JUST SOLD | OFF-MARKET 🏡✨
We’re excited to announce the sale of 3252 Dupont Ave S, closed at $925,000 through an exclusive off-market strategy. Instead of listing publicly, we leveraged strong relationships to match the right buyer with the perfect home.
This approach shows that selling doesn’t always require launching to the market—sometimes the best opportunities exist within your network.
Congrats to our sellers and the new owners! If you’re thinking about selling quietly and intentionally, let’s talk about your options. ✨

Congratulations to Elaine & Tim on their very cool new home in Golden Valley! 🏡🎉
Such a fun house with tons of character, an awesome setting, and proof that right now can actually be a pretty great time to be a buyer.
Thank you both for trusting us to help you through the process! We have a feeling it won’t take long to turn “Grandma’s house” into your house—although saying goodbye to the THREE different varieties of carpet on the same level should speed up the transformation considerably. 😜
Congrats, you two! We’re so excited for you and can’t wait to see what you do with the place! ❤️
