Some Home Purchase Stories Are A Whirlwind And This Is One Of Them...

While I was in Banff they set out with Heather to look at a few homes and fell in love. I wrote up the offer and as soon as I got back we did the home inspection. It uncovered a few unexpected items (hello knob and tube) and so we went back to the negotiating table, only to turn up empty handed. The sellers weren't going to budge. We walked away with a plan to do a weekend blitz of homes to make sure walking away was the right decision.

Then, we fell in love again! It was a home that had been on the market a while, it was a great home, a hidden gem, we wrote an offer.... and again, roadblock. A very stubborn seller who at most would negotiate only $900 off the list price. Again, we walked away.

These two thought long and hard about the first home, and we re-engaged in conversation, only to discover that the sellers had also found the same issues we had! They had spent that "time away" and did some more digging on their own home, the conversation was open again and we were on our way to making a deal happen. Only 24 hours after that conversation started again, we had both an accepted offer and financing complete and were able to seal the deal on making this home theirs!

Congratulations to the two of you, while the journey was short it was amazing. You are a lot of fun and deserve ever bit of happiness that you are going to build in your new home.
