Sellers Fell Back In Love With Their Home

 It has been fun been marketing one of my favorite contemporary homes. These original sellers have fallen back in love and are going to do some updating.

 

Contemporary Home by Margaret Rome 410-530-2400

 

My sellers have decided to stay in this home, that was built with love.

It is off the market and I am thrilled for them. 

Some good news happened. Their grandson was accepted to the Naval Academy in Annapolis, not far from this home.

Now this young man, whom they are so proud, will have family nearby. 

These sellers are good friends and I am happy to share good news.

Losing a listing can be good.

Margaret it is like the old Real Estate Joke " you did such a great job describing our home...we decided to stay because there will not be another one like this..." all kidding aside sometimes we have to respect what is the right decision and when you say USNA  I am sure Liz and Bill Spear  would be happy to hear it, Endre

It looks like a nice home and I am sure they are looking forward to lots of visits from their grandson.

Bob Crane It's the perfect home for them. They custom built it for themselves and their sons.

You have a warm and kind heart. A lesser person would have been angry over the time and money they wasted in marketing that home.

Sometimes the best decision is to stay planted in the roots that are the most familiar.

Hi Margaret.  I try be certain at the initial interview that the sellers really want to sell.  That said, circumstances can change -- sometimes very suddenly.  What's right for the client is our goal.  As long as the sellers listed in good faith, I am fine with their change of heart.

Dianne Goode Sometimes things change and this was one of those times.


I have only two listing questions 


Are you 100% sure you want to sell.


Are you 100% sure you want to use me.

Margaret Rome, Baltimore Maryland In this case, it is a perfect reason for losing a listing.  I'm glad this grandson will have his family nearby.

How awesome for them to have their grandson close by and how nice for him to have a place to chill out (when allowed!!!) with his fellow cadets when he can.

That's a great reason to lose a listing.  Maybe once he's out of the Naval Academy they will want to give it another shot.  For now, I certainly understand their want to stay.
