Today, I closed a chapter with a very special client who recently faced the heartbreaking loss of his spouse. While it’s never easy to move on from memories built together in a home they loved, he took a brave step forward towards a new beginning.
When we first met we discussed his plans to move forward and what the timing looked like. He had a home that he wanted to make an offer on that would be contingent on his home selling, and quickly. In this market, contingent offers work, but the sellers need to be ready to list their home, typically within 5 days of a contingent offer being mutually accepted. In this case, my clients home was better than show ready. I quickly gathered my team, including photographer, videographer, sign installers and transaction coordinator and we went to work. The home was listed and we were under contract in less than 24 hours. We closed at 103.45% of list price!
I feel deeply honored to have been trusted with the sale of their cherished home, and I’m immensely proud of him for the courage it took to embrace this change. It’s a bittersweet farewell to a home filled with love and memories, but also a hopeful hello to new opportunities and adventures. Wishing him all the strength and happiness in this new chapter of his life.
