What the Tyson - Paul Fight Teaches Us about Selling a Home

"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face" - Mike Tyson

Friends -

The internet went wild with disappointment after the Mike Tyson/Jake Paul fight…

Millions cried foul about the match's absurdly uneventful outcome, and many even suggested that it may have been staged!

What if I told you that I don't believe people were bummed out about the fight quality at all?

I think most folks were dismayed at the gap between their expectations and reality.

When folks put their home up for sale, the thought never crosses their mind that it might not sell.

Yet 658 homes on the Washington County MLS failed to sell in the last 90 days…

Seller expectation: Buyers will flock to their home. They dream of a bidding war, helping them move on to their next adventure.

Reality: They're getting calls, texts, and emails from Agents asking for the business because their listing expired…

When Mike Tyson was asked about whether he was worried about his fight with Evander Holyfield, he famously quipped, “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” 

Ouch. Literally. 

When Diane S. called to discuss selling her Sun River home, she felt desperate. She had already tried to sell the home with not one but two different Agents.

Panic set in as she risked losing her reserved unit in Ovation Sienna Hills.

She never thought she'd be in this spot. Her home was on the market for 232 days without many buyers showing interest.

She called hoping for a fresh start and some authentic feedback on what needed to happen to sell in this market. 

After just 3 days on the market with The Larkin Group, Diane had two Buyers competing for her property. She got 100% of her asking price and was moved 29 days later.

What was so different about our approach? Nothing terribly earthshaking, other than an actual system and plan to beat the market.
