This particular family went through the ringer!! I share this brutal story because in the real world, a home sale can get ugly when you least expect it. This one even tested my sanity! We dealt with an HOA litigation that rendered the home sale virtually unsellable (due to title issues). What happened?? Well, the unexpected...someone tripped and fell in the neighborhood while we we under contract. They lawyered up and filed a lawsuit against the HOA. Folks, with an unresolved condo litigation, most lenders won't touch these deals with a 10 ft pole (because the whole community is now tied up in litigation), leaving my sellers with an unsellable home. UNLESS, you are a cash buyer, it likely wouldn't close until the litigation is resolved (could take years). This amazing family stuck with me for over 9 months as we navigated through the legal system, tracked down high-level folks at the insurance company, cracked some skulls at the HOA management company....you name it!
Ultimately, I had a wonderful client moving back from TX and brought him out to to see the home. He loved it, fully understood the litigation/timelines, and was a cash buyer. Through digging and getting to the right people at Nationwide, I was able to get official letters verifying the insurance coverage was far more than the lawsuit claim (keeping my buyer protected). He LOVES the location and my incredibly patient sellers got the home sold under a nearly impossible situation. There's WAY more to this story, but you get it. Having someone in your corner who actually knows what to do was the difference maker.
That's how this real estate thing works in the the real world when you have a guide who's committed and won't take "no" for an answer!
SO HUUUUUGE congrats to the best sellers and buyer .... thank you so much for hanging in there with me!!
