CASE STUDY: Turning Setbacks Into Success: A $2.2M McLean Sale Story

When the original homeowners of this stunning McLean property reached out to The Haven Group, they were feeling overwhelmed. After decades in the home, there was simply too much stuff and too many moving pieces to manage. They needed more than just a listing agent; they needed a partner to guide them through a complex transition with precision, care, and expertise.

Our Approach:

We started with a strategic plan: ✔️ Created a timeline to coordinate movers, contractors, and professional staging ✔️ Assisted with decluttering and prioritizing updates that would deliver a strong return ✔️ Prepped and launched the property with premium marketing materials

Then—just as the first buyers were completing their home inspection—disaster struck.

A major rainstorm caused unexpected flooding in the basement. Lesser agents might have panicked but not us. Within an hour, we had a restoration team onsite. We immediately brought in erosion control and drainage experts, managed all contractor communications, and ensured the home was restored quickly and properly.

The result? After brief time off the market, we relaunched the listing and it went under contract again in just 9 days.
