This one sold for cash. Not because it was fancy, because it kind of had to 👀
2035 Smithfield in Kill Devil Hills didn’t have a permanent heat source. Just a window AC unit with a heat setting.
No permanent heat means most lenders won’t finance it, so every financed buyer was out before we even listed. That should have made for a slow, painful sale.
Instead we priced it for the buyers who could actually close, and our own brokerage produced one ready to go in cash. 33 days on market in a Kill Devil Hills market averaging 58, and closed in 13 days. No appraisal, no financing contingency, no last-minute surprises.
Huge shoutout to Kim Simpson Kimberly Simpson, Realtor who brought the buyer and helped it close clean 🙌
The condition of a home decides who can even make an offer on it. Knowing that up front is how you sell it fast instead of watching it sit.
Congrats to our sellers, and thank you for trusting us with it :)
