Willoughby Ohio Home For Sale - Seller’s Words To Me

I Got the Sweetest Phone Call from a Willoughby

Ohio Home Seller.

About a year ago I sold their Willoughby Ohio Home and it was hard on them. It was a Senior couple who had lived in the home for over 40 years - original kitchen - original baths. To say the least it was vintage 1960 ish

It was an emotional time for the husband as his wife was ill

and the reason they needed to sell is they had to move to assisted living for her needs. The family was literally moving the wife/mother to

the assisted living place straight from the hospital. And of course having to sell your home because it

is simply getting to be too much is hard on the heart. So my time with the husband and wife was a bit stressful.

Their daughter is who originally called me - she came to me through a referral and she was the child which everything fell upon. Through the process of listing and selling their Willoughby Oh Home for Sale, I spent a lot of time with her and made a wonderful connection. She was great at communicating to her parents how it really is and helping them to make good solid decisions that ultimately lead to the sale of their home.

I was able to get their Willoughby Ohio Home for Sale under contract and closed in 2 months.

As you might imagine the Senior Couple was not quite ready emotionally to really let go and sell their Willoughby Oh Home For Sale, so it was a little dicey and their daughter was a huge help in keeping everything running smoothly.

Of course when the house transferred the Senior Couple and daughter thanked me profusely for helping them sell, but the Sweetest Phone Call is the one made months later - and this call is almost a year later.

It was such a pleasant and welcome surprise when I answered my phone yesterday from the daughter and parents saying they were thinking of me and wanted to express their gratitude for all that I did for them, my patience and my empathy to their situation and needs. They called me their little angel.

It is a good feeling when I can get a Willoughby Oh Home for Sale Sold, but a phone call like this one touches a core and secures my determination to be ever mindful that their is a person behind every Willoughby Ohio Home for Sale and tending to their needs first will result in everything going in the right direction.
