Going The Extra Mile For Buyers

Just submitted an offer this morning on a terrific riverfront home for a buyer from Texas. How it all came about is something we do all the time but I realized some buyers may not be having a similar experience with their Realtor.

I spent a couple of days touring properties from Grayling to Irons with this young buyer who is moving from Texas this summer. We found a couple of good possibilities and actually submitted an offer on a very charming cabin on The Little Manistee River. Buyer and Seller were quite a ways apart and couldn't come to terms so the seller agreed to allow the buyer to have an appraisal done at their expense to get a good third party opinion of value. While waiting for the results of the appraisal, I headed down for a weekend as a vendor at The Midwest Fly Fishing Exposition. I ran into a friend who lives on The Little Manistee and he told me of a property that was going to come up for sale right next door. I happened to know the river there well and, based on his description of the home, it sounded like an ideal fit and a terrific price.

I contacted my buyer who was still awaiting the appraisal on the other home and he seemed excited about the new property. I drove down yesterday morning and took a ton of photos that represented the property attributes, both positive and negative. Sent the photos to the buyer in Texas along with a lengthy description and the very attractive price the property would be listed when it hits the market. After a brief conversation we drafted an offer and sent it back and forth for signatures. It's now in The Seller's hands for consideration but I'm confident we'll get it for our buyer!
