How I Guarantee Sellers Top Dollar: The Art of Strategic Pricing...Case Studies 1-2-3

 I have sold many homes in 10 days or less! I am known for creating urgency and FOMO.

In 2022, I listed this home for $2,895,000. By identifying high-ROI repairs, refreshing the interiors, and executing an aggressive marketing campaign —including a signature Broker Brunch and private showings—we closed at $3,471,000 in just seven days...that is $576,000 over the asking price! Fast forward to 2024: the same home was resold by a discount agent. Despite a similar starting point, their passive, hands-off approach resulted in an 84-day wait and a final sale $100,000 below list price. This "discount" cost the owner hundreds of thousands in lost equity. Success isn't just about the listing; it’s about who you hire to lead the strategy.

I positioned this well maintained home to appeal directly to buyers who want a move-in ready property. The best ROI was the decision to update and remodel the kitchen, paint the interior throughout and stage it with luxury in mind. Pricing it just below fair market value at $1,495,000 to attract a wide buyer pool and leveraging the MLS "Coming Soon" category just before the Labor Day weekend created FOMO. The result? A flood of multiple offers within just 3 days and a final sale price of $1,725,000! This smart strategy delivered $230,000 over the asking price for my ecstatic seller and in record time!

These two condominiums were released on the same weekend. I advised my seller to buy new stainless steel appliances, paint the kitchen cabinets and stage. The other condominium didn’t update the kitchen appliances or paint. Their staging did not convey warmth or luxury. I released mine in the Coming Soon category at $999k on Wednesday -they listed theirs at $995k. I upticked our price to $1,025,000 when we went “live” to make agents take notice and demonstrate why our condo was superior - a bold move! Hosted Broker brunch and got a bidding war started! Negotiated the offers up between 3 buyers until midnight that day. Sold for $1.1M in 5 days! The other condo closed their sale Day 63 at $950k -$45k less!

A Buyers 100 Step Journey - starts with a result driven Realtor...Case Studies 1-2-3

Multiple reviews mention Stephanie LeBeau's ability to move fast, sometimes getting offers accepted the same day and keeping all parties—including banks—on track for an efficient close.  

Working with Stephanie LeBeau at Vanguard Properties is frequently described by buyers as a highly personalized, energetic and professional experience characterized by her deep knowledge of the San Francisco market.  Clients highlight her as a dedicated advocate who manages the "paperwork maze" and complex negotiations with calm and persistence.

When a colleague in the rental sector heard her best friend’s kids had found their dream home but didn't know the next step, she sent them my way. We met on Sunday, toured the property, and I immediately shifted into high gear.I reached out to the listing agent to gauge seller expectations and secured the disclosure package right away. The most critical part of the buyer's journey is the "homework"—navigating a disclosure package that can be between 250 to 500 pages. My role is to simplify that mountain of paperwork and educate my clients so they can move forward with confidence. To seal the deal, I ran the comparables of most recent sales to craft a compelling preemptive offer, signed hundreds of disclosures to present a "clean" offer and the sellers couldn't refuse.  Here's what the Buyers had to say - 

24 Nov 2024

"Super helpful and got us into our dream home fast! We wanted to move fast and Stephanie was amazing. She knew a lot about our market (San Francisco) and gave us good perspective to make confidence choices at every step. Stephanie helped us get our first offer accepted same-day and kept things moving for us through the whole process. Couldn't have asked for a better outcome. 10/10."

In 2020, I helped my clients find their perfect condo in North Beach.  Fast forward four years and life has brought an exciting new chapter: they’re expecting! With a baby on the way, their top priority was finding a home that could keep their growing family and their parents close by. We immediately jumped into high gear and found a stunning, newly remodeled place in a building just five blocks away. Because the condominium had been on the market for several weeks, we ran the comparables and identified a strategic opportunity. We decided to push with a lower offer—and it was accepted - $43,000 less than the list price!

"Stephanie is an Outstanding Realtor! My husband and I have purchased eight homes in our lifetime in several states across the country, and Stephanie LeBeau has been the best realtor we have ever worked with. We purchased our condo in SFO while living in another city. Stephanie LeBeau was extremely knowledgeable about the SFO real estate market, introducing us to properties and neighborhoods with which we were unfamiliar. Her communication skills were outstanding, as she listened, remembered, and understood our needs and refined her searches to exactly what we were looking for, which was extremely important as we had limited time to search for properties in SFO. Her professionalism was remarkable as she was extremely organized, remembering details and reminding us of timeline expectations, while also providing contacts for HOA services and furniture purchase. Stephanie's pleasant personality along with her professionalism, market knowledge, and communication skills made purchasing our condo a pleasant experience."

Finding the "perfect" home is about more than just a floor plan—it’s about matching a property to a client’s unique lifestyle. After touring multiple options, my clients fell in love with a newly built home that had been sitting on the market for months. We saw an opportunity, wrote an aggressive offer for hundreds of thousands below asking, and won!With a lightning-fast 5-day close in motion, disaster struck: we discovered water in the house just 48 hours before the deadline. In high-stakes moments like these, you need a steadfast realtor who stays calm under pressure. I immediately rallied the listing agent and the seller to find a solution. Within 24 hours, they brought in an engineer and installed fans and sump pumps, ensuring we closed right on time! 

"Stephanie is a fantastic realtor! We have had such a good experience with Stephanie and Julianna. They understand very quickly what you need and don't waste time showing you inappropriate homes. They are quick to respond to texts and emails. They are on top of the nitty gritty details and you feel like they have your back throughout the process. Most importantly Stephanie is tireless and eternally positive. She doesn't get disappointed when you don't like a house, she just moves on and shows you more. And what I like best is that she doesn't abandon you when the deal is done or disaster strikes - you can turn to her at any point if you need help. She wasn't just a realtor, she was a friend to us."
