A 1912 bungalow with the porch nobody wanted to paint. We painted it, priced it at what the street had paid, and opened the door on the Saturday.

How it sold

Listed on a Thursday at $985,000. Forty-one people came through on the Saturday. Four offers by the Tuesday; the one we took was a cash offer with a 21-day close at $1,042,000, not the highest number but the surest.
