How We Sold 224 Lost Creek Court in 30 Days

The Power of Relationships in Wilden Real Estate

Every home in Wilden has its own story — and so does every sale. Some properties move because of timing, others because of strategy. This one? It sold because of relationships.

When I took on 224 Lost Creek Court, I knew immediately that this wasn’t just about marketing — it was about connection. The home had been on the market for a while, and neighbours were starting to wonder what was taking so long. It was a beautiful custom rancher backing onto green space — the kind of home that should attract strong interest in Wilden’s upper market.

But like many high-end listings, it needed the right buyer — and the right relationships to reach them.

A Closer Look at the Property

224 Lost Creek Court was a standout from day one. Built in 2014, the home offered over 3,100 square feet across two levels with four bedrooms and four bathrooms, including a fully self-contained one-bedroom suite with its own yard and entrance.

Perched on a quiet cul-de-sac, it backed directly onto protected green space — offering privacy and a connection to nature that buyers love about Wilden.

Inside, it featured premium touches throughout:

• A chef’s kitchen with quartz countertops and a walk-in pantry

• Heated floors in the primary ensuite

• Custom cabinetry and upgraded finishes

• An epoxy-coated garage floor and hot-tub wiring already in place

The house was exceptional — it just needed the right visibility and a reason for qualified buyers to act.

Resetting the Strategy

When I stepped in, my focus wasn’t just on listing photos or copy; it was on repositioning the property within the market. That meant three things:

1. Re-introducing the listing with updated marketing materials and renewed energy.

2. Tapping into my personal agent network — professionals who already trust my listings and know the quality of my properties.

3. Opening private channels of communication where top buyers’ agents share active client needs.

While many homes are sold through traditional advertising, I’ve learned that in Wilden’s upper-tier market, the right network often outperforms any online campaign.

Where the Deal Came From

Within a few weeks, one of those trusted colleagues reached out. They had a buyer searching specifically for a Wilden walk-out with suite potential — and because of our working relationship, they called me directly before submitting an offer anywhere else.

That connection made all the difference. Without it, the buyer might have moved on to another property — and 224 Lost Creek Court could still be sitting on the market today.

We negotiated a strong, clean offer and reached an agreement in just 30 days.

This was one of those transactions that reminds me how valuable local relationships truly are. The deal wasn’t about luck — it was about trust built over time within the industry.

What Sellers Can Learn from This

Every Wilden home sale has a unique reason it succeeds. In this case, the deciding factor wasn’t a price drop or flashy marketing campaign — it was leverage.

When your agent is deeply connected within the community, you gain access to:

• Private buyer networks that aren’t visible online

• Early communication with active agents and relocation clients

• Faster traction when momentum matters most

That’s why Wilden sellers choose experience and network depth over volume advertising. When your agent knows who to call — not just how to post — you win faster and with better terms.

The Result

After weeks of uncertainty, this home now has a happy buyer and a relieved seller — and a story worth sharing. It’s proof that in a market where data and AI matter, relationships still close the deal.

If you’re thinking about selling your home in Wilden, the key may not be another open house — it might be the right connection.
