I DON'T THINK I'M A SUPERSTITIOUS PERSON, but everyday superstitions do cause me to pause. I won't walk under a ladder or let a black cat cross in front of me if at all possible.
So when a listing of mine became ready to put on the market on Friday the 13th I did think about and it and discuss it with my client. We both decided it wasn't a big deal, and wanted to be on the market that weekend.
The house went quickly under contract! But just a short few days later...
The House Flooded...not just a small leak, a full blown, whole house flood which effected almost every room in their home.
A short time later a windstorm caused roof damage,
and fence damage,
And the same storm caused my client's car to get scratched.
We worked diligently to get the water damage mitigated and everything else fixed and put back in order. The good news: The house closed just a week later than planned and for over asking price!
My clients are the sweetest people and did not deserve this anguish. What did I learn?
The next time, I'll list the home before midnight the night BEFORE Friday the 13th!
