Yesterday, my clients bought this renovated farmhouse-condominium in Danvers. We searched far and wide to find the perfect combination of space, location and value to help them purchase their first home. We did well; negotiating a purchase price under asking. Our timing helped, the market was in its typical December lull when we offered.
After saving ferociously for the day when they would buy, I was delighted to share in the happy family moments when the kids picked their bedrooms and planned for a pool and playground set that will be added next spring.
As a real estate agent the job is always about helping people navigate a process that will probably take some unexpected twists and turns. Managing a diligent search, able negotiations and a smooth transaction is just the start. A good agent takes on the role of educator, coach, counselor and advocate. Developing buyer competency and confidence is key to good decision making and winning the house.
Watching these two butterfly’s dance around their new home made my heart happy. One of my truly favorite parts of this job is listening to the kids. And these kids got everything they wanted, including that pool and playset.
