How Did 4140 Battersea Road Sell So Quickly in Coconut Grove?

The Vision Behind the Sale

Selling a luxury home in Coconut Grove is never just about putting a sign in the yard. It requires deep market knowledge, strategic planning, and the kind of local expertise that only Riley Smith Group brings to the table. When the sellers of 4140 Battersea Road entrusted our team with their tropical Grove retreat, we knew the property had all the right ingredients—location, design, and lifestyle appeal.

Our mission? Present the home to a national and international audience with a strategy that matched its unique charm and architectural character.

Bringing the Property to Life

From the very first showing, it was clear this home would strike an emotional chord. With its lush greenery, open-air layout, and serene, Bali-inspired backyard, 4140 Battersea offered more than just a place to live—it was an invitation to experience the Coconut Grove lifestyle.

Despite the challenges of Miami’s unpredictable fall weather, our very first open house was hosted during a heavy downpour. Maria, one of our seasoned agents, remained confident and prepared. To her surprise, over a dozen groups showed up, umbrellas in hand, including the future buyers.

Our Marketing Strategy

Selling a home in Coconut Grove means appealing to a discerning buyer pool who values privacy, design, and proximity to nature. For 4140 Battersea Road, our marketing strategy included:

• High-impact photography and cinematic video tours
• Aerial drone footage to showcase the lush canopy and walkability of Coconut Grove
• Targeted digital and print campaigns through Compass and exclusive platforms
• Private showings and guided tours designed to tell the home’s story

Our team positioned the property not just as a home, but as a lifestyle—an essential tactic when marketing luxury homes in Miami.

Finding the Right Buyer

The eventual buyers had traveled all the way from Rhode Island and first walked through the property at that very first open house. Even in the rain, they felt an instant connection. Although the home went under contract soon after, Maria kept in touch with the couple as they continued their home search in Miami.

When that initial deal fell through, it opened the door for a second chance. The buyers acted quickly. They were captivated by the lush landscaping, tropical design, and the indoor-outdoor flow that defines Coconut Grove living. For them, 4140 Battersea Road was the perfect place to trade snowy winters for year-round sunshine.

The Results

4140 Battersea Road is now officially sold—a win for both seller and buyer. This seamless transaction is a prime example of how strong agent relationships, continuous communication, and deep market knowledge can deliver exceptional outcomes.

Key results:

• Strong buyer interest from the first open house
• Successful navigation of a deal fallout and re-contracting
• Smooth closing process coordinated on both sides

The new owners are thrilled to call Coconut Grove home, and the sellers walked away knowing their property was represented with care, skill, and strategy.
