Planning Ahead: The Power of Preparation
The sellers had just retired and were preparing for a big lifestyle change—relocating to the Oregon Coast. This was their first time selling a home, and they knew they needed guidance. So, months before listing, they reached out to our team at Krista Hopkins Homes to map out a plan.
Together, we focused on the basics that matter:
A full exterior repaint to maximize curb appeal
Keeping the yard and home spotless for showings
Timely repairs and thoughtful presentation
Marketing That Makes an Impression
Once the home was ready, we took it to the next level:
Staging by Posh Design & Staging to help buyers visualize life there
Photography and video by Shane Martin Photography to make a stunning online impression
Strategic pricing designed to generate multiple offers
We also leaned on our strong local marketing channels and listing exposure strategy, getting this home in front of the right buyers fast.
What Made This Home Stand Out
This wasn’t your average Kennewick home. It featured a rare detached 4-car garage, a private backyard that opened to a canyon, and quiet charm tucked into a well-kept neighborhood.
But what truly made the difference?
A seller who trusted the process, and a team that stayed hands-on through every step.
