Glanton had trouble selling a 5,100-square-foot home with seven bedrooms.

She had an "aha moment" and repositioned the property as a multi-generational home .

Offers arrived within 24 hours, and Glanton is awaiting closing later this month.

It was getting frustrating.

Despite at least 20 showings of my listing in suburban Philadelphia, no one made an offer.

We put the 5,100-square-foot Tudor-style property, built in 1925, on the market in April 2026.

I hoped it would sell relatively quickly for the $1m asking price.
