A New Jersey homeowner needed to sell her high-end home in Long Branch fast to start a new job with the Army near Washington, D.C. When her cousin's real estate listing did not sell in time, Leverage Homes closed within the exact window she had left.
Long Branch, NJ
Single Family
45-Day Deadline
The seller owned a renovated, high-end single family home in Long Branch, New Jersey, just four blocks from the beach. She had accepted a significant career opportunity with the Army at the Pentagon and needed to sell the home quickly to make the move to Washington, D.C.
High-end homes in that part of Long Branch typically take time to sell at full value, so a fast timeline put real pressure on the process. She had about 45 days from accepting an offer to closing in order to secure the funds she needed for a place to live near her new job.
Before reaching out to Leverage Homes, she tried listing the property with her cousin, a real estate agent. That listing did not produce a sale in time, and she came back to Leverage Homes with only weeks left on her deadline.
By the time she returned to Leverage Homes, she had already used a large portion of her runway on the listing attempt. She also needed to spend most weeks in Washington, D.C. for the new job, which meant she could not be in New Jersey to manage inspections, the certificate of occupancy, or the fire certificate herself. The team had to hold the exact terms from the original offer and manage the entire process from a distance, on a schedule that left very little margin.
Because she had already spent time trying to sell through a family connection, there was little room left to work with once she came back to Leverage Homes. The team moved to keep the original terms in place and handle every piece of the sale while she was out of state.
She had already spent time trying to sell through a family connection, and the team kept the same deal ready to go if that route did not work out.
With her driving back and forth to check on the home, the team coordinated inspections with someone familiar to her and kept her updated on the condition of the property.
Since she could not be in New Jersey during the week, the team handled the required certifications directly so the closing timeline would not slip.
The closing happened on the timeline she needed, and the added use and occupancy period gave her time to finish the move to Washington, D.C. without rushing.
Closed within the 45 days she had from acceptance to close.
Provided 30 days of use and occupancy after closing so she could plan her move.
Delivered every dollar of the original offer, unchanged from the first agreement.
Earned her more than she expected to make from the original listing attempt.
"We'll take care of your home. We'll treat it like our own until the day it closes."
