How Do You Sell a Klahanie Home in Under a Week?
Peter and Kaitlyn Corazao weren't sure what selling their Klahanie home would actually get them. Four days after listing, they had their answer: a sale at $1,425,237 — nearly 102% of list price.
The Property
A 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in Klahanie's Division 19, built in 1994, on a 5,300-square-foot lot.
The Seller's Goal
Before committing to anything, the Corazaos wanted a realistic read on what the market would actually support for their home — not a guess, a grounded number they could plan around.
The Challenge
Selling a home you've lived in comes with a real question underneath the practical ones: what's it actually going to get you, and is that enough to make the next move work? That uncertainty was the first thing to resolve — before pricing, before prepping, before anything else.
The Strategy
The first move wasn't about the listing at all — it was connecting the Corazaos with a buying agent in the location they were relocating to, so they could purchase their next home first. That took the pressure off timing the sale around anything but getting it right.
Preparation
A curated list of contractors, stagers, and photographers got the home market-ready on time and on budget. Throughout the house, silent talking cards called out details buyers would otherwise walk past — the kind of small, specific touches that make a home memorable after a showing, not just during one.
Marketing
Professional photography did the heavy lifting online. The home held a single open house weekend rather than a string of scattered showings — concentrating buyer attention instead of diluting it.
Pricing
Rather than listing the moment the home was ready, the launch was timed to a specific week based on current market trends — a deliberate call, not a default.
Negotiation
Offers came in over the open house weekend. On Monday, they were reviewed and ranked — not just by price, but by terms and reliability — and negotiated to the strongest outcome available.
The Result
Listed at $1,398,000. Sold four days later for $1,425,237 — 102% of list.
What Made the Difference
Confidence, going in, about what the number would actually be. That's what let every decision after it — the timing, the prep, the negotiation — happen without second-guessing.
Why Klahanie Expertise Matters
Klahanie isn't priced or timed like the rest of Sammamish. Knowing which week actually moves buyers, and what a Klahanie buyer specifically responds to, is the difference between a home that sits and one that's gone in four days.
Client Testimonial
"She put us in contact with a buying agent in the location we wanted to move to and we ended up buying our home in the new location first... We closed quickly and the whole process was super easy." — Peter Corazao
