✨Home Sweet Home✨
Congratulations to my clients on their first home! I first met Sheena nearly 6 years ago when I helped her mom, Hansa, buy her home in Santa Rosa. Sheena, a college student at the time, was there every step of the way, from contract signings to design appts and the day her mom got her keys 🤍
Fast forward to this past July, Sheena reached out, saying she and her boyfriend, Jordan, were thinking about buying a home next year. She wanted to know if I could help. Of course, I said yes!
We had our Homebuyer Consultation on July 14th, where we discussed their needs, timeline, and how I could guide them on their path to homeownership.
The next time we met was at the open house for what turned out to be the only home we toured. Call it luck or love at first sight—it just made sense, and we moved quickly.
After reviewing the inspection and disclosures, we created a strategy to ensure we had enough time to gather key information, all without submitting a “non-contingent” offer. We secured the home w/ a considerable price reduction and negotiated terms that worked well for both parties.
✨ 6-12 months: the timeline they originally thought they’d need.
✨ 2 days: the time it took them to get prequalified.
✨ 2 weeks: the time it took for us to find “The One”.
✨ 54 days: from our first meeting to closing day.
✨ $36,000: price reduction negotiated.
✨ $6,000: in credits negotiated.
They worked with me as I created a solid plan, trusted my guidance throughout the process, and together, we successfully secured one of their greatest investments. There were a LOT of takeaways from this sale and doing your due diligence was definitely one of them.
What made this closing even more special was Sheena’s mom, Hansa, being there when Sheena and Jordan got their keys. A full circle moment for a wonderful family.
A moment that was much closer to their reach than they thought. If homeownership is your goal, let’s connect and see how we can put a plan in place for your new place! 🏡
