I took a new listing about a month ago in Killeen Texas- for a client who is in Germany with the US Army. His house had been in rentals for many years and he wants to cash in as he is approaching his retirement. I happened to be working with a Fort Hood area buyer at that time -who fell in love with the house- and we contracted her on it before it even hit the market! We were ALL very excited! Homes are so affordable in this Killeen area - for instance this was a full brick home, 1300 SF, fully renovated and updated for $105K.
The buyer was prequalified- of course- or she would have never been in my car. However despite my best efforts to make sure I was showing a buyer who could make the deal happen- her loan was declined in the final underwriting stage- yesterday. We exhausted every option to get her loan approved but with no luck in the end. Everyone is so disappointed but we must move on.
We contracted at $105K which was $3K less than my suggested market price to list- so I used this as a positive spin for the seller since we have to list in the MLS now. Hopefully he will get another contract in a few days for full price and end up making a little more because of this unfortunate situation.
My assistant (who is amazing, check her out at www.virtualassistantchick.com) will be working hard this week to get marketing materials ready for Internet placement on all of our various outlets. I am so thankful fo her - having her assistance allows me to offer a level of service to my sellers that I would otherwise be unable to. Thanks April!
Everyone wish us luck with this amazing new listing! I will blog again with pictures and info about the house!
