Apologies for the following novel, but today’s closing is one I admittedly feel extra proud of. Having accepted a position at the UW, our buyers were on a tight timeline and looking for a pretty specific property: one with enough space for the whole family, in the Middleton school district, with a three car garage, nearby to biking trails, ideally on a cul-de-sac, and within 15 minutes of the UW.
That last parameter focused us down to the Stonefield neighborhood, and pickings in that area were slim for a while. But when this property came on the MLS in delayed status (meaning it wasn’t ready for public showings and only realtors could see the listing), I knew from the specs alone that it was going to fit the bill. I sent it to my folks and we submitted a sight-unseen offer within an hour. It took some persistence (and social capital), but we were able to get this one under contract before it ever hit the open market ☺️
House hunting can be an endeavor and a lot of my job is removing that stress from clients and taking ownership of their goals. Finding a property for my clients that checks literally every single box (and before it’s even really available) makes me feel like a treasure hunter striking gold, and calling to tell them the house was theirs was such a happy moment. Living just down the street myself, I can’t wait for them to move in and start enjoying their forever home in our beautiful neighborhood.
Congratulations to our buyers — welcome back to Wisconsin! And cheers to Lisa Murray on the listing side for not only taking our early offer, but being an all-around fantastic human/realtor. 🥂
