The One That Got Away


My client was "in mourning" for the overpriced listing that we made an offer on last week, but enough days have passed, and she was able to look at her number two choice more logically. This was the beautiful and reasonably priced property that I wrote about in "Location, location, location."
No, the townhouse didn't move, but she looked at the distance to the nearest shopping center and decided that she could live with the short drive after all. (Especially since this place needs no work, and is priced at about $200,000 less than the first.)
As soon as we came back this afternoon, I called the listing agent, only to find out that the property was in counter offer. Then the agent called back to tell me that the counter has been accepted. Timing is everything in this business, and these few days were crucial.
