When You’ve Got a Good House, You’ve Got a Good House
October 19th, 2005Well, I warned you. I said if you wanted to see my latest listing you needed to call me quickly, right? If you were thinking it might be something you were interested in, but put off calling, you’ve missed out. Yep, literally 18 hours after the house went into the MLS we had a very nice full-priced offer in our hands.
However, we are still accepting backup offers. In case you haven’t heard, the statistic on homes falling out of escrow for one reason or another this summer was 30%. So those are pretty decent odds if you really wanted a house that was already sold. This is not to say that I’m not hoping I’ve done my homework and this deal is going to stick, but then again, sometimes things happen you have no control over.
Anyway, I’m very excited this house has already sold. I have a trip to Mexico planned for this weekend with the owner and it will make the partying and relaxing even more sweet now that we’ve got this handled.
The negative to all of this is that we still don’t know for sure that the offer we put on a new house for my clients has been accepted. Hopefully that will be cleared up today and it will be smooth sailing in Mexico this weekend.
UPDATE: The offer was accepted! Isn’t it nice when it all works out so perfectly (yes, yes, I’m currently knocking on wood).

Well the house was nice and all that, but it’s clear to me that the real deal-maker was having Elizabeth Newlin running the show. Congratulations!
