340 N June St

Sold for $1,000,000 Above Owners Price Estimate!

The Bienstock Group previously met the seller of this home when he was purchasing a house for his son and daughter-in-law and we were the listing agent. As an Ivy League trained big firm attorney, he was impressed with how we handled that sale and made a mental note to hire us to represent him when it was time for him to sell his landmark property. He initially estimated his home to be worth $6,000,000. As local experts, we knew that this historic property could fetch a higher price and so we listed it for $7,000,000. We garnered multiple offers over the asking price. Once in escrow, the buyers attempted to negotiate a huge amount in credits. To rebut this, we conducted our own inspections and used the reports to negotiate zero in credits. We successfully sold the property over asking with no reductions!

Sold for $600,000 Over First Offer!

This home was originally purchased for $3,200,000 and remodeled, putting in a pool, ADU, and finishing the basement.

The Bienstock Group was retained to sell this home in the summer of 2021. During the same time period, two neighboring homes sold for $1,692,000 and $1,725,000. The owner initially thought to list for $1,800,000, hoping it would sell for over asking. We listed for $1,800,000, but since we were confident we could get a higher price, we immediately pivoted and relisted with the increased listing price of $2,000,000, the price the owner wanted. We were positive we could deliver and we did! We sold the home in less than 30 days for $2,000,000, with no credits back to the buyer.

Expired Listing We Sold in a Week for $15,000 Over Asking!

The seller of this condo purchased a new house and he hired the listing agent from the new house he purchased to list this condo, his previous residence, for sale. That agent listed the condo, but was unable to secure an offer and the listing expired without a successful sale. The Bienstock Group took over the listing for the same price and we sold the condo within a week of going on the market for $15,000 over the asking price! The seller was ecstatic and amazed that listing the same property for the same price could result in such a different outcome by working with a different agent.

1927 Buckingham Rd

Sold for $200,000 Over Asking After Attracting Multiple Offers!

The owners were only willing to sell if they got $2,000,000 for their home. According to comps and history in the neighborhood, it was questionable if they could get that price. The Bienstock Group prepared the house for sale, including purchasing fixtures, hanging up curtains, and moving around and making beds. From our efforts, we received multiple offers that ultimately resulted in a sales price of $2,200,000, a record for the neighborhood and the only house to sell for that price in that spot of Wellington Heights. Selling Buckingham was the fourth time we worked with the sellers and their family, so they knew us well and counted on us to deliver. We went the extra mile and brought an additional $200,000 to the table!

613 N Alta Vista Blvd

$24,000 in Upgrades Led to $400,000 in Profit!

The owners of this home were looking to move to a different neighborhood so their kids could live near friends and attend different schools, and they needed to sell in order to buy. Having young children, full time jobs, and house prep going on at the same time would be challenging so we first found them a rental home. Prior to beginning any work, we had a buyer who was willing to pay $2,000,000 for the home “as is.” We knew the home could sell for more with some preparation. Based on our advice and guidance, the owners agreed to spend $24,000 in upgrades. Once preparations were complete, we took photographs and marketed the house in a way targeted to get top top dollar. With multiple offers gathered, we sold the home for $2,400,000! At $1,255/sq.ft., The Bienstock Group set the record for the highest price per square foot for all houses 2,500 sq.ft or less in the whole 90036 neighborhood!

$75,000 in Recommended Upgrades Led to $600,000 in Profit!

The owner passed away in his late 90s and he wrote in his will that he wanted The Bienstock Group to represent his property to get his heirs their maximum inheritance. He lived in the house since the 1950s and it needed to be restored by the new owner. Due to the amount of work needed (plumbing, electrical, roofing, termite treatment, HVAC upgrade, and more), the heirs were hesitant to invest any money into prep work. They found a family friend who was willing to pay just over $2,000,000 for the house “as is” without any preparations for sale. Based on The Bienstock Group’s expert advice, the heirs agreed to update the home and they invested $75,000 in upgrades. After all preparations were done, we marketed the house and negotiated our way to a successful, lucrative close. We closed the sale for $2,600,000!

This beautiful house was previously listed with another agent for $6,000,000. It went into escrow, but failed to close because the buyer couldn’t secure financing.

Sold for $450,000 Over FSBO Price!

The owner originally thought to list the house herself, and she had a buyer willing to pay $1,800,000 with no commissions. At the last minute, she wisely decided to list her house with The Bienstock Group. We listed the property for $1,995,000 with 5% commissions. Right away, we were able to attract multiple offers and we sold the house for $2,250,000. After accepting the best offer, we also successfully negotiated a negligible amount in credit to the buyer, even though the house needed expensive repairs. What the owner discovered, as our clients discover all the time, is that we added huge value and a high return on investment, making it very lucrative for the seller to hire us to represent her interests. Had she moved forward with listing her house herself, she would have left over $300,000 on the table!
