CHAPTER 12 Real Estate Success St e Success Stories
House sold well over asking! Today marks one year since I accepted an offer for the sale of 64 Arthur Street North Guelph. I remember the day very well as I was quite nervous, not sure what would happen and if the house would sell as you thought. You were right of course! I was able to review the offers with you and Lindsay in your offices and my son in law Milton and I at his house in Kitchener. My recall is how you walked us through each offer in order and then answered my questions. You appeared very well prepared through the computer lens. You might remember I was anxious to move forward with my retirement and wanted to wrap everything up by the end of the year. You negotiated quite successfully with the winning bidder and obtained the closing for the date I wanted before Christmas. The house sold well over asking. You told me lawyers don’t do a lot of work between Christmas and New Years. Imagine my surprise at this as I have spent most of my work life in the non profit or municipal sector where workers only get statutory holidays off. I was ready for a new beginning. The sale of my home of forty five years was the last block to get started on retirement life. However, everything unfolded as you predicted and I am remain so very grateful for your knowledge and expertise getting me to the house sold conclusion. Your professionalism and calm guidance during the process alleviated much of my concern for achieving this goal. Lindsay and you were most helpful with suggestions to prepare the house for staging. The number of views and home visits during the COVID period were a strong indicator that your marketing plans were right on target. I really appreciated that you communicated regularly with me and were very responsive. 93
