Another Maple Valley Closed Sale!

by

With great thanks to everyone involved, I’m pleased to announce the closed sale of this absolutely wonderful home in Valley Meadows. With multiple offers, we were able to come to contract within about a week of listing.

SOLD-Front

 The honor roll includes:

  • Brandon – the Buyer
  • Dean & Debbie – the Sellers
  • Andy – the relocation rep
  • Sara and Rob from Stewart Title – the title and escrow folks
  • Josh Hall – the Buyer’s broker
  • Dave Jagosh of Pacific NW Home Inspections – the Seller’s inspector
  • and me of course – the Seller’s broker

So … how was it done?

My clients (the Sellers) were fantastic. They prepped the house exactly as suggested, including having the home pre-inspected, then completed everything on the inspection list. It helped that we used one of the very best inspectors in the area – in fact the seller’s inspector also turned out to be the preferred inspector for the Buyer.

We did some careful marketing, targeting the home in the MLS with a full-fledged suite of photos, along with adding another 30 or so photos on my Web site, along with being sure the listing appeared on several hundred other sites.

Did we have careful talks about price? You betcha! The right price brought the expected offers with fully preapproved Buyers. With a bit of negotiation, everyone was thrilled!

 So a HUGE thank you and Congratulations to everyone involved!

 

Whooo hooo!

It’s Under Contract! — And Now it’s SOLD!

Congratulations to the new owners of this lovely home in Puyallup. February will always be a special month for you!

I’m so pleased that you found the home of your dreams! May you have many many years of happiness and satisfaction in your new home!

(post updated 3/5/2012)

—————-

And the Sellers are so excited! I’m always excited as well when a good offer comes in on a listing and we’re able to negotiate the finer points resulting in an accepted contract.

The Sellers will be ticking off the very short list of requested repairs in the next few days … seems like there’s always stuff in the gutters in our area, no matter when they were last cleaned … and then this beautiful home will go to some also very excited Buyers.

Congratulations to everyone involved! Your home sale is Pending! Now let’s get this one Closed!!

Thanks to Everyone — Another Sale Closed!

Mission accomplished! The Seller of this little wonderful little house left a legacy for the new Buyer family — “Here’s a place where you can raise your own young children, with places to run and play and shout and sing. We loved it and know you will too.”

This transaction was simple and surprisingly quick! With particular thanks to Erik Reault of Cobalt Mortgage who put together a very fast and efficient FHA 203k rehab loan, and thanks to the cooperating agent on the transaction, Jeff Kissick. Thank you both for a job well done and your great communication.

And, of course, special thanks to the members of my valued team — Marilyn Brown (and Dawn Carlson, my local rep) and the staff at First American Title and Escrow in Kent — you guys rock! This one moved so fast that it caught us all scrambling at the end to get everything done in time. And thanks also to the staff at Stuth Septic for stepping up so quickly to complete the septic inspection and to Neighbors Septic for popping out at the last minute to pump the tank.

There were rocky moments as there are with every transaction, but the Seller and I definitely appreciated everyone’s efforts!

Thanks again to everyone involved!
