270 Andrew St wasn’t the problem. The story needed to be sharper.
A Stratford ranch with a finished basement, second kitchen, paid-off solar panels, central air, and commuter access should feel like a flexible lifestyle opportunity — not just another listing competing for attention.

The home had the right ingredients. The issue was making buyers understand the value fast enough.
The buyer story was too quiet
This home speaks to multi-generational living, commuters, and value-focused families.
The value stack needed framing
Paid-off solar, a second kitchen, finished basement, central air, and garage parking support the price.
The digital campaign needed more force
This property needed a dedicated website, video strategy, social hooks, ads, and follow-up.
