Real Estate Transaction Anxieties

By
Real Estate Agent with Central Metro Realty 568764

8/4/2012

This week I've closed on a property that had been on the market since May 15, 2012 and I've got offers out on 2 other properties, 3 if you count the offer that is still floating around that I submitted 3 weeks ago.  These offers are not on behalf of a client, they are for my real estate investing company.  

I understand at a personal level the worry that starts when you first list your home.  The concern that know one will like your home, or just the uncertainty that surrounds the entire process.

I also know what it's like to wait, for days for a seller to make a decision on your offer.  To try really hard not to get too attached to a property, to stop selecting colors and where the furniture will go before you actually own it.

I'm in exactly the same boat you are.  I've redesigned the kitchen and picked out the lighting on a bank-owned property that I'm probably not going to get, but until I get that final no, I still hope that I can fix this house. 

Knowing and feeling are two different things.  If you are anxious about your next real estate transaction and you want to work with someone who really "gets it" give me a call.

Sometimes you get a surprise.  I recently closed on a house that my buyer had fallen in love with and lost to another offer.  30 days later I get a call, contract fell thought, are you still interested in the house?

Hope springs eternal.

Build the business slowly and after ten years your name and Trump will be equal.

We know the anxiety. Before we purchased our present home, we lost out on it three times to other buyers, who all eventually lost out on it for different reasons and we finally were able to be the lucky owners!

Tamara, purchasing a house is stressful no matter how many times you have been through it.  By the way that is a long time to be waiting for an answer, hope you get the answer you want soon.
