Special offer

3412 Babson...Pending!

By
Real Estate Agent with eXp Realty of California, Inc. (lic. #01878277) DRE# 00949880

We put our home on the market last Friday, held two open houses over the weekend and accepted an offer Monday evening.  There was a lot of interest in our place with multiple offers.  Two offers were particularly strong and almost identical.  It made our decision very hard and it was tough being the bearer of bad news to one of the buyers.  The agent called me and asked, "What did I do wrong?"  I had to answer, "Not one thing."  It is just that kind of a market.  An agent and his client can do everything right and still come up just a little bit short.  

We feel very fortunate that our home went pending so quickly and hope the rest of the transaction goes smoothly.

Hello Raymond - congratulations on the accepted offer.  And you're right, it's especially difficult to be a buyer (or an agent representing anyone looking to purchase) in these types of markets) so your understanding of the situation when communicating is admirable.  Good luck as you proceed towards closing day and the next steps of your plan.

Thank you, Michael Jacobs.  I know I always appreciate a listing agent that treats me well when I come in second place (or worse).  It really helps to learn how to be better on the next offer.  I hope you are doing well and have a great weekend.

The only thing this sale lacked was an open house attended by the world famous, Brian England.  

Ironically, I have already loaded the truck and a trailer, delivered it all to Goodyear and flown back home to work.  It is a busy time.

Hi Raymond,

What a wonderful outcome for you and your family!  It is so hard to make that choice between 2 top contenders.  I always give number 2 the chance to be a backup. I was once number 3 in line and got my dream home in CA.  I hope that your transaction goes smoothly and is very friendly.  Best wishes and Happy Mother's Day to your wife!
