Congrats Alysa + Jackson on the sale of their first home!
I would like to nominate these two for the Calmest Sellers in a Weird Market award. We listed their home at the beginning of August, when things started to feel sluggish.
Despite longer days on market, wishy-washy prospects, a promised offer that never transpired, and an alarming inspection report, A + J kept their cool and exhibited grace, patience, and reason throughout.
This transaction is a perfect example of why it’s important to do your own due diligence on the Sell side. Some initially scary observations from a zealous inspector became non-issues once we had our own specialists take a look.
We were able to negotiate an early close, a huge win for A+S, who were able to put the proceeds of this home into the purchase of their next, effectively lowering their monthly payment by a LOT.
Selling in this unpredictable market can be a roller coaster, but with the right listing prep and ongoing communication, it should feel more like a ferris wheel – riding the highs and lows and coming full circle.
Wishing them all the best on their next adventure up in Seattle! Cheers!
