This home has a special place in my heart. A few years back, the owner reached out to me and was going to be moving and wanted to rent out this single family home. He knew the market wasn’t there yet for him to sell and recoup his value, so renting out made the most sense.
Over time I was able to find him some great tenants, and I always loved showing the home- it’s in a cul de sac neighborhood, very close to the Kennedy school, and also near a walking path to the high school.
It was bittersweet when he said he was ready to sell and take advantage of the market. He refinished the hardwood floors throughout, replace the countertops in the kitchen, added a mini split system for heat and central air- removing the oil heat, he replaced the water tank and repainted the interior. He made all of the best choices for updating for curb appeal.
The open houses were both very busy, and there were several private showings scheduled. My seller had many offers to choose from- with lots of different contingencies to consider.
In the end, he went with an offer that was $59k OVER what we were listed at, with no home inspection and a fairly quick close. The quick close was most important to my client, but the offer price was also more than attractive to him.
This 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom, split level, single family home on a corner lot now has new owners and I’m hoping I can find my client his next investment property!
