surprises or drama, and our clients were thrilled on both sides.

💌 The Seller’s Final Touch

To top it all off, my sellers left a handwritten card for the buyers sharing the history of the home and their family’s time there. It was a simple, heartfelt gesture — and a reminder that selling a home isn’t just business. It’s personal.

Even more meaningful — this wasn’t just any client. This was one of my dear sandbox friends and her husband. What an honor it was to represent them in such a special transition. That kind of trust means everything to me.

🎯 If You’re Thinking About Selling…

Don’t leave it to chance. Whether your home has been in the family for decades or you’re ready to move fast, strategy matters — and so does having someone who can guide you through it all with honesty and care.
