How We Sold 3026 Kalex Court $14,000 Above Asking!

Proof that strategic positioning in Charlotte’s competitive market makes all the difference.

 

The Situation

For the sellers at 3026 Kalex Court, this wasn’t their first time on the market. Before coming to us, their home had already spent 111 days listed with another agent. Showings were sporadic. Feedback was vague. Interest never translated into offers. They knew the home had potential - but it simply wasn’t reaching the right buyers.

Located in the heart of Elizabeth in Charlotte’s 28204, the property checked all the boxes: charm, character, and a location buyers consistently search for. But here’s the truth about competitive neighborhoods - location alone doesn’t create urgency. Strategy does. By the time they reached out, they weren’t interested in “hoping it sells.” They were relocating for work and needed a clean, confident plan that would cut through the noise and attract serious buyers.

So we repositioned the home entirely. We didn’t just re-list it - we relaunched it.

Through our HGTV Marketing Plan, we highlighted the architectural details, the natural light, and the lifestyle that Elizabeth buyers are actually looking for. We refined the presentation, elevated the visuals, and built a campaign designed to create attention -not just another MLS entry.

In a zip code where buyers are selective and inventory is competitive, you don’t win by blending in.

You win by standing out.

And that’s exactly what we did.

The Strategy

In one of Charlotte’s most competitive pockets, strategy separates the homes that sell quickly from the ones that sit. In 28204, buyers expect presentation, polish, and a clear value story. If that narrative isn’t dialed in from day one, the market responds with silence. After 111 days of that silence, it was clear - this wasn’t about luck. It was about precision. So we repositioned the home entirely. We didn’t just relist it - we relaunched it.

Step 1: Strategic Pre-Market Preparation
Before a single photo was taken, we focused on preparation. We guided the sellers through targeted cosmetic improvements, professional cleaning, and strategic staging adjustments designed to maximize perceived value, not inflate expenses. Every space was intentionally styled to enhance scale, light, and flow. The goal was simple. When buyers walked in or scrolled online, the home needed to feel move-in ready and emotionally compelling.

Step 2: High-Impact Visual Marketing
Today’s buyers make decisions in seconds. If the visuals do not create impact, they never schedule the showing. We deployed professional HDR photography, cinematic video, and carefully timed twilight imagery to showcase the architectural character and lifestyle appeal that Elizabeth buyers expect. The presentation was designed to command attention online and create immediate curiosity.

Step 3: “Coming Soon” Buzz Campaign
We do not wait for the MLS to generate momentum. We create it. Through a targeted pre-market campaign to top agents and our private buyer database, we introduced the home before it officially launched. By the time it went live, interest had already been cultivated and conversations were underway.

Step 4: Beyond the MLS: Our Aggressive 200-Step Marketing Plan
We did not rely solely on the MLS and hope for exposure. We implemented our 200 Step Marketing Plan, a comprehensive strategy designed to surround the market with intentional visibility. Every detail was executed with purpose, from digital campaigns and social media placement to targeted database outreach and direct agent engagement. This was not a passive listing. It was an active launch. The objective was simple. Ensure the right buyers saw the home, felt its value, and acted with confidence. In a competitive market like 28204, that level of execution is what creates leverage and drives results.

 

The Result

When the strategy launched, the market responded. Through our 200 Step Marketing Plan, 3026 Kalex Court generated 133,250 total online views across all platforms. This wasn’t a “list it and hope” approach. We proactively positioned the home in front of the right buyers to drive real activity and get it sold.

 

Our digital campaigns expanded reach even further:

  • 36,161 views on YouTube

  • 13,349 engagements on Facebook

  • 820 interactions on Instagram

  • 412 views on Trulia

  • 2,721 views directly on The Finigan Group website

  • 832 views on the personal property site
