2 Closings in One Day!

By
Real Estate Agent with Midwest Properties of Michigan

Okay, so some of you seasoned pros out there have probably done this quite often, and quite a few times, but as a newer agent this is my first.  The Grand Rapids, MI real estate market is really picking up!  My first client, Faye, and I have been working together for a long time.  We'd finally found a few houses she liked, but every time we put an offer in - it was sold.  There were several competing offers, in fact.  I felt bad for Faye not getting these homes, but it felt good knowing the market is moving and homes are selling.  She finally found a home she liked and got an accepted offer - and it wasn't a foreclosure or short sale.  I'm so happy for her.  She's so happy for her!Faye & Ed   

My second client also had a competing offer on a condo that she had first made an offer on and finally found the nicest condo (a hidden gem) with high quality craftsmanship that she ended up buying.  And what a great price!   Again - not a foreclosure. Lola and I are looking forward to her open house.

Here's to two wonderful clients and their two happy homes!  May they have many years of happiness!!

Wow!  There is hope!  Congratulations!  I'm wondering who financed the condo?   It seems difficult to get such financing lately.  Please share.  Thanks!

Hi Patricia:  The condo financing was very touch and go.  We used Founders.  It has since gotten a lot more difficult, but obviously not impossible.
