Closed | 1425 45th Ave. #2, Capitola

Buyer Co-Represented with @realtortowatch

What a whirlwind! Jasmine and I got a call from a friend of ours, letting us know that their cousin had just toured a property in Capitola and was ready to make an offer but needed an agent. Within a matter of minutes we were on the phone with our future client walking him through the offer process and pulling disclosures.

In another couple of days we had submitted our offer and negotiations began. We were competing against another offer, coming in around the same price. But our consistent communication with the listing agent was setting us apart. On top of that, we were given the opportunity to write a letter to the seller explaining why our client was interested in this particular property.

Not many sellers are willing to accept them anymore, due to potential issues with fair housing and discrimination issues, so we were very grateful the seller was open to reading ours. Our client explained that, that particular property was located steps away from one of his closest relatives and how wonderful it would be to live nearby. Due our letter and proactive approach, our offer was accepted with a loan and investigation contingency!

Not only was this a quick negotiation, but this was also our first crypto client as well! (Thus the loan contingency.) We had some concern at first, but working with a lender you trust and who has a proven track record puts one’s mind at ease. So I would like to thank @maxbottaro1 and his team at PNC for ensuring the smooth and timely closing on this sale.

Have questions about the shifting market? Jasmine and I are here to help. Don’t hesitate to reach out!
