Story of a Successful Home Sale in Coral Gables

<>
1436 Cantoria Sold for Almost Asking Price at $720,000.  Julie & Jim Berlin wrote to us: “We want to personally acknowledge the wonderful job that Slesnick Associates provided in our recent relocation in the Gables. You really accomplished double duty in that your helped us buy a perfect new home and also sell our old home all within a couple months. For several years we had been considering downsizing but only viewed a few prospective homes for information purposes. Then low and behold we ventured into one of your open houses. It was just what we wanted and more. With your guidance we made an offer and achieved a closing within just a few weeks. At the same time, Slesnick Associates rushed to identify the appropriate preparation of our old home. We followed all of your suggestions and pressure cleaned, painted, decluttered, removed furniture, pulled up carpeting, washed our windows, and more. We also appreciated your allowing us to borrow some of your staging materials like oriental area rugs, paintings, and linens. Your experience in setting a fair price and in extensive marketing allowed us to attract a buyer surprisingly quickly. So we never had a period of two mortgage payments. Really outstanding! ”
