Unfortunately the owner of the home passed away in the fall. His son regularly came to the area to, of course visit his father and to check on the house. As the son checked on the house and leafed through the mail he saw my marketing pieces and invited me to meet him toward the end of January. We talked about the house, the local market, what I suggested should be done to the home and whether we would be a good fit for each other.
Two days later he gave me the key to the house as well as to the car in the driveway---in case it needed to be moved for any reason and I managed the agreed upon home repairs over the next weeks. It was tricky because we were having 1 contractor take care of interior and exterior work while there was uneven weather, and understandably the contractor wanted to make the most efficient use of his time and come to the house when work could be done simultaneously inside and outside of the home. At the same time, the contractor knew I wanted the house to go on the market right after President's Day Weekend and I needed to give the photographer enough lead time to take pictures without falling behind schedule. Thank goodness the contractor did a great job and we were ready to go to market by our target date.
A few days before going to market, the owner's son and I talked. I told him the work was done, the home looked ready to go, I was ready to put it on the market and gave him a final suggestion on what price we should list the home at.
The home went on the market the Thursday morning after President's Day Weekend and I we had 8 showing requests that first day!
We had amazing traffic on the home the entire weekend including...
AT LEAST 20 GROUPS WHO SIGNED IN AT THE SUNDAY OPEN HOUSE!!!
Three agents contacted me and asked if their buyers could have home inspections prior to writing offers to eliminate any inspection contingencies in their offers.
I went to bed that Wednesday night with 9 offers in hand and a very detailed spread sheet of the offers for my seller to review. Overnight the terms of some offers changed, a few more offers were submitted and there were more more showing requests.
The seller's son and I met late Thursday morning and he had a very difficult decision. We had a few really good offers over asking price and 2 offers had no contingencies at all ---no inspection, financing or appraisal contingencies! Just a clear path to closing.
He thought over the offers and by Thursday night we were under contract and I had a few happy seller.
I am so grateful that my marketing efforts worked as they resulted in an introduction that I might have never received. I never met or was referred to the late owner or his son. Upon meeting we immediately connected. He had complete confidence, trust and faith with everything I planned to do to give him sold results. He was there whenever a question needed to be asked, whenever I followed up and he never tried to "manage me".
In addition to marketing, I attribute so much of the success to date on the listing on the owner's son being enthusiastic, trusting, confident in me and giving me the liberties to do what I thought was best and, again, I will say without him every trying to be on top of me or managing me. We are under contract and hopefully will go to a smooth contract.
