The action
'The owners spent a lot of time working with the builder and designers to think about the finishings, design, and layout in a very intelligent way,' Ms. Packer said.Re/Max Excellence
This three-bedroom house sits on a prime spot near MacKinnon Ravine, about six kilometres west of Edmonton’s downtown core. Agent Clare Packer expected that, priced at $1,399,900 – in a city where the median sale price for single detached homes is $450,000 – she would get only a handful of visitors. As it happened, a casual chat with another realtor led to a sale, at $59,900 under the asking price.

As it happened, a casual chat with another realtor who had a client looking for a house to buy led to a sale, at $59,900 under the asking price.
“It’s in a mature community where there aren’t a lot of cookie-cutter houses. Each home is truly unique and a different value offering,” said Ms. Packer.

“The owners spent a lot of time working with the builder and designers to think about the finishings, design, and layout in a very intelligent way,” Ms. Packer said.
“For example, they like to host big dinner parties and entertain, so they understood an open concept design was a functional layout – but didn’t want all their dirty dishes exposed.”
