Get Your Home Sold Above Asking Price in 2026

By James and Katie Boyle

James and Katie Boyle are a dedicated real estate duo with over 25 years of experience, specializing in Cape May and Atlantic Counties.

Selling a home can feel stressful. Maybe you’re worried your house won’t attract buyers, or that you’ll have to settle for less than you hoped. We see this a lot, and over the years, we’ve helped many sellers apply what we know works in the market to get the most for their homes.

Results we’re proud of. We’ve helped sellers achieve some impressive results. For example:

• In Egg Harbor Township, two homes on Gunpowder Road sold for $40,000 and $20,000 over asking.
• Another home in the same area sold for $15,000 above the asking price.
• One of our most memorable successes was in Ocean City, New Jersey. An out-of-town agent thought the house should sell for $1.7 million, but after we applied our full marketing strategy, the seller earned $250,000 more than expected.

These aren’t one-time wins. They are the result of a proven, careful approach we use with every home we list.

Here’s how we do it.

1. Smart pricing and positioning. We don’t just put a number on a property. We strategically position it with an attractive and sometimes aggressive price to create urgency. When buyers see a well-priced home, more of them come through the door. That competition is exactly what drives offers above asking.

2. Making your home shine. A home that looks great naturally attracts more buyers. That’s why we focus on presentation. We help with:

• Staging rooms to highlight space and flow
• Arranging furniture for a clean and welcoming look
• Adding small finishing touches that make a big impression

We also use high-quality photos and drone videos to showcase the home online. Plus, we write descriptions that tell a story about the house so buyers can picture themselves living there.

3. Getting the word out. Even the best-looking home won’t sell if buyers don’t know about it. That’s why we focus on exposure.

We don’t just list your home on the usual sites. We:

• Share it with our database of over 20,000 contacts
• Post it on major real estate websites
• Reach out to local neighborhoods and nearby agents
• Connect with agents in surrounding towns

This ensures no potential buyer is missed.

4. Guiding you through the process. Selling a home can be stressful, but we stay hands-on every step of the way. We are:

• Responsive, answering questions quickly
• Communicative, keeping you updated
• Involved, making sure everything goes smoothly from listing to closing

Our clients often tell us they appreciate this guidance and attention, and it’s part of how we consistently deliver strong results.

Our goal: more money and less stress. We want to help you get the most money for your home while keeping the process smooth and stress-free.

With the right pricing, presentation, exposure, and guidance, selling your home above asking price isn’t just possible. It’s something we do regularly, and we’ve proven it time and again.
