I had a listing with the nicest couple. Original owners and just wonderful, wonderful people.
The house was perfect and so well-maintained.
I listed it last July.
We had a lot of showings but not one offer.
I could tell my sellers were getting anxious. They always wanted to know the exact feedback and checked in with me before I could check in with them! They didn't want to do any open houses as in our area, they just aren't popular to do anymore. You worry more about nosy neighbors and people that might steal from you!
FINALLY in March we had an offer and my sellers were thrilled. We closed the end of April and at the closing they found out the lady that bought the home knew their adult children and went to high school together and knew the same people. There was a lot of laughter at the table and updating with people they knew. It was a lot of fun for everyone.
At the end of the closing I thanked them for hiring me as their agent. I said "Thank you so much and I'm sorry it took so long to get you a buyer. But remember I told you there is only 1-2 buyers per home? The right buyer took a little longer to find your home but the right buyer bought your home."
They laughed and said I was right. She said knowing this lady bought their home made her so happy and that the right buyer was found.
I always tell my sellers that although they think hundreds of people will want to buy their home, the truth is - there are only 1 to 2 buyers that fit a home for whatever reason (location, school, money....).
Sometimes it takes 2 days to find that buyer and sometimes it takes 10 months - but that buyer IS out there that is perfect for your house! We just have to find them and they have to find us!
