What a difference $25.00 a month can make

Real Estate Agent 0225218019

I had a call yesterday from a man wanting to know if I could show him a rental property that our office had listed. I don't focus on working with rental properties but this young man told me had already secured a job here and had to leave in the morning. I had some extra time, so I decided to give up a couple of hours and work with him. 

 

I checked our MLS and found several more properties that I thought he might like. One property was $25.00 above what he wanted to pay, but he liked the looks of it and we decided to go see it. 

 

He really liked the condo I showed him that was $25.00 over his price range and ended up filling out a rental application for it.  It worked out well that he was willing to consider an extra $25.00; in this case $25.00 made a big difference.

I'm glad he was able to find something he liked, and was willing to spend a little more to get it.

One thing I've found, Sybil, in the past several years is that everyone I work with has ended up spending more money on their housing than they first intended to do... and clearly in rentals it's no different.

I agree Kat Palmiotti, this property was heads and shoulders above the others I showed him and apparently the others he had seen on his own.

I find that happens here a lot too Nina Hollander, I guess it is the nature of our markets.
