BUYER WAITING FOR A NEW HOME?
JUST BRING THEM HOME UNTIL THEIR NEW HOME IS READY.
ABOVE AND BEYOND? It never felt that way to me. When I have a home buyer waiting for a new home to be built, the question of where they will live until their new home is finished and delivered.
The solution is easy. I just bring them home. I have the room. My only "rules" are: Don't try to feed me and don't let the children eat on the upholstered furniture in the Family Room.
The family below purchased a lovely new home in Round Hill. It was a to-be-built by KHovanian, one of my favorite builders. Why a favorite builder, Lenn? Because, with this builder, at the pre-settlement walk through, the "Punch List" is likely to be a blank page. When this builder delivers a home, it's likely to be finished. That's what I call a good builder.
After this family relocating from England had signed the Contract of Sale, they were ready to find lodging until their new home was ready for occupancy. Rentals were very tight and we wanted to find something in the same public school district where the 11 year old would be attending in their new home. We found a rental in the school district but the lease was only for 10 months. So, at the end of 10 months, with about 4 months to go with construction of their new home, they were faced with very expensive executive lodging/motel or, just come to Lenn's house.
That is how these things happen. So, Mom, Dad and an 18 month old and an eleven year old came to my house.
HOW TO ENTERTAIN MY VISITORS. Since I visit Franklin Park in Purcellville often, I took them with me a few times. Franklin Park offers a wonderful place to introduce children to the sport of fishing. The fish are small but so were the fishermen. I had the tackle so the only expense was a few night crawlers from the 7-11 nearby.
The two year old needed a little help from Mom and Dad.
The 11 year old, however, learned to use a spinning rod quickly. She's a natural.
Franklin Park in Purcellville, Virginia offers this wonderful lake for visitors. The park also offers other fun things to do. There is a swimming pool, a golf driving range, picnic areas with cover, tables and parking.
Clearly my favorite is the lake and the likelihood of catching a fish or two.
So, if this is ABOVE AND BEYOND, I think it qualifies. For me, it was just helping a family find their new home.
