This is how last week started...
See the people in the front, screaming their heads off? Yep, that was me.
On Monday: Deal 1: 50 k house, 20% down. Sounds pretty easy right? Well, add in A-Frame home. Uh-Oh. All bets are now off. There is NOTHING to compare the home to. We went back 2 years. NOTHING. So it's not looking good and I'm heading down the hill. I'm afraid it might be a big one.
Tuesday: Deal 2: This poor house. The poor sellers. A cute as a bug brick ranch. Been under contract 3 times before. 3 TIMES! So I finally have it under contract again, for the 4th time. First call of the morning is from the buyers agent: "Hey Kelley, this doesn't look like its going to happen..." I am now gaining momentum and heading down the hill faster. I can't see the bottom at this point.
Wednesday: Ahh, there it is. The bottom. A listing lost. Reason? The market is bad so let's just rent the house out till spring. Believe me; I pulled out every thing I could think of out of my bag o' tricks, but to no avail. I'm pretty much full throttle down the hill at this point. And I don't have a seatbelt!!
Thursday: What's this? A bend in the road? A call out of the blue today to list a home. A GREAT family home here in Eaton, Ohio. From someone in my sphere. Someone I don't have to go in and give the presentation to. Someone who specifically wants ME. I think the ride is changing. And I'm starting to like it.
Friday: YES! I LOVE roller coasters! They rock! A new buyer looking to purchase a second home in Lakengren OH, brought to me courtesy of? My ACTIVE RAIN BLOG! AND, another new listing brought to me courtesy of? You guessed it.
So on my weekends I chow down on corn dogs and funnel cakes, and get ready for my next ride.
It IS a roller coaster business, and I wouldn't have it ANY other way!
