Last month, despite a falling market and rising interest rates, we listed and sold a home in Bellevue’s Vasa Park neighborhood in under two weeks. As mentioned above, our team did the pre-work to get this home move-in ready before we listed – and that made the difference.
I spent 6 hours over two days with these buyers. They had been looking for more than a year, without even making one offer. In the end, they told me that the fact that I personally held the open houses, along with my vendor contacts and knowledge of the home, were the major reasons they pulled the trigger on writing an offer. I put the package together for them.
It’s now a buyer’s market – and that makes having a dedicated, experienced listing agent all the more important.
