Jennifer Cotter was referred to me by a former client who happened to be one of her colleagues. She had been working with a discount brokerage and was trying to use her credit union to obtain her pre-approval.
She had found a house that she liked that was in her price range, but both her agent and the lender were unresponsive and in no hurry to help her make it happen.
I however moved quickly, connecting Jennifer with a trusted lender who was quickly able to get her pre-approved, so that we could make an offer on the home she wanted.
Unfortunately, due to her previous delay, she lost out due to another cash offer that came in before hers and was accepted.
So my next move was to set her up for a property search.
She was initially was looking for a single-family home, but found that most were either out of her price range, or in very poor condition, so I suggested she consider a condo instead.
After touring several properties, Jennifer found a very nice condo in a well-run complex that was located a short 15-minute commute from her job.
The two-bedroom end-unit was tucked away in a private corner of a secluded complex, offering quiet serenity in a sylvan setting. Jennifer also got a wood burning fireplace, private balcony, full-sized utility room with side by side W/D, extra storage locker and reserved covered parking, plus visitor parking.
I helped her with the offer, which was accepted without any counters.
I then helped her set up the inspection, get some repair estimates, and negotiate the inspection response.
The seller agreed to do the repairs, so the next step was the appraisal, which came in at value.
The transaction closed on time, and I then got to enjoy my favorite part of my job, delivering Jennifer’s keys!
She is now all settled in and enjoying her new home.
Congratulations, Jennifer!
