This purchase involved helping my buyer secure a well-maintained and updated home in Detroit while navigating both pricing leverage and financing challenges.
The property was originally priced significantly higher than where the market ultimately supported value. Through careful analysis and negotiation, we successfully got the buyer’s offer accepted nearly $30,000 below the original asking price. Although the inspection went well overall, I still negotiated $3,000 in seller concessions to further protect the buyer.
The home appraised without issue thanks to clear communication with the listing agent and use of my appraisal care package, which helped ensure the appraiser had proper context for value.
Mid-transaction, a financing issue arose that could have delayed or jeopardized the closing. I quickly connected the buyer with a lender who was able to step in, complete the loan successfully, and reduce the buyer’s closing costs, allowing us to close within a reasonable timeframe despite the lender change.
The buyer was very happy with the outcome and appreciated the protection and problem-solving required to bring the transaction to a successful close.
