Moiz and Sakera were referred to the Ron Sitrin Team by my neighbor Ai-Mei Chang (another connection made while walking my dog Hershey).
Their story was an interesting one, and a bit of a challenge too. The market was still red hot, and as buyers they had the added pressure of living out of state, not knowing the area, and having already sold their home in Indiana. The clock to buy was ticking fast.
After a few home buying trips, it became increasingly difficult for both of them to fly in on every house hunting expedition. The frustration mounted as many of the homes they liked were receiving 6-10 offers. Even if they both flew in and made an offer, there was no guarantee they would win.
Eileen, on the Ron Sitrin Team, did a lot of advance scouting for Moiz and Sakera. Eileen pre-screened a house for them that appeared to be a good fit. Moiz was already planning to be in town, and none too soon as offers were due the next day at noon.
Upon arrival, Moiz rushed to the house and had to make a big decision. Should they buy the house without Sakera getting to visit it first?
To add to the pressure, in order to win, they would need to make their offer non contingent so there was no backing out.
Ultimately, Moiz decided to go for it, wrote the offer and it was accepted.
When Sakera flew in for settlement and saw the house for the first time, fortunately for Moiz, she loved it.
But Moiz was not out of the woods yet. The sellers of the home had just celebrated their 43rd wedding Anniversary. To surprise his wife, the husband mowed a giant 43 inside a heart in the backyard. It was huge and all the neighbors could see it.
So not only did Moiz find the
perfect house, he’d unwittingly set the bar pretty high for how he’d have to surprise Sakera for their anniversaries.
Fortunately he has a few months to come up with something; in the meantime there’s a lot of unpacking to do. Congrats to Moiz and Sakera, and to the celebrating sellers, too!
