Today was an unusual day in the wonderful world of real estate. I have a short sale property that I listed August 1st. It's had quite a few showings; but lack of feedback from the agents and calls had me worried this property may not sell as quickly as I'd hoped. Well, apparently a memo went out over the weekend that I wasn't aware of...
First I received a call from an agent that said his client would like to place an offer and that they'd be sending it at about 2 o'clock today. He faxed it right at two... Literally, as the fax was coming through I received an email from another agent stating she had an interested client and asked if the property had any offers...
I let that agent know that an offer was being received as I typed my response back to her and if her client was interested please let me know as quickly as possible because I planned to submit the package to the bank tomorrow...
About 15 minutes after I sent that particular email I received a phone call...
ANOTHER agent asking 
about the property and whether or not there were any offers. I explained to him that there was an offer that had been submitted today in addition to another agent that mentioned they had an interested buyer...I also let him know that I planned to submit the package tomorrow and if his client was interested in submitting an offer, please let me know as quickly as possible....
He called me back and said he'd be sending an offer over tomorrow morning...
So did I miss the memo today? It's like the planets were perfectly aligned...It's so odd that I get three interested parties in the same day...Technically in the same hour....after two months on the market. How's that for a series of fortunate events?
They are all first time home buyers so lets hope the bank will cooperate and help make this deal happen in time for the buyer to claim the tax credit!
