If you’ve ever thought about selling your luxury home in Poway—or anywhere in San Diego—this story is for you.
At Team Kolker Wendlandt, we believe remarkable homes deserve remarkable representation. That means strategic pricing, precision preparation, and marketing that hits the mark from day one. Our recent sale of 13752 Paseo Valle Alto, the largest home ever listed in Green Valley Estates, is a powerful example of how the right approach makes all the difference.
Preparation Meets Precision
Before the first showing, we made sure every detail was handled. Our upfront strategy included:
-
Full home and roof inspections
-
Pool resurfacing and equipment quotes
-
HVAC, termite, mold, and plumbing/electrical evaluations
-
Vendor coordination for necessary repairs
-
Appraiser verification of square footage and update with County Recorder
-
A detailed project timeline to manage it all seamlessly
This proactive approach positioned the home as a turn-key opportunity for buyers—and built immediate trust.
Compass Private Exclusive: Our Strategic Advantage
We launched the property as a Compass Private Exclusive, giving us a chance to:
-
Test pricing without accruing public Days on Market
-
Tap into Compass’ luxury buyer network (the largest in San Diego County)
-
Collect real-time buyer feedback before going live
The insights we gained helped us fine-tune our public launch, leading to a quick and confident escrow.
When Pricing Misses the Mark: A Cautionary Tale
Compare that to a nearby listing at 15835 El Camino Entrada, which:
-
Spent 11 months on the market
-
Had 3 price reductions
-
Changed agents during the listing
-
Sold for 10% under its final asking price
This home was beautifully remodeled, but pricing misalignment cost the sellers valuable time and money.
Poway’s Luxury Market by the Numbers
In the last two years in Poway:
-
Just 9 homes over 8,000 sq ft sold
-
Median size: 9,926 sq ft
-
Median sale price: $4.6M
-
Top sale: $6.8M (in The Heritage, under 10,000 sq ft with extensive upgrades)
Even spectacular homes have a ceiling. Overpricing often leads to chasing the market down rather than leading it.
