Just sold a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo in University Towers, before it hit the market!

I just sold this 2 bedroom, 2 bath condominium unit in University Towers, a high rise condominium unit in Silver Spring, MD. Before it even hit the market.  University Towers is located near the intersection of University Blvd. and Arcola Ave. 

I called the owner, who I heard was going to sell, asked the owner to confirm and then set up a showing for my buyer.  After a little negotiating we had a signed contract.

Congratulations to all parties!

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.  

Whether you, a family member, friend or colleague at work is thinking about moving, has a real estate question or wants to talk about the market, please pass my contact information to them.  The best way to reach me is by cell/text/whatsapp:  (301)943-4370 or adambashein@gmail.com.  I would love to meet them, appreciate your referrals.

Life is good!

Sold in Downtown Spring, MD in The Orion Condominium Community!

I just sold this  condominium unit to a family who is downsizing. 

It would also be a great home for a first time home buyer.  The condo is a lovely 1 bedroom plus guest room and 2 full baths.

The Orion Condominium community is relatively new as, according to apartmenthomeliving.com, it was constructed in Downtown Silver Spring, MD. in 2012.  I admire the layout of the condominium unit which my clients purchased, specifically having a separate dining area.   The condo has a very open feel to it.  The home also features a full size washer/dryer.

In the common areas, there  is a workout center.  There are great views from the roof top of the building, which also  has a park like and zen feel.

With the many local conveniences, you rarely need to use your car.  

You are close to metro, public buses and to Washington, DC.

If you have a car, there are places nearby to rent spots from and there is street parking (mostly with meters) for guests.

The Orion is a great condominium community that I would keep my eyes on if I were in the market to buy a home in Downtown Silver Spring and if I was thinking about buying a condominium unit in Washington, DC, as it is just a few block from the district line.

If you know any family members, friends or colleagues who are thinking about relocating, I would love to help them out.  I am licensed in MD and DC.  Even if they aren't looking but ever have real estate questions, please pass my contact information to them.  I would love to hear from them, always appreciate and have time for your referrals.

Life is good!

1005 North Belgrade Road! Another home sale in Kemp Mill, subdivision in Silver Spring, MD...tied to the appraisal of another home

I was honored and delighted to help a client recently complete the purchase of this 4 bedroom and office plus 2.5 bath rambler style home at 1005 North Belgrade Road in Kemp Mill Estates, a subdivision in Silver Spring, MD.  My client was referred to me.

 Most home sales have an interesting wrinkle and this one was no different.  In order for my client to complete the purchase of this home, there had to be what is known as a cash out refinance on another home.  Another home went through a refinance and had to appraise at a certain value in order for the buyer to have sufficient funding to buy this new home.  There was a challenge with the original appraisal of that home and I offered to meet another appraiser at the home to use my real estate expertise to show the appraiser where I came up with the value, hoping that the appraiser would agree with me.  I am a Silver Spring and Kemp Mill real estate expert so I was very confident in offering my assistance on meeting the appraiser in relation to the refinance cash out. Without this appraisal I wouldn't have been able to sell my client the new home.  In summary, in order to move, my buyer needed 2 homes to appraise.

Fortunately the appraiser agreed with me on the value of the home being refinanced and my buyer's new home also appraised fine, so my buyer was able to complete the purchase.  

Buying and selling a home is a complex process, often containing unique circumstances and/or criteria in order for the transactions to be successful. That is why it is so vital for home buyers and sellers to recognize the expertise and value of realtors and why I pride myself on being full service.  When you are looking to move, you need to look at the value as well as the cost of realtors and understand how he or she is going to help you through one of the biggest purchases/sales of your life.

Any time you hear of anyone, whether it is family, friends or colleagues say that they are thinking of  buying or selling a home, think of me and tell them I will give a free and confidential consultation.

Even if they aren't in the market to move but have real estate questions, have them contact me at (301)943-4370 or adambashein@gmail.com.  And, if they are out of town, I know agents around the globe and refer clients to them.   I am here to help ensure a smooth move and always have time for your referrals.

Life is good!
