A Good Eye + A Good Buy = A Good Baltimore Condo Home!The Imperial HomeRome Realty

 

 

This past year I sold a condo 3601 Clarks Lane Baltimore, Maryland 21215 The Imperial Condo #422   for a gentleman, in his nineties. He was the original owner, loved his home and was now moving to assisted living.

With no need for the furniture, we decided to include it all along with a rock bottom price.

The special buyers saw the value in the building and knew they were making a deal! This couple made it easy for the seller. Just leave everything and what we don't want, we will donate etc. This can be a big help not having to clear out a home of 40 some years. Sure you can advertise the goods, put it on Craig's List etc.. but sometimes it is not worth the time or inconvenience.

It was a sweet deal for everyone... kind buyers who gave the generous seller plenty of time to move, even after the settlement date.

 

This past montH, while showing another  listing in the building, I was fortunate to run into the buyer. It was like old home week. He enthusiastically invited me up to see what changes were done. So glad I took the time.    

                            Just look how  A Good Eye + A Good Buy = A Good Home!

 

 

A wall was removed between the dining room and kitchen....really opening up the space by using modern cabinets,granite counters and island! A second door into the kitchen was covered with the over sized refrigerator. The carpeting was removed revealing the gleaming wood parquet floors!

                        The remaining furniture looks so good with the splash of color and removal of the old wallpapers.

                              And the savings allowed for a sparkling new whirlpool tub and separate glass shower stall.

Margaret -- I could listen to these types of stories every day!  It makes me feel like my job is worthwhile when buyers and sellers work together.

Margaret - thanks for taking a look back and bringing it forward.  We sometimes forget that the "close" is a new beginning for someone else!  Thanks ...

Jack, I like that "the "close" is a new beginning for someone else! Good way to look at things.

Joan, We all need to do more of these stories.

Mara, Love you way with words! What a knack!

Sally, This kind of use is better than any follow up program!

Charles, You make me smile. Lenn is usually right!

I think the story is heartfelt.  I so enjoy reading how generous the buyers were all the way around.  And, then letting you bacck in, they were proud of what appeared to be "A Good Eye, A Good Deal, A Good Home!" Thanks for sharing.  I think you just gave me my blog idea for he morning.  Isn't it great to read and comment on blogs and then have an idea pop into your head.  It's fun to share.  Wonder if there are any other contests around the corner.  :)

Gail, The wonderful thing about this business...our buyers and sellers frequently become our friends. The connection is made during the transaction but it is up to us to continue to stay in touch. Can't wait to see what you come up with for your morning's blog.
