From First Home to New Beginnings: Amanda’s Selling Story in Lakewood

When Amanda first called me, she sounded a little overwhelmed.

“This is the first home I ever bought,” she said. “I raised my kids here, but now it’s just me. I think I’m ready… I just don’t know where to start.”

Amanda had owned her home in Lakewood for nearly 18 years. It had a big backyard, a cozy fireplace, and a ton of memories. But with her kids grown and her job now remote, she was ready to downsize and live closer to her sister in Fort Collins.

The house needed some updates, and Amanda wasn’t sure how much time, money, or energy she should put in before listing it. That’s where I came in.

Step 1: The Game Plan

I walked Amanda through a full market analysis and showed her how buyers in Lakewood were responding to homes like hers. Then, I brought in my team—a stager, photographer, and a trusted handyman—to help with light cosmetic updates that would make a huge difference without overdoing it.

We focused on decluttering, fresh paint, new light fixtures, and landscaping cleanup. Just a few simple changes gave the home a bright, inviting feel.

Step 2: Strategic Pricing & Launch

Based on comps and current demand, we priced the home just right—not too high, not too low—to get attention and build momentum.

The result?
We had over 30 showings in the first weekend and multiple offers by Monday.

Amanda was stunned (in the best way). “I didn’t think it would happen this fast,” she said, smiling with both relief and a little sadness.

Step 3: The Transition

We negotiated a strong offer with flexible terms that gave Amanda time to move at her own pace. She closed smoothly, found a beautiful townhome up north, and called me the day she moved in: “It was emotional, but I’m so glad I did this. Thank you for making it easier.”
