💥 Success Story: How 18 Wagon Wheel Lane Sold in Just 6 Days—$55K Over Asking
In the heart of Center Moriches, NY, nestled on a quiet street, 18 Wagon Wheel Lane was more than just a house—it was a cherished home filled with memories. But when it came time for the homeowners to move on, they had one goal in mind: to sell their property quickly, with minimal stress, and for top dollar.
They called in The Haydon Team at Realty Connect USA, and what happened next was nothing short of a real estate success story.
🎯 Step 1: Setting the Stage for Success
Before listing the home, Jim Haydon and his team conducted an in-depth walk-through, analyzing not just the features of the home but also the buyer trends in the Center Moriches market. Their findings formed the basis of a custom pre-listing strategy designed to showcase the home at its absolute best.
The team provided the sellers with a tailored “prep-for-market” checklist, which included:
Minor cosmetic updates
Decluttering suggestions
Exterior curb appeal enhancements
Interior staging tips to highlight natural light and room flow
Once the updates were complete, The Haydon Team arranged for professional photography, drone footage, and a cinematic video tour—ensuring the home would stand out online where 90% of buyers start their home search.
📣 Step 2: Multi-Step Marketing Plan Ignites Buzz
With the house staged and sparkling, it was time to launch The Haydon Team’s proven multi-step marketing system, crafted to generate maximum exposure and interest in a short window of time.
Here’s what that included:
MLS Listing Optimization: SEO-friendly listing description written to rank on platforms like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Google
Social Media Blitz: Targeted Facebook and Instagram ads aimed at buyers within a 25-mile radius, plus boosted open house promotions
Email Marketing Campaign: A blast to an internal database of hundreds of active buyers and local agents
YouTube Exposure: A high-quality property video featured on the Haydon Team’s YouTube channel with paid reach enhancement
Google Business & Real Estate Portals: Syndication across all top search engines and real estate marketplaces
In the words of Jim Haydon, “We don’t just list homes—we launch them.”
🚪 Step 3: Open House Weekend Delivers Massive Foot Traffic
The listing went live on a Wednesday. Within 24 hours, buyer inquiries started pouring in. But it was the weekend that changed everything.
Over 50 people showed up to the open houses across Saturday and Sunday. The energy was electric, and buyers were clearly emotionally connecting to the home. Thanks to thoughtful staging and detailed property info sheets prepared by The Haydon Team, potential buyers stayed longer and asked deeper questions—indicating serious interest.
The feedback was consistent: the home was priced competitively, marketed masterfully, and showed beautifully.
📝 Step 4: Multiple Offers… and $55,000 Over Asking
By Day 6, The Haydon Team had received multiple offers, many above asking. After a careful review and negotiation process, one offer stood out: $55,000 over list price with favorable terms and a strong financial profile.
The sellers were elated. Not only had they received more than they hoped for, but they also felt informed, supported, and in control every step of the way.
✅ Step 5: Another Promise Delivered
In just under a week, 18 Wagon Wheel Lane was under contract—with a sales price that exceeded expectations and a transaction process that felt seamless.
“We couldn’t believe it. Jim and his team delivered everything they promised and more. From staging advice to the marketing to negotiating top dollar—we were blown away.”
