Another Lockbox for South Land Park into Inventory

Buying with a home sale contingency is a nice idea, but not feasible in a market like yours now in Sacramento.  There are too many buyers without that contingency.  Sellers don't have to inconvenience themselves for one buyer who didn't assess the market correctly.

Thank goodness you,  Elizabeth Weintraub Sacramento Real Estate Agent, Top 1% of Lyon Agents , and your team are there to help advise how to succeed in current market conditions.

Hi Elizabeth- I love what you said about picking up your lock boxes. And, it must be a very special time for you because you have probably had contact with your sellers every day or week since before you secured the listing. It's easy to tell that you love what you do and you keep a positive attitude about all of it. 

What a cute little house, Elizabeth! Somehow, I'm always happy when I pick up my sign and lockbox, as to me it means I got the job done for my clients. And often I don't do it personally.... the buyers' agents will bring those to closing for me after their final walk and I return the favor when I'm a buyer's agent.

Hi Elizabeth -- I can also relate to removing the lockbox and going through the home one last time -- it is bittersweet.  Selling a home is more than just paperwork -- it encompasses so many different and seemingly always moving parts to make it all come together.  

The conversation you have regarding contingency offers is spot on --- it's that shoe on the other foot talk that provides the ah ha moment a buyer needs but may not want to hear.
