How exciting! Thank you very much, Meg, for so kindly mentioning me and my staging services in this fantastic blog post. It was such a pleasure wrapping my creative arms around this fantastic listing. It truly has so much to offer and the neighborhood is just lovely! I now look forward to this home receiving a new family to love and enjoy it for many years to come. The stage has been set and it's time to get this beauty SOLD..."Go Team"!!!
Second, I can report that there is an offer - now signed - on this home. One of the groups that came through the first open when it was only 10 degrees outside returned with their agent. We also had a second offer and the sellers have taken the first.
Now, be advised, it is a long way from receiving and accepting an offer to closing:
- Attorneys review the actual wording and have three days after receipt of the purchase offer in which to do this.
- Then inspections take place, usually within 5 to 10 days. The major inspection is the home inspection which even in a newer house like this can take three hours.
- A radon test is often ordered by the buyers even if the house has a working radon mitigation system. Most tests take 48 hours - others can take a week from start to finish.
- A survey needs to be done.
- The abstract (the history of the house) needs to be updated.
- If the seller is getting a mortgage all that financial paperwork must be in to the company and checked.
- An appraisal of the house is ordered.
- Only when everything is in place do the attorneys schedule the closing. Phew!
So thank you, Lorrie, for helping to get this ball rolling!
