I got a phone call today form a client who's home closed 3 weeks go. They were in Florida closing on a new home. And he was so excited he could hardly speak, but let me give you some background.
Got a phone call back in April to list this adorable little home In the Village of Warwick. The owner had been trying to sell his home for almost a year w/no luck. I did a detailed market analysis and after convincing them that the reason the home hadn't sold was because of the price. They pondered for a couple of weeks and decided to give me a try.
I marketed the heck out of this including a YouTube video. Another local homeowner,who was selling their condo, saw the video and asked their agent to take them to see it. 3 visits later we had an offer. But were my clients happy? Not really. Since I had convinced them to mark the house down, they expected to get full list price! They were even insulted with the first offer but I told them "Let's try and work with this". A couple of days later I was able to negotiate 96% of list price!! We closed a few weeks after that, but my clients had no where to go. The plan was to retire to Florida but since the first round had produced no results, they took their time looking. Thank goodness for PODS!!! They packed their belongings,closed on the house and hit the road.
The phonce call yesterday was to thank me for convincing them to take the offer. They had found the home of their dreams! Brand new, near the children and grandchildren and a place that they could finally retire too. Sometimes this business can beat the heck out of you and then there are other times that make it so satisfying!
Annually, getting together w/the girlfriends on Ladies night had always been great fun. Warwick, NY is a great place to live and work and this is one of many reasons why. Celebrating women for a night w/Shopping, food, music, and dancing. Showing off how strong women are is the Tae Kwon do demonstrations, belly dancing and all around fun. My office is conveniently located on the RR green in the center of town, So we got everyone together, pot luck'd it and enjoyed the festivities. entertaining other realotrs and clients we had a good time. Even took time out for a tatoo or two!
