Sometimes finding the right home takes a little creativity — and a lot of persistence. 🏡
My client moved here from Florida after losing his wife. He came to be closer to family, and he had a clear picture of exactly what he wanted. A ranch-style home. Resonable price. Nice neighborhood. No big rennovations needed. Cash buyer. No compromises.
The neighborhood he had his heart set on? Only about 3 homes come up for sale there each year. We put in a back-up offer and lost it. So, I mailed letters to all 82 ranch-style homes in that neighborhood. I called. I emailed. I texted.
The response? People who LOVED their neighborhood and weren't planning on selling. 😄
I shifted gears. I reached out to agents who had sold homes in that area — and it only took one to change everything. She had a listing coming up just a quarter mile north of where he was looking. A quiet neighborhood. Close to shopping and restaurants. And not far from his family.
He almost didn't want to bother seeing it.
He now owns it. Ranch style, full basement, nicely finished with lots of storage areas — perfect for the furniture from his larger Florida home.
This is what it looks like when your agent doesn't give up.
