Laura and David Hunt video review of Karen Goodman’s real estate services in the sale of their St. Charles condo.
Video is becoming more and more a part of my business, so it makes sense to use it to introduce you to some of my clients and have them share with you their experiences in working with me and the Arch City Homes team.
Laura was a first time buyer when she purchased her condo. Just a few years and a marriage later, Laura and David were ready to move on to the next stage of their life.
As first time sellers, they had a lot of questions. We talked through all of the issues and put together a great marketing plan. But there were a number of condos on the market in their community and the overall condo market was severely depressed.
No matter what you do, it’s hard to sell a property when their simply aren’t buyers. Determined to capture the next qualified buyer, we knew we had to be proactive.
We weren’t getting the number of showings that I hoped for in the first few weeks, so we made the decision to do a small price reduction and to offer a buyer’s agent bonus.
Seven days later we had an accepted contract.
In the end, it took us 42 days to get an accepted contract. We were the first condo out of the 6 available in the community to sell.
Now that Laura and David have sold the condo, I’m looking forward to working with them when they are ready to buy a house.

While I miss pumping out helpful information for St. Louis home buyers, sellers and residents, I always have to remember that my bills get paid by actually selling homes.
2010 has been a very good year.
There are a lot of changes happening inside my business so that I can continue to grow my business while still providing the best possible service to my clients. But implementing those changes takes time.
I’ve also gotten more involved in some outside organizations. I helped coordinate a real estate technology training conference that was held last week, Real Estate BarCamp St. Louis. I’ve continued my work with Back to School! Store and put together a website for them this year. Plus, I recently reconnected with the summer camp where I worked 20 years ago for 3 summers, and was asked to join the newly formed Alumni Advisory Committee of Sherwood Forest Camp.
And then there have been the homes I’ve sold.
Pamela & Brian sold their St. Charles home 1/13/10
Jenny sold her O’Fallon condo 1/29/10
Jenny bought a St. Peters home 2/18/10
John & Heather bought a Mehlville home 3/12/10
Meredith sold a South City home 3/25/10
Greg & Lisa sold their Frontenac home to Eric & Vivienne 3/29/10
Jennifer bought a Lafayette Square townhouse 4/30/10
Susan sold a Ferguson home 5/7/10
Susan bought a Ferguson home 5/7/10
Michael & Monica bought a Wildwood home 5/10/10
Tasha bought a Crestwood home 5/13/10
Matt & Bipasha bought a Maryland Heights area home 5/20/10
Michael & Monica sold a Ballwin home 6/2/10
Neil sold a Chesterfield condo 6/4/10
Orin & Erin bought a Shaw home 6/4/10
With plenty of other homes on the market and buyers out looking, life isn’t likely to slow down anytime soon!
