Front exterior of 1260 Manor Court, a single-story pool estate with barrel tile roof under a mature oak in Weston FloridaSold · $1,420,000

Under contract in 42 days. Closed at $1,420,000.

1260 Manor Court: a 4,084 square foot pool estate on a Tequesta cul-de-sac. Beth listed it in December, the slowest month on the real estate calendar, and had it under contract before spring sellers even called an agent.

Why it moved: nothing on this page happened by accident. The staging, the 68-photo shoot with drone work, and a list price set against real comps did the selling. That is the same playbook Beth runs on every listing, whether it is $400K or $1.4 million.

How a December listing beat the spring market

Most sellers are told to wait for spring. This sale is the counter-argument, in four moves.

1

We staged it to shine

Before a single photo, every room was styled: the formal dining room, the primary suite, the theater, the covered lanai. Buyers at this price point are buying a finished picture, and we handed them one.

2

We shot it like a magazine spread

A full professional shoot plus drone work over the pool, the lot, and the Tequesta lakes. Sixty-eight photos went to market, so the home was selling itself online before the first showing.

3

We priced it to move, not to sit

Listed at $1,499,000 in December, when million-dollar listings often stall for a spring market. Priced right against the comps, it went under contract in 42 days instead of six months.

4

We closed at $1,420,000

Negotiated to a strong contract at nearly 95 percent of list and carried it through inspection, appraisal, and a clean close on March 2. Sellers moved on their timeline, not the market’s.

The estate, by the numbers

1260 Manor Court sits on a quiet cul-de-sac in Tequesta, one of Weston’s established lake communities off Indian Trace. Built in 1990 and remodeled throughout, it was move-in ready the day it listed.

Questions sellers ask about sales like this

How long does it take to sell a million-dollar home in Weston?+
Luxury listings in Broward County routinely sit for four to six months, and price cuts follow. This home went under contract in 42 days in the slowest season of the year, December into January, because the prep, photography, and pricing were done right before it ever hit the MLS.
Does staging really matter when selling a home?+
At this price point, yes. Buyers shopping above a million dollars are comparing your home against new construction and magazine photos. Every room at 1260 Manor Court was staged before the shoot, and the home sold at nearly 95 percent of asking without languishing.
What marketing goes into a Buy Sell Diva listing?+
This sale got a full professional photo shoot, drone photography over the pool and the Tequesta lakes, and 68 finished images: enough for the MLS, the portals, and a social campaign. The listing looked like a feature story, not a for-sale ad.
When is the best time to list a home in South Florida?+
The market is strongest in late winter and spring, but a well-prepped, well-priced home sells in any month. This one listed December 9 and was under contract before many sellers had even called an agent for spring. Waiting has a cost too: carrying the home, and competing with more inventory later.
How much is my Weston home worth?+
Weston values vary block by block, and lakefront, lot size, and updates move the number six figures. Beth and Griff run a comp-based analysis using closed sales, not an automated guess. Call for a real number, or start with the seller net sheet to see what you would walk away with.
What does a listing agent actually do to earn the commission?+
On this sale: advised the prep and staging, hired the photographer and drone pilot, priced it against real comps, marketed it, negotiated the contract to $1,420,000, then managed inspection, appraisal, and closing to a clean finish. The 42-day contract was the output of all of it.
