Sold! Now That Was FAST!

Actually ... a serious offer is pending, but I'm very optimistic.

My real estate coach and general business mentor, Mark Ijlal, always says, “Money Loves Speed!” and I do believe he is right. Talk about speed …. I just posted yesterday morning that my renovations are complete and that I am entering into full marketing mode. Of course, I have been marketing for weeks on Craig’s List, Zillow, and Owners.com (to name a few) but I didn’t have good pictures and walk-around video until recently when all the renovations were complete.

Well, just as I hit “publish” on my blog post yesterday morning, my phone rang. It was a young woman calling about the house and she just HAD TO SEE IT NOW! She was very considerate about the fact that it is Memorial Day weekend and she didn’t want to ruin or interrupt any of my plans, but she just had to see inside this house and she did NOT want someone else to scoop it out from under her. Now that is SPEED!

We have come to a verbal agreement as of last night and I have drafted up all the necessary paperwork. We will meet to sign on Tuesday at 6:00 pm and get things moving forward with a title company to handle all the paperwork and the closing. We are shooting for June 12 as a closing - just in time for Father’s Day! Dennis and Jennifer are really excited and, if I can get their permission, I will get a video testimonial and post it here for everyone to see.
