When we had the opportunity to talk with Chelsea and Jose to hear their story of why they wanted to buy a home, we felt that this couple was very special. They bought a mobile home a number of years ago and with hard work they were able to save up enough to buy their first home now that their family now growing. Being in a specific school district was top priority for them, so we honed in on that school district and began their home search.
For Chelsea and Jose they were in contract a few days after getting pre-approved. However, the home that they got in contract turned out to have a number of big ticket items that they did not feel was wise to continue to pursue. We loved how pragmatic they are and how they are able to make wise decisions for their family without much back and forth.
So we set out again looking for their home. This time the home they chose ended up being desired by multiple buyers. So, they had to compete. We found out that the other offer in hand was higher than theirs. Chelsea and Jose wrote the sellers a letter that really helped the seller’s connect with them and in the end the seller decided to go with their offer and saw that they were quality people and would take good care of their home.
It felt so good to relay the good news and to help them get one step closer to having their new home. Then the inspections came around, and there were a number of items that needed attention. In order to work together as a team we were able to find vendors to do the work and get paid from the proceeds of the sale which worked for the sellers and Chelsea and Jose. Jason went out to the property multiple times during the transaction to make sure the work was being done correctly and that Chelsea and Jose had a good advocate for them so that when they moved in the re-roof and and sewer line were finished and that there were no loose ends that they had to take care of.
It was a very good thing that Jose and Chelsea asked for a re-roof, because when it was being done the roofers discovered that there were 3 layers of roof that needed to be stripped off before the new roof couple be put on.
We are so excited for you all and hope Rex loves his new backyard!
