From Two Years to Six Weeks: How Moreland Achieved a Stunning Turnaround in Selling St. John’s Road

The real estate market can be unpredictable, but sometimes a fresh perspective and strategy can make all the difference. A prime example of this is the sale of a property on St. John’s Road, Temple Fortune, NW11, which lingered on the market for two years with another local agent before Moreland achieved a sale in just six weeks.


Here’s how it happened.

The Initial Struggle: A Two-Year Stalemate

The property first hit the market in December 2022, represented by another local agent. Despite being a desirable listing, the property experienced three fallen-through sales during its two-year tenure. These challenges left the homeowners feeling frustrated and disheartened, with their hopes of selling slipping further away.
What went wrong? Often, extended periods on the market can stem from mispricing, ineffective marketing, or poor buyer engagement. While the initial agent’s efforts may have been well-meaning, the results showed that a new approach was needed.

The Moreland Difference

On November 21, 2024, the homeowners made a pivotal decision to switch representation to Moreland. From the outset, Moreland’s expertise and proactive approach became apparent.
Effective Marketing and Presentation: Moreland launched a targeted marketing campaign tailored to highlight the property’s best features. This included professional photography, compelling descriptions, and strategic exposure across relevant platforms.
Engaging the Right Buyers: Within a short span, Moreland generated 19 viewings. Their team focused on connecting with genuinely interested and qualified buyers, ensuring that each showing counted.
Streamlined Negotiation: Moreland’s negotiation strategy led to four offers within weeks, culminating in an accepted offer by January 6, 2025. Their ability to maintain momentum and manage buyer expectations ensured a smooth process.

Results Speak Louder Than Words

The results were transformative:
  • Time on Market: Just six weeks from listing to an accepted offer.
  • Exchange of Contracts: By February 6, 2025, contracts were exchanged, marking a record time for this property.
  • Homeowners’ Satisfaction: After years of uncertainty, the homeowners could finally move forward with their plans, thanks to Moreland’s efficiency and professionalism.
