Representing the buyer on 5271 Salerno Dr
The buyer called Michael's business partner with a specific question: do you have anything off-market or coming soon that you can share? That question is the whole reason this deal happened. Buyers who only shop what is publicly listed are competing with everyone else who is shopping what is publicly listed.
From there it was a small number of well-chosen tours in the Positano community, with honest read-outs on each home — what it would take to make it work, and what it would realistically resell for. The right home surfaced quickly.
The purchase closed at $2,215,000, negotiated $80,000 below asking. Michael then coordinated a full renovation of the home after close, delivered below market cost.
Access to what hasn't been listed yet, plus someone who can price the work a home needs, is worth more than another weekend of open houses.
