01 · Value snapshot

Market value today: $230,000 – $270,000

Working estimate for ordinary, livable, serviceable condition — typical updates, not a showcase renovation. Not a formal appraisal or locked list price.

Qualifications (unchanged)
Seller-reported 2022 gut remodel and downstairs 1-bedroom efficiency are not independently verified. No dollar uplift and no legal ADU assumption until walkthrough confirms finish quality, permits, septic bedroom capacity, egress, and measurable square footage. Basement area from older cards is not treated as verified finished GLA. The $374,000 sale at 784 Eastern is a superior-condition ceiling reference — not a promise of after-repair value for 1058 today.

The strategy if you list

From Jon Hyatt’s listing presentation 14-Day Strategic Cycle. Proposed if we proceed under a listing agreement — not binding until paperwork is signed. Results are never guaranteed.

1

Prepare and position

Walk the home and photograph what buyers will see. Confirm remodel and efficiency facts before marketing copy. Stay in the $230k–$270k band while condition reads ordinary livable; revisit after verification. Home-prep partners (including SI Associates) are optional and separate from listing representation.

2

Days 1–3 — Asset creation

Professional high-definition photography, 3D virtual tours, and staging consultation so the property shines before launch.

3

Days 4–6 — Market saturation

MLS launch across major platforms, targeted social media advertising, and email blasts to a curated list of active buyers.

4

Day 7+ — Engagement

Open houses, private showings, and real-time lead tracking to see whether digital interest becomes physical traffic.

5

Every 14 days — Performance review

Re-evaluate click-through rate, showings, and offer velocity. If benchmarks are missed, adjust price positioning, photography, or channels immediately so the listing does not stagnate.

Tailored to your plan

Launch timed to the Orrington modular timeline — not a generic calendar.

Truthful marketing

Copy and photos wait on verified remodel/efficiency facts.

Honest positioning

Ordinary livable band until inspection supports a different story; 784 Eastern is reference only.

What this is not

Not a signed listing, guarantee, formal appraisal, live portal, or ADU/legal advice.

06 · Move forward
