Last year, when I called the owner to see whether they were interested in re-listing it, they told me that they decided to re-build it…I thought wow – that’s bold…most sellers are resistant to even cleaning out some of the furniture or painting – let alone re-building their house!
Even with a location that is what is currently trending – close to town, transportation and everything else…to build a $8M+ house on a corner lot with the goal to flip it, takes guts. But they did it and after 135 days, they got a deal…and it closed for $8.2M on an asking price of $8,950,000.
This was then – expiring at $4,385,000 – 4 bedrooms, and a little over 3500SF:
1 Deer Lane – Last Year – 1.87 acres
1 Deer Lane – Sold for $8.2M this week – Over 10,000SF
The art of the deal transcends all businesses, and more so in real estate than in many other professions. For the client, it's often an emotional purchase or sale, rather than a simple commodity or luxury item. I make it my mission to have each side come to terms with a transaction that works for everyone. It's not always easy, but good things in life usually take effort - something from which I've never shied.
Licensed since 2009 as a real estate sales agent in CT & NY, I often work with clients on the border of both areas.
With sales and distribution experience for luxury designer products, and watching/reacting to the markets, my acumen for sales was established. Achieving success and contributing to the growth of many global apparel designer brands, such as Giorgio Armani and Paul Smith for over 20 years, it was time for a change. I wanted to explore another passion that would keep me in one location rather than traveling the globe.
Now I have the best of both worlds, a successful business as a fulfilling personal life. My husband and I have lived in back country Greenwich since 2003, where we enjoy easy access to great biking, hiking and golf. We love to ski and that's usually where our travel takes us.
Life is good in Greenwich!
