Selling from Afar
How We Helped Abhinov Sell His Home While Abroad
Selling a home is a big undertaking, but doing it from thousands of miles away? That takes trust, planning, and a real estate team that can handle the details seamlessly. That’s exactly what we did for Abhinov, who was preparing to leave the country while his home was being listed and sold.
A Plan for Success Before Takeoff
Knowing he wouldn’t be in town for the entire listing and closing process, we worked with Abhinov to create a solid game plan before his departure. First, we walked through the home together and outlined the key things that needed to be addressed before listing. Some minor updates—like swapping out a few light fixtures—would go a long way in making the home feel fresh and appealing to buyers.
We connected him with professional stagers who gave thoughtful recommendations on which furniture to keep to reduce his staging costs. We also arranged for a handyman to tackle outstanding repairs and install the new light fixtures, ensuring everything was show-ready before he left.
Keeping Everything on Track Across Time Zones
With a 10-hour time difference, communication was key. We made sure Abhinov stayed updated every step of the way, handling showings, marketing, and negotiations while he was overseas. The market strategy worked—we secured a strong offer just over a week after listing.
From coordinating vendors to navigating the escrow process, we kept everything running smoothly so he could focus on his travels without stress. Selling a home from afar isn’t always easy, but with a clear plan, the right team, and trust in the process, it can be done successfully.
We’re always grateful when clients trust us with their biggest asset, especially when they’re halfway around the world. If you’re thinking about selling but aren’t sure how to make it work from a distance, let’s chat—we’ve got you covered.
“Kim and Francisco made the entire process seamless for me! I didn’t even need to come back for the closing, as everything was handled remotely. They took care of everything, from arranging staging to handling minor repairs. Kim was always in touch, providing updates and patiently answering my many questions throughout the process. Kim’s background as a professional photographer proved invaluable. She provided great advice on how to make my home more marketable and appealing to buyers. When I saw the promotional photos, the house looked amazing—like something straight out of HGTV! Despite the challenging 2024 market, the excellent presentation and marketing materials gave me confidence that it would sell quickly—and it did! The pricing process was a collaborative effort. Kim was transparent about the challenges of the late 2024 market and didn’t try to set unrealistic expectations. We had a thoughtful discussion about the right price. I believe that the house sold quickly because it was priced well, presented beautifully, and had a solid marketing strategy. Through this experience, I’ve learned that successful home sales rely on three key factors: presentation, marketing, and pricing. Kim and Francisco excel in all these areas. Beyond that, they are simply wonderful people who act as trusted agents with your best interests in mind. They handle all the necessary tasks and then some, taking care of the little things on your behalf. For all these reasons, I had an outstanding experience with Kim and Francisco, and I wholeheartedly recommend them for your real estate needs!”
