Congratulations to my clients Rey and Amanda on their first home purchase in the heart of Hawthorne!
Rey and Amanda found me online. We met at a coffee shop and clicked right away – they ended up canceling the other two realtor interviews they had set up!
Rey and Amanda told me they knew what they wanted. They loved the charm of older condos and were looking only in inner SE, since they both walk to work. They told me they probably would put an offer on the first home they saw – which is exactly what happened. We saw two condos and we offered on the first one.
The condo had been on the market for months, but as soon as we submitted our offer, another one transpired. Rey and Amanda, decisive as ever, strengthened their offer terms and crossed their fingers. They rolled the dice with as-is verbiage and maxing out their budget.
The other offer was cash, but we beat them on price and other terms. The condo HOA was self-run, and the sellers liked that that was a plus for Amanda and Rey. The inspection report was clean as a whistle; their bet had paid off.
After living in a 500 sq ft studio apartment for four years, Rey, Amanda, and their cat Gwen are ready to be able to furnish their home with both a bed AND a couch! Cheers to these happy new homeowners!
