🏡 Seller Success Story – 1070 Valecrest, Blezard Valley

Preparation Meets Perfect Timing

I met the Royster family in 2015 when they relocated to Greater Sudbury. They were new to town and started out thinking waterfront was the goal — but very early on we figured out what they actually needed was something family-friendly, close to schools and amenities, and a smart long-term fit.

Fast forward several years: when it was time to make a move back south, we approached the sale the same way — methodically. With Peter’s financial background, the plan was simple: watch the market, pick the right window, and execute clean. Post–March Break was the moment, just before rate pressure really tightened buyer behaviour.

Strategic Staging, Marketing & Video

While the family was away, we handled absolutely everything — staging, pro photography, video, and a 3D tour — so the home was polished, consistent, and ready to shine the moment it hit the market.

When sellers are relocating, time matters. The goal is never to “do more” — it’s to make sure nothing is wasted, and every step is quality, intentional, and aligned with the result we’re chasing.

Price Low to Sell High

We priced at $699,900 — intentionally below true value to drive competition. That strategy can feel uncomfortable (especially for sellers who know what they have), but it works when the prep and the offer plan are rock solid.

We backed it with a pre-listing inspection (Sudbury Home Inspections) to remove uncertainty and boost buyer confidence. Then we made the expectation clear: preemptive offers were welcome — but the bar was high.

$875,000 – A New Benchmark

We sold 1070 Valecrest for $875,000 — a benchmark result for the neighbourhood at the time. It held as the top end of the local market for roughly a year, and since then a handful of nearby homes in the same subdivision (just a couple blocks away) have surpassed it.

We also aligned the sale with the family’s timeline, allowing their son to finish the school year before the move. Because real success isn’t just about price — it’s about peace of mind.
