Falling in Love with a home

By
Real Estate Agent

Few months ago I was contacted by someone who found my site by Google Search.  I was impressed he said that each time he searched; I came up at the top, so he decided to give me a call. 

He was looking to buy in Barrie and currently lived in Toronto.  He gave me his must-haves, and his price range and we set the time to meet over the weekend to view several properties that I was able to find for him.

Weekend came and he arrived with his girlfriend.  Each home I showed them had most if not all of the items on his list and yet… we couldn’t “put a finger on it”.  Something was missing… the WOW factor was not there. 

To make the matters worst, quite quickly it became evident that those two people had a drastically different taste and quite frankly I could not imagine how I will ever find a home that they will both love.

After seeing 8 homes that day, quite tired we were heading back to the office.  Driving through one of the older neighbourhoods, where I spend most of my time, due to my kid’s activities… I heard a quiet “this is nice” from the back seat.

Now, “this” was nowhere near where they wanted to be, homes were about 30 years older than the ones we’ve seen that day and prices were… substantially higher here.

But there was this thought in the back of my head: “I know someone in my office has this amazing listing here, what if…?”  I pulled over and called my office.  Within 5 minutes (!) our Super Secretary, called me back with the lock box combination.

I opened the front door and my Clients… FELL in LOVE!

I could not get them out of there!  They loved absolutely everything about the home and the fact that it was listed at over $90K above their initial price bracket… was not an issue.  Or so I thought…

Showings are tiresome sometimes but it is fun and exciting. Good thing they found a house though you have a long day with them. Individuals has different taste even though they are a couple which we have to consider. It is a part of business. Well lets keep rolling in..
