The Power of the Pause // Closed in NE!

By Living Room Realty, February 2, 2024

I am so freaking PROUD of these first-time homebuyers!!!

Mollie and Troy found me on the interwebs and we began working together last spring. We saw a slew of homes, but Mollie & Troy were *underwhelmed* by the selection within their budget.

They decided to hit the pause button for a year and committed to saving up more money before jumping back in.

Like clockwork, Mollie and Troy hit the ground running in 2024. We met on January 9th. In just a few days, we saw 7 properties and zoomed in on a funky ranch in Russell w/ fun angles and windows for days, PLUS so many updated systems.

Mollie and Troy made some tweaks to their initial offer to beat their competition, and had their offer accepted January 12th. Inspections went extremely well (a realtor’s dream) and we STILL negotiated $4100 in credit for some maintenance items.

Thanks to the incredible Beth Imhoff at Academy Mortgage (@mortgages.by.beth), we closed early on January 31. It seemed quick, but it was many months in the making. They hit pause first to fast forward later!

Mollie and Troy had a vision, committed to their goals, and made it happen. Cheers to you and to the power of the pause.
