I got the call on my cell phone, a number I didn't recognize? The man on the other line said..." Is this the "Coolest" Realtor on Cape Cod". But of course... I replied. He said he had met me 11 years ago at a local networking event and had kept my card. 11 years... I thought, wow... I must have made an impression?
He and his family have been living in Georgia for the last 7 years but had held on to their Cape Cod Home for summer fun. Now, with his job ending, he needed to sell the Cape Cod home so that he could protect his family while looking for a new job in a declining job market. He and his wife were sad but resolved with the need to move on.
He fed exed me a key... The house is magnificent. I will honestly say... the only house in 12 years of real estate I would have considered putting my house on the market to purchase for myself. Of course, it was a bit of a mess as they had left in a hurry to get back to Georgia after Labor day... They said they would fly up and clean it! I said that is silly... I can get people to do it for little money...certainly less than the plane fare...
The property was on the market 2 days, with 35 showing and 6 competing offers... The sellers are psyched, the buyer is over the moon excited and the closing date is set..
Oh, yeah, I am the "Coolest" realtor on Cape Cod.... But in retrospect... this will always be the house that got away... maybe when I am ready to sell... it will be back on the market!
