Transcontinental Transaction
Referrals are the highest compliment I ever receive, so I was thrilled when a friend called to put me in touch with her friends who had a condo to sell. It was a sweet condo for sale in a darling little condominium complex complete with an in-unit laundry area and a cute balcony off of the dining room.
We set about getting the condo ready for sale, we signed paperwork and prepared marketing material We did a little staging, took great photos and I wrote a description to grab the attention of buyers. We were all set! The condo was on the market.
A week or so later, I received a call from another Realtor who had recently showed the condo to a buyer who was ready to make an offer. Sweet! Here’s the funny part: I was in Florida at the time. The seller (my client) was in Minnesota. The buyer was in New York. The buyer’s agent was in Seattle. This was going to be a transcontinental transaction! No problem!
With today’s technology (we love it and we hate it, don’t we?), this would be a snap. Paperwork was completed, phone calls were made, negotiations took place, documents were signed and the condo was sold! Between cell phones calls, texts, digital signature programs and e-mail the whole process was straight forward and seamless. The seller was thrilled! The buyer was elated! And the other Realtor and I were happy to have a positive, painless experience that produced happy clients.
Perhaps you know a friend or relative that needs to buy or sell a property while not in Madison. It’s a piece of cake with technology. Have them give me a call at 608-333-4406. Hassle free, cross-country transactions can be trouble-free and fun! In fact, I may leave town just so I can be involved in another one! As always, I’m happy to help!
