Seller Success Story- Coalinga Way

The phone rang on Thanksgiving Day.  It was a referral from an out of area agent who’s best-friends’ bother, “Feets,” had passed away. The two other brothers were flying into town the next day. 

Would I meet them? 

Yes. 

The two of them were in town for 5 days and accomplished more than 10 people would have in 10 days. 

Could I keep up? 

Yes. 

Day 1~  Listing agreement signed, To-Do list and master plan made.

Day 2~ (a Sunday!) Two crews, with 7  people total got to work.

Day 3~ Neighborhood driveway gathering/vigil and bonding. Feets was so LOVED!

Day 4- Legal paperwork and Title/Escrow business done. 

Day 5- “Here are the keys, Gretchen. We trust you to take this one across the finish line. Thank you. “

And cross the finish line we did after: 

Overseeing all inspections, repairs, electrical upgrades, sewer lateral up-grades,  paint, carpet, and staging from our personal collection.  Shooting photos, videos, producing the marketing, website, listing copy, scheduling showings, presenting offers, negotiating counter-offers and back-up offers, getting into contract aka “escrow,” then more inspections and negotiations…..Whew~ We did it!

And then…..The buyer cancels.

Ugh…back on the market. 

And we do it all over: scheduling showing, presenting offers, negotiating counter-offer and back-up offers, getting into contract aka “escrow,” then more inspections and negotiations.

That one stuck and we CLOSED!

Real estate is personal. Like Family, and Money and Home and our “Stuff” is personal. We like it personal. 

We don’t take things personally, but we treat everything with a personal touch. 

Being trusted to handle highly sensitive personal business, and caring it across the finish line, is simply one of my favorite parts of being a Realtor. 

And yes, it it takes integrity. 

Don’t settle for less.
