Yep, it's true, sometimes Realtors are blessed with REALLY SMART HOME SELLERS! This is my tribute to Andy and Cricket (Rita) who win the prize!
Really Smart Home Sellers:
* Understand that Realtors aren't responsible for the decline in market values.
* Understand that even the BEST home on the block (and this house is beautiful!) still won't net the price paid 3 years ago (not to mention the cost of the upgrades).
* Understand that to get the best possible price in the current market, the home must always be in showing condition (there is no "get out of jail free" card on this even if you have a child under the age of 2, which they do).
These are the extra efforts my Really Smart Home Sellers did for the buyer when the transaction closed which is why they win the prize:
* As they were packing to move to their new home, they realized there were several items they didn't need or would replace and offered it to the buyer for FREE. These included patio furniture, a lawn mower, hoses for the front and back yard and custom paint. Yes, they could have charged the buyer a few hundred dollars but they chose not too. Can you imagine how thrilled this 1st Time Home Buyer was?
* They left the home immaculate - absolutely spotless!
* They left a bottle of wine, a "Welcome" card for the buyer and their email address in case there were any questions. It will come as no surprise that the buyer sent these Really Smart Sellers a "Thank You So Much" email raving about the house!
