Congratulations to my sellers Jaida and Morgan (and sweet little Emmett) on the sale of their home! These sellers are the epitome of Keep Calm and Carry On ✨

We listed their townhome in mid November – not the hottest time of the year, but they were ready to get the ball rolling on their home search up in Spokane!

After 5 days on market, we had a buyer! This buyer turned out to be quite difficult to work with and ultimately terminated after we extended the inspection period fort them…but we’ll focus on the positive. Going back on market in December was not ideal. It was pretty slow going, but we were confident in our list price and stayed the course.

In January we renewed the listing to get some fresh eyes. Showings were steady and everyone who toured *liked* it – but not enough to write an offer. And then, the magic! About 2 months after originally listing, we received two offers on the same day ABOVE asking with some great terms. Back in action, baby.

Jaida and Morgan were patient, calm, and focused on the big picture. Their grace under pressure was impressive – even through all the setbacks and frustrations, they were a dream to work with. (Doesn’t hurt when you have THE CUTEST baby in the world).

Shout-out to my fellow Roomie Rio Palomares for being one of the best co-op agents I’ve ever worked with, and to Sara Keller at Guild Mortgage for connecting me with these lovely Sellers 💗

Now, it’s just a few more months until Jaida and Morgan’s dream home (currently being built and twice as larger as their townhome) is complete. Emmett is gonna crawl his little heart out all over those 2200 sq ft!

Congrats and cheers to you, Jaida, Morgan, and Emmett 🥂 Best wishes to you on your next chapter!
