Going the Extra Mile!

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

Memorial Day I wrote an offer for my buyers moving to Austin from Houston. We looked at three houses and this was the one that checked all their boxes!

It took all week to get it initialed and signed off from the seller! Crazy right? The seller was having seller’s remorse (not uncommon). Finally late Thursday afternoon it was signed off on and inspections scheduled for this Saturday morning!!

I love it when inspectors go the extra mile and work on Saturdays! Thank you Bryan and Bryan Inspections....you are the best!!!

                     

My buyers did not drive back for the inspection so I stopped over. The inspector called my buyers went over the highlights and we will have the inspection report later tonight. They are closing on their home June 8th so time is of the essence. Thank goodness they have a lease back until the 30th!

I love it when inspectors can explain things in lay terms and not make every little thing seem scary, haha.

Good morning, Dorie... I love that Zig Ziglar quote. And I agree, it's wonderful to have inspectors, lenders, etc. who go the extra mile for our clients. It makes us look like heroes to our clients.

While seller's remorse usually is far less common than buyer's remorse, it does happen.
