Property Address: 3969 Mars Ct, San Jose, CA 95121
The Backstory:
A Referral Born from Professionalism In a testament to her reputation, Laxmi Penupothula was referred to this seller by a buyer who had previously competed against her on a different listing. Despite having never met Laxmi, that buyer was so impressed by her negotiation skills that they insisted their friend use Laxmi to sell their home.
The Challenge:
100% Remote Management & Tough Competition The seller was located out of the country throughout the entire process, making the sale incredibly complex. Additionally, the market in the 95121 area was cooling; a comparable home with better updates and views had been sitting on the market without moving. The seller was understandably nervous, wondering if a $2.5 million price point was even achievable while being thousands of miles away.
The “Concierge” Strategy:
End-to-End Project Management Laxmi stepped in to act as the “boots on the ground,” handling the project end-to-end to ensure the home was market-ready:
Coordination:
Managing multiple contractors, cleaners, and repair teams.
Presentation:
Overseeing the professional staging and photography to ensure the home outshined the competition.
Commitment:
Laxmi provided this full-scale project management as part of her standard service, demonstrating a level of commitment that went far beyond the typical agent’s duties.
The Negotiation:
From “Coming Soon” to a Record Result Laxmi utilized a “Coming Soon” strategy and immediately secured a $2.6 million offer. While this exceeded the seller’s goal, the seller decided to move to the active market.
Generating Demand:
Once active, Laxmi generated an offer $100,000 over the $2.5 million list price.
The Final Push:
Refusing to settle, Laxmi went back to the table and negotiated an additional $25,000. The Result: $2,625,000 — A Neighborhood Record The property sold for $125,000 over asking price. For a seller living out of the country, Laxmi provided total peace of mind and a record-breaking financial return, proving that her strategic negotiation and project management are unmatched.
