15 Miles in 3 Hours?

By

I showed buyers 5 potential homes today, all within a pretty tight radius; we started in Atlantic Beach, and our last house was in Jacksonville Beach.  They are expecting their first child in two months, and have been looking at a variety of homes from $250K and up. 

Two of these houses were very pleasant surprises: one in Jacksonville Beach was newer, tenant occupied (and the CLEANEST tenant occupied home I've ever seen!), had a fabulous back yard, and had the highest price tag.

The last house in Jacksonville Beach was a green, energy efficient home with a solar water heater; the only issue with that one was with almost 3100 SF, the living area was on the first floor with the kitchen, and made for a much smaller living area.

And that's how it took me 3 hours to go 15 total miles!

It sounds like you gave them a good variety to choose from and enough to be a ble to make a decision. With interest rates where they are, it is a great time to buy a home.

Hope that you get a contract and a closed deal out of it as well so they can move before the little one arrives!
