I'm Dan Polimino with ColoradoDreamHouse.com and this week's market update for the final week of June and the first week of July, I hope everyone has a terrific holiday weekend coming up.
Alright, this week, I'm talking about the fact that I have to eat my words. It was just a couple of weeks ago that I was talking about the gap between buyers and sellers and I was talking about the fact that it had not narrowed, that it was as wide as it ever could be. Buyers were not getting along with sellers. Sellers didn't like buyers and vice-versa and it was a very acrimonious relationship.
Well, lo and behold. No sinner do I put that broadcast out, let some buyers come along that I'm helping from Virginia. They were the nicest people in the world. We saw about 40 homes before we found the home for them and put it under contract, but during the entire process, they couldn't be nicer. They were very respectful of my time and very respectful of the sellers. At the end, when we did get it under contract, they made an offer, the sellers countered the offer. My buyers accepted, there was absolutely almost no negotiation whatsoever. Everybody was completely reasonable and as the buyers were heading back to Virginia, they wanted to stop and see the house one more time, and before they went to the airport, they stopped and looked at the house and they left two bottles of wine and a card for the people who were selling the home.
Now, I don't know what was in the card, but I can only guess that it was something very nice talking about how excited they are to purchase this home. And then as they were leaving me, they couldn't thank me enough for helping them find their home and they gave me a gift as well.
It just totally restored my entire faith in people and in this real estate transaction process just when I thought it was as ugly as it could be, along came these nice folks from Virginia. Well, I know it's a bit of a long story, but I think it was worth telling. I hope everybody has a terrific Fourth of July weekend.
