The Story: “I listed the property for a lovely older couple. The home was beautiful, but in original condition. Furniture was sparse for the size of the home. Since my decorator items were in storage while our home was being renovated, the sellers allowed me to hang paintings and stage the house with my own things. I sold the house at a Sunday open and the sellers were so pleased they actually sent me a ‘thank you’ letter and an additional $1,500.00 check. MY FIRST TIP! I sold the house again in 2010 for $2.8 million. I love that house and my job!”

The Home: 3613 Alhambra Court, Coral Gables
