Selling a Luxury Home in Highland Lakes with an Off-Market Strategy

Selling a Luxury Home in Highland Lakes with an Off-Market Strategy

5598 Twin Lakes Court | Julie R. Wills | Julie & Company | Howard Hanna

When timing, discretion, and terms matter, the right strategy is not always putting a home on the open market.

Julie R. Wills | Julie & Company | Howard Hanna successfully represented the seller of 5598 Twin Lakes Court in Highland Lakes, Westerville, securing a contract through an off-market buyer connection that aligned perfectly with the needs of an executive relocation client.

This was not a traditional sale. It was a targeted solution.


Off-Market Buyer Strategy for a Relocation Client

Executive relocation transactions require a different level of precision.

In this case, the priority was not just exposure. It was:

  • Certainty of execution
  • Clean contract terms
  • Alignment with relocation timelines
  • Minimizing disruption to the seller

Rather than relying solely on open market activity, Julie & Company leveraged internal networks and buyer relationships to identify a qualified off-market buyer.

The result was a contract that delivered exactly what the seller needed.


Why Off-Market Strategy Can Be the Right Move

While many homes benefit from full market exposure, certain situations call for a more controlled approach.

This property, located in the prestigious Highland Lakes community, offered:

  • Nearly 6,000 square feet of finished living space
  • 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms
  • Walk-out lower level
  • Cul-de-sac setting with wooded ravine and water views
  • Access to golf, clubhouse, pool, and community amenities

As reflected in the MLS data , homes of this caliber attract a specific buyer pool. The right buyer often comes from targeted outreach, not just public marketing.


How This Sale Compared to the Highland Lakes Market

At this price point in Highland Lakes:

  • Luxury homes often require extended days on market
  • Many rely on multiple showings and price adjustments

This property:

  • Secured a contract through a direct buyer match
  • Avoided unnecessary market exposure
  • Delivered terms aligned with the seller’s relocation needs

What This Means for Sellers

This was not just about selling a home. It was about:

  • Controlling the process
  • Protecting timing and privacy
  • Securing the right buyer, not just any buyer

Julie & Company focuses on fit, timing, and execution, not just exposure.

Transaction: Sold a Single Family home

We cannot recommend Julie highly enough. Her professionalism and knowledge is unmatched, and she sold our home over list in just 3 days on the market. She walked us through multiple offers and explained the pros and cons of each. She and her team were responsive, thorough, and made sure we were well taken care of.

Transaction: Sold a home

OUTSTANDING Realtor experience. We were very impressed with Julie and her team. She had her own contractors to make repairs on the property to prepare it for the market. She found buyers that came in with an offer over asking before we were even listed. Highly recommend. Her experience made the entire process a pleasure.
