โจโจCLIENT SPOTLIGHT ๐ (long post)
These two brand new homeowners are the epitome of not giving up.
I met Michael and Kasandra last fall, in September. We met at a home they were curious about, and didnโt know much about the home buying process. They knew one thing, and that was to get themselves and their family into a place they could call.. home. After letting them know I would be there through every step of the process, we got news that they would not be able to get their coveted pre-approval letter. They were given instructions by our lender out of Central Bank, Jared Noteboom. It wasnโt a very easy feat, and it made the road a little more rocky. It sounded like homeownership was put on hold for a few months.
After a few different conversations in between September and March, I could sense there was a tiny bit of discouragement. But as always, I tried to keep spirits high and to put trust in our lender.
On a random day indeed, Michael called me up and said โyouโll never guess what happenedโโฆ and my smile could not have gotten any bigger. I said โwhatโs up?โ And he said the words. โWe did it. We got pre-approvedโฆโ
At that moment, my initial thoughts back in November were confirmedโฆ this man and woman wonโt stop until they accomplish what they needed to do. For them, and for their 5 children. I knew all along they were capable, and thatโs why, real estate agents, you never give up on your clients.
Home after home. Day after day. We werenโt able to find the โoneโ. As Michael would put it, โIโm just kinda pessimistic is allโ. I always just kinda laughed and I said โI know you areโ.. but I would always say to keep your head up, itโs coming. And it did. We walked in, and he loved it. Called his wife and let her know, and then we brought the whole fam. They all loved it โ and we of course got under contract.
If you bought a home, you know the next 30-40 days are nerve wracking. Inspections.. negotiations.. appraisalsโฆ final walkthroughs with 11th hour BS (weโve all been there). And despite hiccups, these two folks handled it with such calmness. It was always the positive mindset I tried to instillโฆ We are going to get through this. We are going to figure it out. We are going to close.
โฆ and doggawnit, we did just that.
THEY did that. THEY are homeowners. THEY didnโt give up.
THEY did it.
You guys are an inspiration to future homeowners. Listen to the lenders and the agents, stay the course, and good things will come. I am beyond proud to have helped you and your family find your beautiful home. Thank you for trusting me, and thank you for being an inspiration.
One of the greatest opportunities, to be honest, is to witness those putting their mind to a goal.. and reaping the rewards. What a kick ass story. What a kick ass family.
Thank you for listening ๐
