Recently, I had the privilege of helping a client sell her late mother’s home in Attleboro. It was a deeply emotional time—navigating grief, probate, and the overwhelming task of preparing the home for market. She had the Power to Sell, and we worked closely to explore the best path forward.
The original plan was to list the home as-is in the $550K–$570K range—but I knew with some strategic improvements, we could do better. Along with my client, my team at Savvy Realty Group came in to help: interior painting, two bathroom refreshes, some new flooring, window sill and ceiling tile replacements, garage door updates, yard cleanup, and more. In all, about $20K of upgrades.
The results spoke for themselves.
After just the first weekend of open houses, we received an offer for $653,000. The energy and turnout were amazing—it was clear our efforts made a huge impact. Although that first offer ultimately fell through (a part of real estate we sometimes can’t control), we secured another strong offer shortly after. While it came in lower, the terms were very favorable and aligned perfectly with my client’s goals.
Most importantly, she felt supported through every step. In her words, “I didn’t just sell a house—I lifted a burden during one of the hardest moments of her life”.
This wasn’t just about numbers—it was about reducing stress, honoring her mother’s legacy, and making the process as smooth and respectful as possible.
If you’re dealing with a complex or emotional property situation, know this: you have options. Selling as-is isn’t the only path. The right strategy can ease your stress—and maximize your return.
