When the right home comes along

Often when starting out the home buying process, especially with a first time home buyer, we give the process a lot of structure. And that is for good reason.

We ask home buyers to get as specific as possible with their home needs, how many bedrooms, bathrooms, whether the yard needs to be fenced or not. We ask them their ideal timeline and so many other important things.

This structure and clear path forward is important to having a stress free home buying experience.

BUT sometimes you have to be willing to have an open mind and be flexible.

Enter C and H's home buying story.

When I first met with C & H we met very early on in their timeline which gave us plenty of time to start the education process and dial in what they were looking for in a home.

We discussed their ideal time to purchase a home and when we would plan to start the search more seriously. Which was a few months out.

But then... a few weeks later... we noticed the perfect home.

You know, the house that was priced well, super cute, well taken care of and in a great area. The home were you stand in it and go, why has no one else snatched this home up yet type home.

Luckily C & H had already started the home loan pre-approval process so we were able to act quickly, write an offer and secure them the property.

Everything went super smoothly and I was able to hand them over keys to their new home. We were sipping champagne in their new backyard after what felt like the most beautiful whirlwind of a home transaction.

The moral of the story is, it's great to have a game plan for your home buying journey, but when the right home comes along, even if it feels "too soon" sometimes making the leap can be the best thing you ever did.

If you want to talk about your personalized home buying strategy and how we can work together please reach out. I would love to be sipping champagne with you in your backyard someday soon!
