This was the statement I was greeted with when I got over to my seller's home yesterday to deliver a copy of the executed contract on her home.  I thought to myself, have I met her daughter...have I somehow said or done something that could upset her that she wouldn't like me?  All I did was sell her mom's house in about a week...and that was the problem!  Because we went under contract so quickly, she wasn't going to be able to go visit and do her laundry and spend as much time with her mother.

In reality, she likes me just fine.  They were laughing about it a few minutes later, after the seller introduced me to her.  They really couldn't believe that the house went into contract so fast.  But, as I explained to them both...the home was in a very desirable location, in immaculate and excellent condition and priced right!  These three things assured a fast sale.

This is when I really love real estate.  When my sellers are excited to sell, motivated and willing to take suggestions about what can help sell the house quicker to heart.  I hope they enjoy the new place they are going to, but I am glad they gave me the opportunity to sell their home.
