In May, the gracious Cast & Crew of HGTV's Hidden Potential TV Show visited Northwest Indiana's Porter County to feature 3 Local Homes For Sale.The Episode did not air on television until late August, but gave us some Publicity in the Local News!
After the episode aired on TV, we listed one of the Properties that was featured in Episode # 608.
The 4th weekend this home was listed (day 36 on the Market to be exact) we had 2 separate interested parties come through the home with their REALTORS each scheduling a second showing a day later!
Now, 2nd showings for us in THIS MARKET mean one thing: get the REVERSE OFFERS typed up and ready to present to the Buyers Agent!
I can remember Jeff using the words " out of the box thinking" in talking with the Buyers Agents ahead of time and explaining the concept - they were both open minded to the concept and agreed to present the offer to their clients as well.
We've blogged about reverse offers before and closed several deals because of them this year!
But, until this instance, never before did we get together with our sellers and have the opportunity to write up 2 Reverse offers simultaneously on the same property!
Not all agents or clients "get" the concept, but in this case, the light bulbs went off and we had a signed agreement back in 24 hours!
This upcoming Thanksgiving will certainly be special for the new ownersof this unique home as well as for our retiring Sellers who were open minded enough to shift their paradigm and do something different than the usual and customary practices they had experienced in a lifetime of buying and selling properties!
Also, we had excellent collaboration & communication with the Buyer's Agent (who although unfamiliar with the concept of reverse offers, was forward thinking enough to present it to her buyers who accepted).
We look forward to helping more clients achieve their Real Estate Goals !
