                How many blogs does it take to get to the settlement table?

 

The home was listed January 22nd. The contract was ratified January 30th.

And today February 29th... yes it is leap year, we had a perfect settlement. Thirty eight days but who's counting.

Well, if that was true, Margaret...I would have sold my listing twice by now...lol.

May be, this time, for another new condo listing, I'll copy your 9 blogs and will post every 4th day..

On a serious note, Congratulations. To be effective, one needs to be consistent in blogging and not repetative (that's what my posts were...)

Way to go. And some people still think the real estate market is dead and mortgages are hard to get.

This was the best settlement outcome we could have ever asked for. Everyone had smiles on their faces and everyone was so happy with the transaction.  

With just 9 magical blogs, Margaret Rome got the job done and on time. 

Did you ask the closing question?  Well Margaret did and the results speak for themselves.

Way to go!
