They Geared Up for Battle, And Won Twice.

By Living Room Realty, April 13, 2022

Andrew + Alice are a dream team. They contacted us over 3 years ago in regards to purchasing their next home. They wanted it to be a good investment and so they started dreaming, planning, saving, and angling themselves so that they would be in a great position when the time came to buy their home.

Initially, how could we use our position to our advantage? A fixer-upper? Most of the homes we saw were in pretty bad condition and would take a lot of energy and effort to be livable. This would end up being cost-prohibitive. So, we changed tactics. They still wanted a fixer-upper but it had to be livable. One day they sent me a home they thought could possibly work. The minute we saw it and read through the specifics we knew this house would fit them like a glove. We had to get to work. The type of competition out there could discourage some buyers, but Andrew and Alice knew we could compete. So we fought. Multiple offers were sent in on this house. Some higher than ours. But, Andrew and Alice understood the importance of strong terms and that the terms you put forth as a Buyer could be even more attractive to the Seller than a larger purchase price. Andrew and Alice were clear in their communication. Their positioning was so attractive to the Seller that they ended up getting in contract!

 

When finding a fixer-upper, inspections can be a nail-biter. Unfortunately, the inspections showed us that this house needed more repairs than we initially thought. Andrew and Alice did not quit. We geared up for our next battle and got a great team behind us. One of the best parts, with help of quick estimates from our incredible contractors, was that we were able to negotiate an amazing buyer’s credit! They won both battles and got the home they dreamed and planned for. And to you three, we raise our glasses! You fought hard, persevered, and kept the optimism of your dream alive during the process.

 

Congratulations Andrew and Alice! Opal now has a beautiful home to grow in. We are thrilled for your family! Thank you for allowing us to join you on this journey!
