Meet Emma and Brian!  These two were super fun to work with!  Buying in a competitive market is stressful and they kept their cool and stayed positive and excited throughout our time together.  Even when they had a terrible home inspection and were forced to cancel on the first house they wanted to buy.  It didn't get them down.  They got right back on that home-buying horse and it wasn't long before we found the one in Holyoke.  A much better location for them and a much better house overall!  And these two were so on the ball taking care of their mortgage business that they were approved almost a full month before the seller would be ready to move out.  Talk about exercising your patience muscle!  The waiting was indeed the hardest part here!  And it didn't end there!  On closing day, when we showed up so they could do their final walk through prior to signing their documents, we were locked out!  The sellers had taken all the keys with them when they left the house for the last time.  We had to wait for the keys to be delivered and we were late to the closing!  They took it in stride!  (Cue Matthew Wilder's Break My Stride)    I'm only sad that we didn't get to spend more time together (but you bet I'm going to weasel my way into their house warming party!).  Congratulations Emma and Brian!  

Meet Jason!  Jason is another savvy seller who decided to unload his hot commodity while sellers still have control of the housing market.  Jason had only owned this house for a few years. He originally bought it as a short sale which took a LONG time but he got it for a great price.  He had done a ton of work on the house and wasn't sure if he should stay or sell.  After we did a market analysis to see what price he might expect to get for it he decided that it was no-brainer and he would sell.  Making a fantastic profit after such a short period of ownership has allowed him to make some of those bold life choices I love so much.  He's off to pursue pure joy... warmer weather, less work and more time focus on what matters most to him.  Congratulations, Jason!  Best of luck on your new adventure! 

This wonderful family's, multifamily house was my problem child this year!  Murphy's law certainly applied here!  This house was under contract, not once, not twice but THREE times before finally selling. The house was well maintained, in great shape for it's age and in a wonderful location.  So...   What was the problem?  COLD FEET.  Because the market is so competitive for buyers right now, they won't necessarily get to buy the first house they make a bid on.  The more houses they lose out on, the more likely they are to eventually go bananas and make aggressive offers way over list price.  Sellers love this practice!  But once an aggressive offer is accepted by a seller and the buyer has had their home inspections and some time to think, they're little toes can get cold.  When they think about how much they've offered to overpay and how much needs doing around the house, they may decide to take advantage of the home inspection contingency and back out of their purchase agreement.  So the house goes back on the market and you go through the whole process again.  It was SUPER fun!  Though if you've been reading these little stories you know I'm a big believer in timing and energy.  I think this house was waiting for the right new owner.  It had been owned by the same family for so long and they had a special connection to it.  They were ready to sell but maybe it wasn't quite ready to be sold.  Whatever the issues were, the kinks have been worked out and this baby is welcoming a new family into it's arms.  Congratulations! 

Meet Abraham and Valeria!  These two engineered an excellent homebuying experience for themselves!  They took the time to get to know the market, to figure out which lender/loan type worked best for their needs and they set and stuck to a budget that helped to keep them from going bananas in a very competitive market for buyers.  They were open minded so we looked at a good spectrum of houses from fixer uppers to move-in ready and we spread the search area pretty wide.  In the end, they got a great house for the price in a super convenient Newington location.  And on their closing day, it was a beautiful day in this neighborhood...    

Meet Bill and Mike!  Having to clean out and sell the ol' family homestead is never an easy task.  These brothers handled it with style and class.  With Bill here on the ground in CT and Mike in TX there were some extra logistics to consider.  And from tearing up carpet to emptying the contents there was a lot of work to do.  I heard no complaints and was often surprised at how willing these guys were to take care of what needed doing.  They were shining stars as sellers and it was a sincere pleasure to work with them.  So congratulations Bill and Mike!  The work is done, was  done well and now it's time to relax and celebrate! 

These savvy home sellers decided to take advantage of this wild sellers market and make a big move toward changing their financial future.  They unloaded their massive, beautiful and historic home for great profit which they plan to turn around and reinvest in even more real estate (and maybe a Tesla!).  Here's to smart people making big changes to improve their lives now and for the future!  Congratulations!  

Is summer really over already?  It seems like this was just yesterday.  On this episode of Poking Around with the Martins, we do more sitting around than poking around.  We have wonderful friends who live year-round in a gorgeous private lake community.  So when they go on vacation, we go on vacation... to their house!  It was lovely to get some downtime in the woods.  Big thank you to Desiree and Rob for their hospitality.
