Hooray to these FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS!

By Nicole Chavira, April 4, 2023

It has been a joy since our very first introduction that was thanks to a lovely past client 2 years ago. (Btw referrals are the biggest compliment and vital to my business so many thanks for all who recommend mešŸ™šŸ½) At the time, the housing market was a little coo-coo with those historic interest rates and an extremely competitive market. We got to know each other spending time seeing homes and then they decided to take a pause. A pause that turned out to be a blessing! As V excelled in her career with a promotion and a new little man was added to the mix, they reached back out and they were ready to make moves!

Literally and figuratively šŸ˜‰

It was our first weekend checking out homes and they quickly found THE ONE! The right school district, space and location! It just felt right!

With 264 days on the market and 90k price reduction, over that span of time, we made an offer that was up against one other at the time. I was able to negotiate a 10k credit to my buyerā€™s towards their closing costs (this means less cash out of pocket at closing) a BRAND NEW ROOF and some other minor repairs!

When I say that I share the excitement of each and every one of my clients, I mean it! Their gratitude and trust in me as their Real Estate Professional created such a wonderful experience all around.

Thank you so very much for choosing me to go on this journey with you! Even on key day where the oldest boys ran from room to room seeing the home for the first time and leaping for joy, truly warmed my heart. Moments like those are exactly why I passionately advocate and love on my people.

Wishing you all the most beautiful of memories together as you make your new house a home!

You are an inspiration to so many other hard working individuals that the time to buy is when itā€™s right for YOU! Congratulations my friends šŸ„‚šŸ”
