From enquiry to closing within topsy turvy 48 hours!
Tenant first enquired about my listing on Saturday, but start date couldn’t match. They expressed despair about unable to find a unit despite being in the market for more than 3 weeks, and they are going to step into the plane to relocate to Singapore on Tuesday.
We’ve quickly zeroed in on a nice two bedder condo on the East that fits their budget and immediately available. Offered at asking and was immediately accepted. However, upon the time of making the monetary commitment, the tenant was very worried as it is significant portion of their savings and they have heard of bad experiences of agents scam etc.
Took some time to explain the procedures, terms of tenancy contracts, and worked closely with Tenant’s brother (V) to give assurance that everything is above board. Finally after some back and forth, managed to work out an arrangement with the landlord agent to arrive at a middle ground where both parties get what they want at the end of day and most importantly, happy.
Scooted off immediately post closing to purchase temporary beddings for unit while waiting for landlord to arrange furnitures.
Words can’t describe how I feel when the deal is closed, I think I might have found meaning in this job - it is to help others, which is more fulfilling than just money alone. The kind words of V summed it all up.
Thanks bro for being an amazing cobroke to work with, being ever accommodative to our requests. Special thanks to V who provided a lot of comfort to his family member in making the leap of faith.
