My name is Grant Dolby, co-founder of Dolby Haas Real Estate Solutions. I’ve spent decades helping Colorado sellers get results, especially when a home is hard to price, hard to market, or other brokers couldn’t get it done.
I started in 1987 selling HUD foreclosures in one of the toughest economies in the country. By 30, I was running offices for Coldwell Banker. Later, Keller Williams recruited me to rebuild their struggling Broadway office, and within 36 months we turned it into one of the top-producing brokerages in the nation, averaging about 100 closings a month. After that, I partnered with Phil Haas at RE/MAX Masters, where we became the #1 team in what was the top-producing RE/MAX office in North America.
Today, we’re independent and built for one thing: problem-solving and execution. I’ve sold thousands of homes across the Denver metro area, including hundreds that other brokers couldn’t move. And we back it with our Cancel Anytime Guarantee, because great service shouldn’t come with handcuffs.
How We Position Your Home for Maximum Success
Your home at 1680 Magnolia St, Denver (South Park Hill) is the kind of property that requires strategy, interpretation, and controlled exposure, not a “post it and pray” MLS entry.
This is a timeless 1940 brick home on an oversized ~9,150 sq ft lot, with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and roughly 1,433–1,440 sq ft, plus features buyers love (fireplace, dining room, bright garden/sun room, strong architectural details).
Homes like this don’t sell based only on bedrooms and baths. They sell based on story + land value + expansion potential + buyer psychology.
Below is the exact process we’ll use:
Why It Hasn’t Sold Yet
After reviewing the public listing history, the story is pretty clear:
1) The market pushed back on the original pricing
The home launched at $699,000, then reduced to $670,000, and is now around $627,000.
That pattern trains buyers to wait. Even serious buyers start thinking, “If I like it, I’ll watch it.”
2) This is a “buyer-type” property, not a “mass-market” property
A 2/1 in Park Hill can absolutely sell, but it sells fastest when it’s positioned to the right buyer:
If the marketing doesn’t speak to that buyer clearly, traffic gets noisy and conversion stays low.
3) The listing needs a controlled relaunch, not more days on market
Once days on market build, you don’t outrun it with price cuts alone. You reset it with:
What Makes This Property Stand Out
This is what the market needs to “get” quickly:
These are real strengths. The strategy is making buyers see the upside clearly and act.
My Marketing System (and How We Reset the Narrative)
A. Pre-Marketing / Off-MLS Launch
Before the MLS does what it does, we syndicate and test the listing across the buyer platforms that drive real traffic:
We measure buyer response fast: views, saves, inquiries, showings, and which price points trigger action.
B. Media and Story That Fits the Buyer
For Magnolia, the story is not “just a 2/1.” The story is:
That means professional photography, a clear visual sequence, and messaging that frames the opportunity correctly.
C. Broker-to-Broker Promotion
Park Hill is agent-driven. We push directly to agents with buyers who want:
D. Weekly Analytics & Adjustments
You’ll see weekly reporting on:
We adjust quickly based on real behavior, not opinions.
Pricing Strategy for 1680 Magnolia
Because the home has already stepped down from $699K → $670K → $627K, the next move needs to be strategic, not reactive.
My approach:
The goal is to stop the bleeding on days-on-market and convert attention into offers.
Next Steps
If you’re open to discussing the path forward, I’d be happy to walk you through:
You don’t need to commit. The first step is simply a conversation.
I’m here when you’re ready, hope to talks soon...
