How the Cari Ann Carter Group Sold a Luxury Listing in Just 3 Days: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Our Winning Process

At the Cari Ann Carter Group, we’re all about getting results—and fast! Recently, we had the privilege of listing a luxury home that went under contract in just 3 days. Want to know how we did it? It’s a mix of top-tier marketing, a streamlined process, and a dedicated, full-service team working seamlessly behind the scenes. This success story is the perfect example of what makes us different.

Here’s how we turned this listing into a quick success and how we can do the same for you:

Step 1: Understand the "Why" Behind the Sale

Understanding our clients' reasons for selling is key to creating a personalized, strategic plan. In this case, our sellers were relocating for a job—a situation we’re familiar with. We quickly aligned our efforts with their goals to ensure a smooth transition.

Step 2: Price It Right

When it comes to selling, pricing is everything. Too high, and you risk losing buyers. Too low, and you leave money on the table. Our team, with years of experience and local market expertise, knows how to price your home to attract the most interest from both buyers and agents. In this case, we hit the perfect price point, generating a flood of inquiries. Ready to make your dream home a reality?

Step 3: Preparation is Key

Before hitting the market, we worked with the sellers to make the home shine. Our concierge service included everything from repainting rooms to installing new carpet—ensuring the house was move-in ready for potential buyers. But we didn’t stop there. We brought in professional cleaners to deep-clean every corner of the home, ensuring it looked pristine from top to bottom. To take it a step further, we also arranged for expert staging to highlight the home’s best features and create an inviting atmosphere. Whether it’s staging, repairs, or cosmetic upgrades, we have the resources to get your home in top shape fast, making it irresistible to buyers.

Step 4: Curated Marketing Plan

Our marketing strategy is where the magic happens. Every listing gets a custom plan tailored to its unique qualities. Here's how we showcased this luxury home:

  • Professional Photography & Videography: We captured stunning visuals to make sure the home stood out online.

  • Email & Social Media Campaigns: Using our high-quality media, we blasted the listing across our social channels, website, and email campaigns, reaching thousands of potential buyers.

  • Neighborhood Mailers & Open Houses: We sent targeted postcards to surrounding neighborhoods, inviting people to the open house. But we didn’t stop there—our team hosted an Exclusive Properties Meeting with Edina Realty agents before the public open house, so we could connect directly with agents who might have clients in the market for a home like this one.

Step 5: Evaluate Offers with Precision

When the offers started rolling in, we carefully reviewed each one to make sure the buyer was pre-approved and ready to move forward. We’re experts at spotting the best deal—not just by the offer price but by the buyer’s ability to close. If needed, we’ll negotiate terms to bridge any gaps, from adjusting closing dates to covering costs, ensuring you get the best possible outcome.

Step 6: Accept the Right Offer

Once we found the perfect offer, we reviewed all the contract details, including deposit amounts, contingencies, and closing timelines. We make sure every part of the agreement is crystal clear before you sign. When you accept an offer, it’s smooth sailing to the closing table.

Step 7: Get Ready to Close

Closing is the final step, but there’s still a lot to do to make sure everything is in order. We handle all the details—from scheduling inspections to coordinating repairs—to ensure that everything is ready for a seamless transaction. We also help you get organized for moving day, so you can focus on the excitement of your next chapter.
