Happy Ending

By
Real Estate Agent with Howard Hanna

I recently helped the nicest couple sell their home!  They were in a hurry to sell but didn't want to take less than what they thought it was worth. (of course!) I met and interviewed with them in July.  I was competing for the listing with another broker- who had more experience in the actual city of Erie.  I was delighted when they chose me to represent them!  I held many open houses, mailed flyers, had an agent open house and did everything I could think of to bring in an offer.  Six long weeks went by and I was feeling very bad for my sellers, as I knew they were planning on leaving for Florida by the end of October.

I decided to try another open house and it worked!  A lovely lady came through with her daughter and put in an offer two days later!  It was a cash deal and so we closed in two weeks and the house sold for $20,000. more than anything in the neighborhood!!!  My clients were so pleased and practically had their car packed for Florida when we had the closing the first week of October!  It's so wonderful when we get to help people either find the home of their dreams, or sell one so they can live their dream! www.jackeymazzocco.howardhanna.com

Welcome to Active Rain! This is a great website for building your business, as well as learning from others.  Pat yourself on the back, because you made a GREAT choice in joining the blogosphere!

Write often, and write whatever comes to mind.  Blogs about personal topics and non-real estate items are often the best.  It helps your readers to bond with you, and ends up bringing you a lot of business!

Good luck with your future blogging.  If you'd like more info on points in Active Rain, I wrote a blog about it (click here). Feel free to ask me any questions if you need a hand!

Jackey,

Congratulations on a great open house.  What was it that made the seller choose you over the competition?
