For this home I sold in the Mission Fremont area for $1,673,988, I was the agent for the buyers. If you read my previous story for the last home I sold in Fremont, that is the precursor to this sale.
This home is in a brand new community that the buyers just fell in love with first sight. The development was actually sold out at the time we first visited, so initially the clients were disappointed and we were trying to figure out any/all options to get them into this community somehow, but lucky for us, one of the homes had a deal fall through and the home came back on the market. I went with the wife to look at the home, we got out the compass and she was concerned that the home was facing the wrong direction. Since it was the ONLY home left in the community, that was a MAJOR blow and we thought it was game over. The husband later visited the home and also took his compass, and come to find out, the direction was ok, and all of us were excited that they could move forward to buy this home.
The financing was complicated. Initially the buyers wanted to keep their current home as an investment home, but banks are so strict these days and put so many stipulations in any given situation, that it turned out, the only way to really make this happen, was for them to sell their home in order to buy this one.
Unfortunately, the development would not take an offer contingent on selling their home unless it was already in contract. The buyers were really nervous that at any given moment, another buyer would come in and buy the home from underneath them. So, as mentioned in my previous story, we moved mountains and not only got the home staged and picture ready in less than 24 hours, but also sold the home in about 24 hours to an all cash buyer that would close in 15 days. What a whirlwind!
Once we were in contract on their current home, we immediately went back to the development to write up the offer and get that home locked in before someone else claimed it. The sales rep and lender were absolutely astonished that we pulled it off. Whoo Hoo! The transaction itself was pretty smooth and seamless. Because we were trying to close the deal as quickly as the financing could be completed, we didn’t really know until the end exactly what date we would close, but we did end up closing as expected, so it all worked out well and the buyers were able to move in to their dream home!
