Thankful-This Is How Real Estate Is Done In Baltimore

A few months ago, I found what I thought was the right condo for a favorite buyer. We had been looking for six months. Our offer was accepted, but the inspection revealed latent defects that were not acceptable. There was no choice but to withdraw from that transaction. 

Finally, another one showed up, and we made an appointment for this one the minute it hit the market.  We immediately made an offer that could not be turned down. We asked the listing agent what the seller wanted, including the price, terms, closing dates, and whether a post-occupancy was needed. It was a desirable property we had waited for and was perfect.  The rapport with this agent was perfect, and she was a delight.  Her only goal was to make this deal work for everyone. 

A few concerns were quickly addressed, and after a final walk-through, our settlement was smooth. The buyers gave the sellers a few weeks to remain in the property and rent back so they could close on their new home.

All transactions should be this perfect.

 

This week, the postal carrier delivered the above note from the lovely professional Realtor®, Kelsey Hurson.

Hi Margaret- this is how real estate needs to be done not just in Baltimore but everywhere. Two professional agents whose goals are much the same- make it work for their clients.

Having an excellent agent on the other side of the transaction can truly make everything so much better. The reverse is true!

Hello Margaret - every transaction may not be ideal, is far-from-perfect and doesn't reach the closing line.    Moments of thankfulness like those expressed in this post illustrates that life as well as successful real estate continues to happen. . .
