Ridgeview Condo in Damascus, MD: Under Contract in less than 48 hrs

By
Real Estate Agent with Thompson Company, REALTORS® 240.593.2860 MD594797


We just listed 25901 Ridge Manor Dr, Damascus, MD 20872 Monday afternoon. Less than 48 hours later we are Under Contract!


  

Ridgeview Condo - Damascus

 

What's the secret? I'm not the boasting-type so I wont go there. This is a case of everything coming together beautifully. Our sellers took the time to prepare the home for the market. We did our homework and communicated with our clients. There were check-ins and follow-ups over the course of a few months and every question was answered promptly.

Low inventory or better no inventory: 25901 Ridge Manor Dr. was the only condo on the market in the Ridgeview subdivision. Word traveled fast and we received showing requests even before we could put on a lock box. We accommodated these requests and followed up with the agent.

The condo also happened to be a rarely available back-unit one - with gorgeous wooded views from all windows and a private patio to enjoy the serenity. The subdivision is nicely maintained and in a super location - in very close proximity to Damascus High and Damascus Elementary School as well as shops and restaurants and Damascus' Main Street.

Last, but not least, this is also a case of the right buyer at the right time! Adding all the puzzle pieces together - we were able to ratify a contract in less than 48 hours and are now looking forward to a closing by the end of April.

It is part of our business philosophy to work together with the buyer's agent. A successful road to the settlement table is a team effort! The lines of communication will remain open. Any questions will be addressed promptly and should any problems arise, we'll resolve them together and as quickly as possible.

Our loyalty lies with the seller but our goal is to not only have a happy client but to also have a happy buyer and buyer's agent, in short to make this a pleasant experience for everyone involved. We'll do everything we can to make that happen.

Andrea, this is sort of like a positive "perfect storm", when everything comes together.  Congratulations and I hope you move successfully towards a quick closing.

Congratulations Andrea!  I don't think it's happenstance - I think it's because you were so well-prepared and had all your ducks in a row before the condo went on the market.  I love your attitude  of working together with the buyer agent.  I wish all realtors had that attitude!

Hi Mona: Thank you very much! Everything is looking real good and everybody is working well together.

Hi Melissa: Thank you! If one piece of the puzzle was missing, we wouldn't be under contract already. I like to be prepared as much as possible.. that may just be the military influence in my household :-)
