This was a tough one! I'm so glad for my seller that his home selling journey has finally come to an end! This house originally went on the market way back in early July of 2018. It was a good house in a market with low inventory, so why did it just close, you ask? I'm chalking it up to plain old bad luck. This house was under contract not once, not twice, but three times! Thankfully the third time was finally the charm. If it was such a good house, you ask, why did the first two contracts fall apart? First we had a case of plain old cold feet. The buyers backed out within days signing and we went right back on the market. The second contract went almost all the way to closing. The home inspections and appraisal were complete and we weren't too far away from closing when the buyer was denied financing by his lender. This was a very upsetting and unexpected turn of events for both buyer and seller. Thankfully the house was very popular and received multiple offers each time it went back on the market. The third and final contract did make it all the way to closing, but not before hitting every single possible bump in the road first. The original closing date for this sale was to be 11/30/18 and we just closed escrow on 1/22/19. Ladies and gentlemen, that is a total of 53 days late with 7 total extensions! Not good. Why am I telling you all of this? Because I think it's important to point out that even when you have a great house to sell in a busy market, Murphy's Law can still come into play. Anything that could go wrong on this one did. It was a frustrating process for everyone involved, I had to deliver bad news more often than I've ever had to before and the seemingly endless delays were devastating to my client who had already relocated for work. I'm very happy we've come to the end of the road here and although I learned a lot from this one, I wish the whole thing went so much easier for my client. 155 Paper Mill Rd.

Sometimes it’s just the way it goes. And just maybe EVERYONE involved needed to be taught patience?
