How We Sold a Waikoloa Village Condo in Just 16 Days — Smart Pricing, Staging, and Marketing

In today’s real estate market, selling a condo quickly—especially in a competitive community—is no easy task. Yet, Elima Lani #1807 in Waikoloa Village sold in just 16 days, even while 9 other condos remained for sale in the same complex.

So, what made the difference? It came down to the strong partnership between myself and the seller, strategic marketing, professional staging, well-timed open houses, and smart pricing. Here’s how we made it happen:

🤝 A Strong Seller-Agent Partnership

From day one, the collaboration with the seller was focused, open, and proactive. We developed a clear strategy tailored to today’s slower condo market conditions, ensuring every decision was made to maximize the home’s appeal and create momentum as soon as it hit the MLS.

Constant communication, trust, and a shared goal made it easy to move quickly—and stay one step ahead of the competition.

📈 Strategic Marketing That Reached the Right Buyers

In a market where buyers have more options, professional marketing is more important than ever. I created a comprehensive marketing plan that included:

• High-quality photography and staging
• Targeted online advertising
• MLS exposure and cross-promotion across major real estate platforms
• Email marketing to a curated database of buyers and agents
• Social media exposure to maximize reach

Every piece of marketing was crafted to highlight the condo’s best features, from its upgraded finishes to it being sold furnished, creating a strong first impression both online and in person.

🏡 Professional Staging Made the Property Shine

Included in my services, I provided professional staging to ensure Elima Lani #1807 showed at its very best. In today’s competitive market, buyers expect a property to look move-in ready. Staging helped the condo feel fresh, bright, and welcoming—giving buyers a clear emotional connection the moment they walked through the door.

According to national real estate statistics, staged homes sell faster and for more money—and Elima Lani #1807 was a perfect example.

🗝️ Open Houses That Delivered

Hosting well-timed open houses was another key factor in generating strong buyer interest. With the right promotion and presentation, we had a strong turnout, creating urgency among interested buyers.

Open houses gave buyers a no-pressure opportunity to tour the home, envision themselves living there, and realize the value compared to other options in the complex.

💵 An Attractive and Strategic Offering Price

Pricing was the final—and crucial—ingredient. We priced Elima Lani #1807 competitively to stand out in a complex where 9 other units were also on the market.

Rather than overpricing and risking stagnation, we chose a price that reflected the condo’s condition, location, and current buyer demand. The attractive offering price generated immediate interest, leading to multiple showings and an accepted offer in just 16 days.

🌟 Five-Star Review from the Seller

Leeana is very knowledgeable about the overall market in Waikoloa Village as well as the Elima Lani condominiums where my unit was located.

 She provided a complete and understandable explanation of the selling process in Hawaii and provided a clear explanation of every facet of the sales timeline.

 She is an excellent listener and it was easy to work together to establish an appropriate listing price. Our discussions during price negotiations were focused on negotiation options and how to best achieve the best sales outcome. She was flexible in her thinking and an excellent listener.

 Additionally, she provided furniture items, artwork and decorating accents to enhance the appeal of the property. She is the best agent I have ever worked with.
