Just Sold: 116 River Oaks Court ($949,000) — $50K Under Asking & A Journey of Patience

Some home searches are quick, but the most rewarding ones take time, market knowledge, and knowing when not to settle. We are thrilled to celebrate the successful closing of 116 River Oaks Court in Durango, sold at $949,000 ($50,000 below the original asking price)!

The Journey to Finding "The One"

Working with these wonderful buyers over several months was a masterclass in staying focused on long-term value:

• 15 Property Tours: We explored every angle of the Durango market to ensure we understood true neighborhood values.
• Knowing When to Walk Away: After looking at nine homes, we put an offer on a property. But during due diligence, it became clear it wasn't the right fit. Terminating that contract wasn't easy, but protecting our clients' best interests always comes first.
• A Mid-Search Reset: The buyers hit pause and took a planned trip rafting down the Colorado River.
• Finding the Match & Negotiating: They returned to Durango with fresh eyes. In our next round of showings, we walked into 116 River Oaks Court—it checked every box on their list, and we successfully negotiated $50,000 off the asking price!
