Today, I am speaking to you with first hand experience.
Well, that is what I usually do but this one hits close to home, literally.
Unexpectedly, a month ago, my neighbor told me she was moving and that I should speak to her realtor. He called me the next day and came to see my condo. He told me he had sold my neighbor's condo in 7 days and I needed to get ready to move. I completely cleaned out my home and gave so much of my stuff away to my valet. I started setting up appointments to tour new homes that are closer to my son's school. I started to get excited.
Now, my son was not as excited. He seemed to think it was a little sad as this is where he has lived his whole life. I explained to him that we could instead see this as an adventure! We had no idea where we were going but we knew it would be amazing! We also knew that my son wouldn't have to wake up so early since we would be moving closer to his school. He started to get excited.
Within 10 days we had 5 all-cash offers. We went into contract with one buyer. They wanted the shower floor redone, we did it. I found an amazing condo closer to my son's school and we were so excited to be moving in 3 weeks. We passed the inspection and then on the day their big deposit was due, they asked if I would lower the price. I declined. This week the deal fell apart.
I am sure you can imagine how this felt. However, I am a new 2.0 version of myself and I decided to practice gratitude. Thank you for making sure the wrong buyer did not move forward. Thank you for opening up new opportunity for something much better to show up for us. Thank you for protecting me from whatever hardship would have been involved.
Today, I have no idea who will buy my condo or when it will sell or where I will be moving to or when but I do know this, it is going to be epic! I have decided that what happens in the world is always happening for me. Ironically, this is the post that had on my social media plan for yesterday, this post was created almost 2 weeks ago with no idea any of this was going to happen:

Maybe, there is something so much better out there waiting for me. If that is just as possible as the alternative then why not speak it into existence?
I don't know what you were hoping for or wanting that didn't happen yet but I hope you decide to see it as a gift and celebrate that there is something so much better on it's way for you today!

2 年Thank you for sharing, totally agree and this is about how we react to these event that will make the difference. There is always a reason why and sometimes we just need to trust in life that it is because it was not either the right time or place.

2 年Should never have had to redo anything. Should have had back up offers for n place and kept the buyer on a very tight leash. If they want to remodel, On to the next buyer. This shows strength in the product and the seller.

2 年Great Attitude. However, your realtor is an idiot. Sufferes from 1D10T-I think they call it. With 5 Cash offers, there is no way you should of been put in this position. Hopefully you found a realtor than knows what they are doing. ??
