Property highlights
What made this home stand out.
- 4 bed / 3.5 bath, 3,420 sq ft on a fully landscaped 0.32-acre lot
- Discovery Elementary, Kopachuck Middle, Gig Harbor High
- Three-car garage with EV charging and finished bonus room

The challenge
What the sellers needed
The home was beautiful but competing against new construction nearby. The family also needed a flexible closing date that lined up with their next-home progress.
The approach
How we marketed
- Pre-listing prep: light staging upgrades, professional declutter, exterior touch-ups
- Drone + dusk photography highlighting the lot and tree line
- Floor plan and matterport tour for relocation buyers shopping remotely
- Negotiated a 45-day closing with a 14-day rent-back at no cost
- Weekly written seller update so the family always knew where things stood
The outcome
How it closed
Closed in 11 days at $20K above list, with a clean appraisal and a rent-back the family used to finish their next home without renting an interim place.
"We got our list price, kept our rhythm with the kids, and never had to move twice. That last part alone was worth working with Anita."
