Just Closed: How We Secured a Richardson Duplex for $150K Under Asking

🎉 Just Closed: How We Secured a Richardson Duplex for $150K Under Asking

In a market where many believe deals are few and far between, this win proves that strategy, timing, and persistence still matter.

We recently helped a client purchase a duplex in Richardson, TX that was originally listed for $1,000,000. After thoughtful planning and several rounds of negotiation, we closed the deal at $850,000 — that’s $150,000 under the original asking price.

But this wasn’t your typical one-and-done offer.

We submitted three different offers over the course of a month before finally locking it down. Here's how we did it — and what buyers can learn from the process.

🧠 Smart Real Estate Strategy in Action

When the property first hit the market, the seller’s price was aggressive — and we knew it. Instead of rushing in with a high offer, we took a measured approach, making an initial offer that reflected the current market reality.

That first offer didn’t land.
Neither did the second.

But each time, we gathered more insight — how long it had been sitting, how many showings it had, what kind of activity it was getting, and how the seller was responding.

By the third offer, the timing was right. Inventory was up, buyer traffic slowed slightly, and the seller became more receptive. We crafted a clean, compelling offer — and it was accepted.

🔍 Why This Matters for Buyers Right Now

Many buyers assume they have to rush, overpay, or settle in today’s market. That’s simply not the case — if you have the right strategy.

Here’s what this deal shows:

• You can still get under-asking deals, even in competitive markets like DFW.

• Multiple offers over time (with the right pacing) can soften a seller’s stance.

• A strategic advisor—one who knows how to time the market, read seller motivation, and stay persistent—can make a six-figure difference.

🏘️ Why Richardson, TX?

Richardson continues to be one of the most in-demand areas for investment properties in North Texas. With strong schools, an educated workforce, and proximity to Dallas, it’s a prime location for duplexes and multifamily opportunities.
