First-time sellers. A big move to Texas on the horizon. And an accepted offer just three days after listing. When the Boggs family decided to sell their home at 907 Hyde Court in Costa Mesa's Sommerset community, they needed a realtor who could maximize their home's value, handle every detail, and deliver results fast. Here's how we made it happen.
A Family Ready for Their Next Chapter
The Boggs family was preparing for a life-changing move to Texas. As first-time home sellers, so much of the process was new to them. They needed more than just a listing agent — they needed a partner who would walk them through every step, take full ownership of the process, and make sure they walked away with the best possible outcome.
Most agents take a few cell phone photos, post the home on the MLS, and hope for the best. The Boggs family knew I take a different approach — a well-thought-out, carefully executed marketing plan designed to attract the right buyers and generate strong offers. So we got started right away.
Every detail matters when you're trying to maximize your home's value.
Step 1: Prepping the Home to Shine
Selling a home is like showcasing a product — it needs to shine. That's why I include a complimentary deep cleaning on all my listings. My crew got started right away with a deep cleaning of every area of the home. Nothing was left untouched.
We even vacuumed the artificial grass in the backyard and pressure washed the vinyl fence. When you want a house to look and feel its best, every detail matters.
Step 2: Professional Staging for Maximum Appeal
The next step was to maximize the home's appeal to buyers by bringing in professional stagers. They transformed key spaces like the kitchen, living room, and master bedroom into warm, inviting areas that helped buyers envision themselves living there.
Thoughtful touches and attention to detail made the home stand out, creating an emotional connection with potential buyers from the moment they walked through the door.
Step 3: Professional Photography and Video
Believe it or not, some agents still take listing photos with their cell phone cameras. The truth is that 99% of buyers start their home search online, so putting out DIY photography into the world isn't going to cut it.
That's why I hire professional photographers, videographers, and 3D scanners whose only job is to make your home shine. The results are stunning, and the end result is more buyers through your front door — and that's what we want in order to generate strong offers.
Step 4: Exposure Near and Far
The marketing strategy I implemented combined local, global, and social media outreach to ensure maximum exposure for 907 Hyde Court.
- Pre-marketing: Before the property hit the public market, I pre-marketed it within my professional network, generating early buzz among qualified buyers
- Global syndication: Once listed, the property was syndicated to over 2,000 websites worldwide, reaching potential buyers locally and across the globe
- Targeted social media: I launched targeted social media campaigns using stunning professional photos and videos to capture attention and drive traffic to the listing
This multi-channel approach ensured that the home was seen by the widest possible audience, leading to multiple offers in just days.
The Result: Maximum Value for the Boggs Family
The Outcome
- Address: 907 Hyde Court, Costa Mesa (Sommerset)
- Sold Price: $979,000
- Closing Cost Savings: +$9,790
- Net to Sellers: $988,790
- Timeline: Accepted offer just 3 days after listing
- Offers: Multiple offers received
Expert Negotiation That Put More Money in Their Pocket
This transaction wasn't just about selling a home — it was about delivering real value to my clients. I saved the Boggs family $9,500 in closing costs by negotiating for the buyer to cover them.
Additionally, when the buyer requested $5,000 in credits, I worked diligently to reduce this demand significantly, ensuring the sellers retained more of their proceeds.
Beyond the numbers, I prioritized a seamless process by providing real-time updates and clear communication, keeping the Boggs family informed every step of the way. In the end, they enjoyed a stress-free sale and walked away with more money in their pocket, ready to start their new chapter in Texas.

Working with Juan Moreno was an absolute pleasure from start to finish.
