MS Gulf Coast Real Estate Team Sells Long Beach Home in Pecan Park

GULFPORT, Miss. - Sept. 4, 2015 - PRLog -- The Stage 5 Team, a top producing team at Keller Williams in Gulfport, MS, has closed another Long Beach property.  Listing agent Judy Atherton sold the ranch style home in Pecan Park subdivision located at 511 Forest Avenue North, Long Beach, MS 39560.

The owner of the home purchased it in May 2013 with the help of Becky Harlan, a buyer specialist on Judy Atherton’s team.  They quickly outgrew the home, and in July of 2015 they listed the home with Judy.  Before the team could even put a sign in the yard Atherton had the home under contract, and just 23 days later they sat together at the closing table.

The house at 511 Forest Avenue North proves the MS Gulf Coast market is heating up.  With the number of active listings decreasing and the number of home sales increasing, the market is shifting to favor sellers.  The average sales price is also on the rise, climbing 2.13 percent from June 2015 to July 2015 to $131,750.  “The home went under contract within days of it going live in our multiple listings system,” Atherton explains, “We had three immediate showings that resulted in an offer shortly after that delightfully surprised our sellers!”  The rest is history.  The contract was a cash deal, and after a few quick inspections, all parties met at the closing table to make the sale final.

The home was listed at $140,000 and closed at $131,000 with the seller paying zero closing cost contribution to the buyer.   The buyers paid cash for the home, and the sale closed in just 23 days.  The closing took place at Schwartz, Orgler & Jordan, PLLC located at 12206 Highway 49, Gulfport, MS 39503.

Judy Atherton and the Stage 5 Team use multiple marketing strategies to list their properties so that they reach as many potential buyers as possible.  Completing a comparable marketing analysis, hiring a professional photographer and syndicating the listing information to over 300 websites through Keller Williams’ exclusive listing system are just a few strategies that Atherton and her team use to achieve results.

“Technology is always improving,” Atherton says, “My team and I work hard to stay informed about what works and what doesn’t, so we can deliver the best quality of service and results to our clients."
