05 · STRATEGIC SALES

CASE STUDY 01 · Northwest Hills · 5100 Lea Cove

Listed at $999,000 · Sold $171K Over Asking · Multiple Offers

Single-family home · 0.526-acre lot

Exterior of 5100 Lea Cove in Northwest Hills — 5100 Lea Cove · Northwest Hills

“A strategic price and a lifestyle-led presentation turned a potentially challenging sale into a multiple-offer success after one weekend.”

The home's privacy, Hill Country views, outdoor living spaces, and substantial lot were difficult to duplicate, while its unconventional floor plan and selective updates required careful positioning. I listed at $999,000, focused the marketing on the property's irreplaceable strengths, and generated immediate competition. The home sold $171K over asking and closed ahead of schedule with multiple offers.

CASE STUDY 02 · Northwest Hills · 3503 Hillbrook Circle

Sold in 9 Days · Offered at $960,000

Exterior of 3503 Hillbrook Circle in Northwest Hills — 3503 Hillbrook Circle · Northwest Hills

“By highlighting solar-powered independence, an established bird-friendly haven, and turnkey updates, a targeted marketing strategy transformed this Highland Hills sanctuary into a swift, standout sale.”

The appeal of 3503 Hillbrook Circle lay in its rare balance of energy resilience, native nature, and timeless Northwest Hills style, a combination difficult to duplicate in the Austin market. While specialized eco-features like solar panels with battery backup, a hybrid heat pump, and an established bird-friendly landscape set the home apart, fully conveying their value required a lifestyle-led presentation. By framing high-performance sustainability, turnkey interior updates, and a private wildlife haven complete with a Haikubox monitor, I generated immediate buyer enthusiasm and secured a swift, successful sale.

06 · KIND WORDS

“Patti is extremely professional and very knowledgeable. Even when she was away, she arranged for us to see homes and sent the comps and relevant documents. She and the Dochen team went above and beyond for us.”
