CONNECTIONS + ACCESS
First Through the Door at the HGTV Dream Home
The Situation
Sometimes the biggest buyer advantage isn't negotiating the price down.
It's knowing about the right opportunity before everyone else does.
Through our real estate connections, Team Territo learned that the winners of the HGTV Dream Home planned to sell the property.
We immediately recognized this as an unusual opportunity.
The Team Territo Strategy
We got our buyer through the door quickly and evaluated the home and its asking price.
Based on the property, location and what was included, we believed the home was underpriced.
Instead of risking the opportunity by focusing on negotiating a discount, our buyer was prepared to submit a full-price cash offer that included the home's contents.
Speed, certainty and recognizing value were the strategy.
The Result
Purchased March 7, 2025: $1,999,950
When our customer's life circumstances later changed, Team Territo represented him again when it was time to sell.
Sold July 28, 2026: $2,200,000
INCREASE IN SALE PRICE: $200,050
The property increased in sale price by more than $200,000 in approximately 16 months.
Why Representation Mattered
The best negotiation isn't always the lowest offer.
Sometimes a buyer wins because their agent has the relationships to uncover an opportunity, recognizes that a property represents strong value and knows when the right strategy is simply to act.
Access + market knowledge + preparation helped this buyer get there first.
