My 2011 Highlight? Selling Two $MM Homes Back to Back w/6 DOM for Each

January 2nd, 2012


Two $MM River Oaks Homes SOLD w/6 Days on Market For Each.

River Oaks
is a well known luxury neighborhood in Houston, Texas with a blend of “old oil-money” homes from the 1930’s and 40’s, as well as magnificent homes of more recent construction.

 

 

Both of these multi-million dollar luxury homes used SMARTePLANS floor plans with embedded photos as their marketing materials.

 

 

At the end of July, 3247 Inwood Drive went Option Pending with 6 days on the market; and then at the end of August,  3640 Willowick Drive went Option Pending also with 6 days on the market.  That was a fast 30 days for both!

 

 

3247 Inwood Drive, was listed by Betty Shindler of Martha Turner Properties (MLS # 7941045) and had remarkable 18th century reproduction cabinetry custom built on site throughout the property, and other noteworthy architectural features including amazing reclaimed pine and chestnut floors throughout the first floor.  This River Oaks Home sold OVER LIST PRICE after 6 Days on the Market.

 

 

3640 Willowick Drive represented by Victoria Minton and Walter Bering of Martha Turner Properties (MLS# 86406011) was also a very unique property which backed onto the River Oaks Country Club Golf Course.

 

The exquisite indoor space featured formals with original inlaid hardwood floors and extended height ornamental crown moldings.

 The property also had casual outdoor space, including a dining pergola, combined with very formal parterre gardens --- that opened onto the 14th hole of the River Oaks Country Club Golf Course.


Listed at $ 8.6M this River Oaks property also sold after only 6 days on the market. 


 

Since SMARTePLANS are custom created floor plans with embedded photography and every detail annotated, it’s common for an online view of the SMARTePLAN from our MLS to quickly turn into a “I-MUST-see-this property NOW.”

 

 

Because the photography is embedded inside the floor plan, viewing the property on our MLS all makes so much (more) sense – instead of viewing random photos and trying to figure out which room is which. Reviewing the detailed Amenities Text online makes buyers feel they are getting “more” then other properties they may be reviewing.

 

 

There were several grand homes in River Oaks on the market at the time these were listed … and they were still on the market 30 days later when SMARTePLANS helped sell two multi-million dollar homes with six days on the market in July and August 2011.  

 

After reading this, if I had a home to sell in River Oaks, I’d be dialing agents at Martha Turner Properties in a pretty big hurry.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

=====================

 SMARTePLANS® have photos embedded inside the floor plan that launch with a mouse click .... each photo arrow is positioned in the plan where the photographer was standing --- so you can see where he was and what he was aiming at when he took the shot ... in relationship to the drawing. Beneath the photo is a description of that room. Once the photo launches you have a choice to link back to the floor plan and choose another photo, or read the amenities text for the WHOLE property (not just that particular room).  All the files are inter-linked so you can seamlessly click around this property, viewing the photos and reading the descriptions.  This is not a video ... you choose what you want to view ... or not

 

[NOTE: SMARTePLANS® are PDF files so they magnify to over 100%. When the file launches, click "View" on the top toolbar and make sure there is a checkmark next to the toolbar named "Select and Zoom". Every time you tap the plus key inside the circle the view screen enlarges (the minus key shrinks the magnification); and the magnifying glass with the plus sign in it marquee selects a specfic area of the drawings to be enlarged. Using the hand key and the scroll bars, its easy to move around inside the file, and then magnifying the features you want to see.]
