34 Greenlea SOLD
/What an amazing and happy story of teamwork, persistence and communication this one is!!
When I first met with these sellers they had been working incredibly hard for a long time already to get their home on the market. After living there for 20 years they were freshening it up so that it would show off the best way possible to future buyers. Within a week of that meeting we had the home cleaned, staged and on the market!
Right now the market is a bit funny in some areas where some homes are selling like hotcakes and others are hanging around for a little while longer. Throughout this process we were on the market for 24 days, which in reality is lower than the average days on market for the city of Winnipeg, but it can feel like forever when you are involved in it and going day by day, not for me but for the sellers.
The first week on the market we were blasted with a big storm and showings were very slow. The following week the showings picked up and the frustrations began… and it all involved the garage… or lack of one. Every.Single.Showing. gave the same feedback…. “love the house and the finishings but clients wanted a garage” Insert mega eye roll….. why did you look if you wanted a garage and this listing clearly states there isn’t one????
These sellers were so patient and we had our mega eye rolls together as they vented about this garage situation. Feedback is an amazing tool, but this one was a hard obstacle to overcome.
By week 2.5 the showings had picked up and open house attendance was on track and I knew that an offer would be coming in shortly, and sure enough it did! I was thrilled to sit down with them and begin working out the logistics. For the most part it was smooth except in the last few hours when it looked like we may have an additional obstacle as the buyers home inspection didn’t do their job completely. (am I allowed to insert another eye roll????) In the end it worked out perfect and by 9pm that evening I was able to call them and let them know it was SOLD!!!!
Throughout the 24 days of this listing I don’t know if a single day went by that we didn’t talk. We were in constant communication working through the process, answering questions, and just being there. It is not just the Realtor, it takes teamwork and everyone being willing to work together and I am happy I had amazing sellers to work with on this one. You guys were a great addition to the team and I couldn’t be happier for you!
