We just closed on the sale of this amazing historic Victorian home located at 2002 Jackson Ave. in Ogden. The property was listed May 9th for $264,900. Our clients had recently renovated the property with top of the line finishes. We wanted to test the market and see where buyer’s interest level was at a superior price point. We immediately had several showings and the promise of an offer. However, the offer never materialized. After a week, the sellers felt we were a bit too aggressive on our list […]

... Read MoreWe just closed on the sale of this cute vintage cottage in Ogden, Utah. The owner of this home had occupied it at one time but rented it out after being transferred out of state. Originally listed in November 2016 for $90,000, the plan was to sell the property with the tenant in place and have them vacate after the property went under contract. Supposedly, the tenants were on board with this plan. Unfortunately, the tenants changed their mind. Once we received an offer and placed the home under […]

... Read MoreI just closed on the sale of this unique and amazing Victorian home located at 2002 Jackson Ave. in Ogden, Utah. I originally listed this home for the owner in 2013 for $79,500. At that time, the real estate market was still in early recovery and the condition of the property prevented buyers from moving forward on purchasing and fixing up the home. The owner didn’t want the home to languish on the market and after several months of little interest, we pulled the listing. Recently, another agent took […]
... Read MoreI just closed on the sale of this listing in Syracuse. Located at 2049 W 1175 S, this property served as an income property for its owner for the past several years. We took over management of the home in 2014 and had kept it occupied nearly the entire time. Recently, however, the owner expressed an interest in selling so we took steps to make that happen. Our first issue with selling the property was that the tenants had a lease agreement through March of this year. If we sold […]
... Read MoreI just closed on the sale of this listing located at 2945 Brinker Ave. in Ogden. This 3 Bed 2 Bath home was originally listed in June for $144,900.

Once we got the home on the market, it became apparent pretty quickly that we had been overly optimistic on our pricing. We […]
... Read MoreI just closed on the sale of this mid-century rambler with some buyers in Ogden. Located at 682 35th Street, this property sits behind Leavitt’s Mortuary. The orientation of the lot provides for mountain views without the possibility of being obstructed by future development. The home was listed in September for $179,900. However, the owners had placed a tenant in their mother-in-law basement and their presence kept the home from being shown. The tenant expressed their intent to leave and the owners had moved out of state which motivated the […]

... Read MoreI just closed on the sale of this beautiful historic cottage located in downtown Ogden. We originally listed this property for sale in early June for $135,000. Within days we had four offers with the highest being $150,000. My sellers and I felt that the highest offer would probably not past muster with an appraiser so we picked the second highest bid of $142,000. The home went under contract and we proceeded with the sale. Unfortunately, the offer we accepted was contingent on the buyers selling their home and […]

We countered at $164,900 while offering $4,900 in seller paid closing costs. […]
