Hello all you awesome real estate-minded folks!
Just wanted to share an awesome story from last month's closings. With all the negative poop (that's a technical term) out there about our industry, maybe it will helpful to remember what we do, and why.
Case in point:
I had a lovely empty-nester couple wanting to buy their retirement home, and really fix it up well. One is a retired pastor, the other finishing up their career in the next few years. They know it's a great time to pick up a bargain, and they did - a foreclosure in north Plano with a nice amount of equity. They were so thrilled, BUT they didn't want to pay for all the repairs after the down payment - after all, retirement is looming for this couple. They had approached their bank, but the rates and fees to pull that off were a little heavy.
Fortunately, we had an opportunity to talk, and they knew it was always better to use a specialist in financing (not just a bank). We were able to roll the repairs and upgrades they wanted into their 30 year fixed rate mortgage - with a rate savings and fee savings over their own personal bank.
Now, they have their dream home fixed up just the way they want, without having to outlay all the cash to fix it up THEIR way.
Thanks to Ghitta Torrico, of Ebby Halliday, for being a great agent on this transaction, and helping these folks buy their dream home (and make it dreamy!).
