Brockville, ON

After 2 years on the market and 6 different offers, 1373 Briarwood Drive in Brockville has SOLD !

That's the good news. The Sellers agreed to a Dec 10th closing date.

The Buyers had looked at this home almost 2 years ago but couldn't get their own home sold. When they finally had a solid buyer they approached my Sellers after they had taken down their sign and had decided to not sell until they did some upgrades in the spring.

We all sat around the dining room table on Wed evening and worked out an acceptable sale price, etc. and together we put up the SOLD sign.

Everyone left the table happy and then it hit my Sellers - they didn't have a home to move to!!

After some hectic scrambling yesterday, we found the perfect place for them . . . a home that has been waiting for a new owner for more than 4 years!

What are the odds that those Sellers could move in less than a month? Well, we signed the papers this afternoon and I drove home in such a glorious mood - good things happen to good people. All three families have been waiting far longer than normal to get on with their lives and today it happened and I couldn't be happier! It is for days like this that I stay in this business!
