Staten Island Seller Case Study
When the Next Home Is Already Under Contract.

The owners of this two-family Staten Island home were relocating out of state and had already committed to their next property. That meant their sale needed to move quickly — without sacrificing the opportunity to achieve a strong result.

The Story Behind the Sale
The Family Was Moving. The Clock Was Already Running.
The owners of 179 Regis Drive came to Joann through a personal recommendation from clients she had recently represented in both a home sale and purchase.
The family was preparing to leave Staten Island and move out of state. They had already committed to purchasing their next home and signed a contract, so their Staten Island sale was not a transaction that could simply unfold at its own pace.
The goal was to bring the property to market quickly, attract a qualified buyer and keep the family's relocation plans moving forward.
The Timing
There Was No Long Pre-Listing Runway.
Because the sellers already had another home under contract, preparing the listing efficiently became an important part of the strategy.
Joann coordinated with her media team quickly so the property could be professionally prepared for marketing without losing valuable time.
The focus was not simply on getting the listing online quickly. The home still needed to enter the market looking intentional, well positioned and ready to compete for serious buyer attention.
“When sellers have already committed to their next home, every decision has to consider both the value of the current property and the timing of the move.”
Joann Impellizine · Seller RepresentationThe Pricing Strategy
Price to Attract. Let Demand Do the Rest.
With the sellers' timeline in mind, Joann positioned the two-family home competitively at $789,000.
The objective was to create strong buyer interest immediately rather than entering the market at a price that could slow activity and create additional uncertainty for the sellers' out-of-state move.
Strategic pricing created the opportunity for buyers to respond quickly and allowed the market to determine just how much demand existed for the property.
Move quickly.
Without Leaving Value On the Table.
Securing the Buyer
Strong Interest Created a Stronger Result.
The competitive positioning generated the buyer response the sellers needed, and the property secured an offer above the original asking price.
Just as important, the buyer was able to move forward on the accelerated timeline needed for the sellers' relocation.
Once the transaction was underway, the focus shifted to keeping the process moving toward closing so the family could complete the sale and continue with their out-of-state purchase.
The Result
Listed at $789,000
Sold for $850,000
$61,000 Above Asking
The sellers were able to secure a buyer quickly and close their Staten Island property while moving forward with the out-of-state home they had already committed to purchasing. The final sale price reached $850,000 — $61,000 above the original asking price.
What This Sale Demonstrates
Selling Quickly Doesn't Have to Mean Selling Short.
A seller who needs to move quickly still needs a pricing and marketing strategy built around the property's market potential.
In this case, competitive positioning helped create immediate interest while still allowing buyer demand to push the final sale price above asking. The strategy supported both sides of the sellers' goal: achieving a strong result and keeping their relocation on schedule.
