3 weeks ago I receieved a call from an agent from MA who owns a home here in Lehigh and who's Mom wanted to buy a home in Whiskey Creek. He said he was calling around to listing agents getting prices, doing drive bys...
I offered to partner up with him and help them scour the market. Told him I would be happy to show him everything in Whiskey Creek to find her the right home. We all met later that afternoon and looked at 3 homes. I brought a CMA showing everything in the development. Over the next few days we tore the entire neighborhood apart. We looked at everything in there that had the size and the pool. We wrote a few offers. We found one that was quite nice....Nice cabinets..nice counters...bathrooms nice...living area all tiled...split floor plan..AWESOME pool w/ hot tub, FIREPLACE.....SWEET house.
As an agent you know once you see xyz houses when you find a diamond.
Educating buyers on market value is critical if they are to make informed decisions. We went over 6 months of sales data to come up with the dollars per square foot on average that homes sell for in that neighborhood. Then we compared the value in condition of the subject compared to the rest of the listings we had looked at.
My customer got the diamond.
When got the short sale approval letter from the sellers agent we ordered the home inspection. I met the inspector and my buyer at the home. She was excited...told me she didnt remember it being this nice.
I met my customer at the property this morning to "deliver" the home to her I dont think she could have been happier. She insisted we take a picture together of me handing her the keys. First time for that. I didn't remind her but of course didn't protest. We took two pictures...she's such a nice lady..I am glad she got the awesome house and loves it.
I love the feeling of a job well done. NOTHING makes me happier than a happy customer. I made a new friend and a client for life.
Big thanks and huge hugs to, if you are reading this: The listing agent ...Tina you were great about keeping in contact and helping get the addendums done fast, it's wonderful to work with another professional who is dedicated and easy to communicate with. My trusted attorney Jack who represented my buyer in this transaction, my buyer told me how impressed she was on the depth of your research and how you worked out some issues you found on the name search......the former tenant who was so gracious about the showing the inspection and safekeeping my customers camera she left behind when we did the inspection....Christian first time working with you as an inspector, great job! Last but not least the Sellers title company who did a great job of working with my buyers attorney and coordinating all the details.
