Alex found me online, as she was looking for a broker that specializes in ADU’s, and also maintains a close working relationship with clients. We sat down initially just to talk about her goals, what’s important to her, logistics, and in general to make sure that it was a good fit for both of us. Often times the relationship of working together can be months long, and it’s very important to me that the communication is open and honest, and that we’re on the same page.
Luckily with Alex this was a snap. We got along great right from the start, and after answering all her questions and getting a feel for what the process would be, we started working together. We focused on the buying end first, touring houses so she could get a feel for the market. Alex had only owned a condo up to this point, and transitioning to a house was a big move for her. We spent a lot of time talking through the condition and potential of the homes so she could have a realistic expectation of remodeling and converting a basement to an ADU.
After a few weeks of looking, Alex was able to get clear that she wanted to move on from her condo in NW. We shifted gears to focus on finishing that up so she could have a firm idea of what to expect for the return on the sale of her condo. We put in the time and energy to get it market ready and help it shine, and then ended up finding a buyer who was super excited for the opportunity to own a historic condo in pristine condition. We let the process unfold and were able to come to terms with the buyers, and they just closed today. It was one of those transactions that was easy, and both parties were cooperative in working to get the deal done.
Alex is shifting gears back to the purchase of her new home, and I’m so excited for her to be partway finished with the process, and on her way to finding a fantastic new house to call home.
