The Situation
Lynn accepted a full-price cash offer within 3 days of listing, but it depended on the buyers selling their home in New Hampshire first. She also needed to line up a rental before she could move.
The Challenge
Two closings in two states had to land in sequence. If the buyers' sale slipped, Lynn could be packed and out with no closing.
The Strategy
- Required a copy of the buyers' own sales contract to verify the contingency was real and on schedule.
- Supplied the elevation certificate and flood policy details early, so insurance never held up the file.
- Negotiated a buyer credit after inspection instead of open-ended repairs.
- Resolved a misunderstanding over furnishings quickly, and covered the buyers' home warranty from her own commission to keep goodwill on both sides.
- Audited the buyers' closing figures against her own title company's estimate to protect Lynn's net.
The Result
Sold for the full $325,000 in cash and closed 25 days after going under contract, in sequence with the buyers' sale.
"Working with Carleen was so easy yet so professional! She guided us through the process, which resulted in a quick, attractive sale while navigating challenges from the buyer. I would work with her time and time again. Highly recommend!"
