This one is extra special because Joyce is my grandmother, and she’s one of the reasons I am in real estate at all. When someone with a lifetime of experience and a lifetime of options chooses you, there is no greater compliment in the world.
Selling her house was not an easy task. We listed it twice in the 2 previous years and pulled it off the market for personal reasons. These things happen, and it’s frustrating and disappointing for everyone involved. But you know what they say, 3rd time is a charm.
We made some minor updates like paint and deep carpet cleaning, re-shot photos, and updated the list price to better align with the current market. We had to lower the price to align with the current market's expectations. We had dozens of showings and 2 offers after 2 days on the market. Patience and resetting helped us so much!
We accepted an offer above ask, worked through some tenuous inspection negotiations, and closed right on time with a price she was happy with. It was such a long journey, and it couldn’t have turned out better in the end. The trust of my client (grandmother) and a great relationship with the agent on the other side made this one a true joy.
