Meagan and Milad wrote four offers before getting their offer accepted on 2956 55th Ave in Maxwell Park. The home had been sitting on the market for two months. It was not prepped and the listing agent lived out of town. The disclosure packet did not offer any reports, so we advised Meagan and Milad to offer BELOW asking price with all contingencies in place.
Once they were in escrow, they paid for reports out of pocket and found out every detail about the home. Paul went to battle for 10+ long days of negotiations with the other side. Meagan and Milad ended up with a 12k price reduction and a 3k credit toward closing costs from the seller/listing agent. Woo!!
Before moving in, Meagan and Milad made immediate upgrades to the home that not only made the place look AMAZING, but also added tremendous value for re-sale purposes.
Living underneath the cherry floors the previous owner installed were original two inch top nail hardwood floors. They restored the floors to all their glory. They also painted the interior white to brighten up the home and voila! Instant equity!
It was a long and at times stressful escrow, but Meagan and Milad were troopers. They are settling in and completing their home transformation right now. The BEST part of this story is that Meagan and Milad will have plenty of time to “nest” before the arrival of their first baby in April.
