First and foremost Merry Christmas to everyone who is celbrating. I promiced myself I wouldn't write a real estate blog dealing with real estate but circumstances has changed. First remember I do not actually celbrate the holiday. I am planning on a very quiet day with my hubby and youngest son (who is recovering from the crud).
It started in late Octber. I was reccomended by a former client at Parents weekend (they let me know). The son calls me and states what his father wants. I take him to see some houses. He likes some and then the family prepares a very low bid. The one they want gets away (well we did have a backup offer at full price but it sold). After waiting for something appropriate to come on the market I raised the price criteria a bit and found the perfect place for the college student and his friends.
The day we went into escrow the client (dad) told me that he wanted to buy himself a second home and wanted the best. This sort of thing doesn't happen to me. He comes for the inspection and he loves the home and we go looking for the second home. He settles on the idea of a very upscale condo and goes back home to California. It was a fun day. He told me he was going to wait until late January.
Yesterday afternoon he calls me with some questions about the condo. He is thinking of making a bid. I tell him truthfully that you never know what they will accept unless you offer where you want to pay first. He tells me he might make the offer later in the week. Last night on Christmas eve at 8:53 PM I get a text message to write the offer. I will write the offer but I think that nothing will be done quickly being that it is Christmas.
We hope to close the other deal on January 3. Do you think my client is Santa? This Boise . Idaho Realtor is very happy!
