Jorge is the kind of guy that things just work out for. I have been helping him buy and sell investment property for years and I have literally never seen him upset. That isn’t to say that we haven’t been in some tough situations; we definitely have. But every time I see Jorge he has a smile on his face. He’s the kind of guy who makes his own luck.
I helped Jorge buy a house to renovate and sell a couple of months ago. Instead of going on the market he decided to try to sell for under market value to some friends of his that needed a new home. He customized the house for their needs and did everything in his power to make this purchase work for them. Unfortunately, it didn’t. Which left Jorge in the position of having to list his investment in an inferior market, just because he had been trying to be a nice guy and help someone out. Did that stress him out? If it did he certainly didn’t act like it. He was nothing but smiles and positive energy as we prepped the home for market.
One day I got a phone call from someone standing outside of the property who had seen the sign in the yard. He was really interested in taking a look. Because I don’t represent both sides on principal I reached out to one of my amazing colleagues at Living Room and put them in touch. A few days later we had an offer: all cash, no contingencies. And could we please close in five days? I presented it to Jorge. “Sounds good.”
It turns out that this family who loved the house had had some hard times of their own. Having this property would allow them to stay in the same school district. It would be an amazing thing on a number of levels. So Jorge put the intention out there of renovating this property to help a family out and that’s what he got. What a cool experience!
