Successfully Navigating a Contingent Offer

By Beth Benner, June 8, 2023

Home is where the heart is, and my clients Elizabeth & Alex just found theirs!

Gen & I helped this dynamic duo successfully navigate a contingent offer, which hinged upon the sale of Elizabeth’s previous home. With seamless coordination, our team’s expertise, and open communication on both sides, everything came together to move this sale forward quickly. Now, Elizabeth & Alex are eagerly looking forward to building their life together in this new home, filled with love and beautiful memories. And just in time to settle in before they get married! A special shoutout to Elizabeth, a repeat client of mine, for entrusting me once again with such an important milestone.

I’m overjoyed to have helped this super sweet, cool couple close on their first home together, and can’t wait to hear about all the amazing moments to come!
