Property highlights
What made this home stand out.
- 180' of low-bank waterfront with deep-water moorage rights
- 5,800 sq ft contemporary with western Olympic Mountain views
- Detached guest house, three-car garage, and gated motor court
- Mature gardens and direct beach access
The challenge
What the sellers needed
The sellers wanted absolute discretion. No yard sign, no MLS, no public open houses, and no curious neighbors walking through. They also expected full retail value.
The approach
How we marketed
- Confidential marketing package distributed to a curated network of luxury agents
- Private cinematic tour video shared by NDA-gated link
- Hand-selected showings to pre-qualified buyers only, by appointment
- Direct outreach to a short list of known waterfront seekers
- Negotiation handled discreetly through counsel where the buyer requested
The outcome
How it closed
Closed at $3.85M in three weeks of quiet marketing, never hitting the MLS. The sellers' identity remained private and the property never had a public listing history.
