“Winding my way down on Baker Street...”

In September 2018, we picked up this off-market single-family home on Baker Street from a seller who needed speed and certainty. We made a direct cash offer, closed fast, and took possession of a house that was already in solid shape.

There was no need for renovations or drama. We immediately listed the property and within just a few weeks, we had a buyer in place. The entire turnaround—from purchase to resale closing—was 36 days.

The result? Seller walked with what they needed. Buyer got a clean deal on a move-in ready home. We cleared $21,000 profit on a $60,000 acquisition.

A rare, fast win-win-win. Sometimes everything lines up just right...even on Baker Street.
