A Kindness Shown to a Buyer
On a closing this week, I found that the seller had taken the time to make sure that all the keys were easily identified, as well as garage door openers. There were also post-it notes under each item, and additional notes, telling about how much propane was in the tank, when the trash service would end, etc.
The mail that had arrived for the buyer was neatly stacked and easy to find.
They even left a tube of filler for a few little holes that nails had made in the walls.
The house had been cleaned and emptied, as promised. The garage was broom clean, too.
Every seller is supposed to leave a house broom clean, but not every seller goes the extra mile to make sure the new buyer feels at home.
This act of consideration from the seller was very much appreciated, and it didn't cost anything extra. Just some thinking ahead, and some caring.
A white board in the kitchen had a message from the seller:
"Goodbye house :(
Welcome home, new buyer!"
I've seen sellers leave bouquets of flowers or champagne for their buyers. This wasn't fancy, it was just heartwarming.
