Congratulations to my seller for closing on their inherited property today!
Losing a loved one is never easy...and dealing with selling their home is equally as hard. My client was referred to me by their estate attorney, Voelkl Law, and was taken care of every step of the way.
During my first meeting with her, we realized we had some hills to climb to get this property sold. The property had been listed a while ago for WAY too much and didn't sell. On top of the stigma of not selling, the house had fallen into disrepair in some areas and there are VERY VERY few 3 unit properties in Western New York to use as comparable properties. We went over several scenarios on pricing strategies, expected time frames to close the home, and what we could do to market the property as best we could. We went over selling the side lot, selling everything together, rough estimates of repairs...everything to make an informed decision about how to price the property. I found her several contractors to finish the clean up that the family worked together on and they did a great job!
Once listed, I showed the property to a few investors who could not see past the repairs needed. But you only need ONE person to love a property, flaws and all. We lucked out and found that couple within 9 days of being on the market! We made quick work of negotiations and everyone started working on getting to closing. The cherry on top? My client's parent's long-time wish was to sell to someone she knew. My client was SO EXCITED when she got the contract to sign - the buyer was known well to the family who did not know of the parent's long-time wish. My client was OVER THE MOON she could fulfill her parent's hopes and was near tears when she saw the names of the buyers. It all worked out perfectly in the end and I couldn't be happier for her and her siblings.
For every chapter closed, a new one begins. Thank you so much for listening, thoughtfully deciding WITH me on how to best highlight this property, and for working on clearing it out. It couldn't have worked out any better and I am grateful for the opportunity to help you and your family. A huge thank you to Voelkl Law for connecting us!
