We’ve been keeping a close eye on Zillow’s FSBO listings almost daily, searching for new novation opportunities. Today, our team found a single-family home in Meriden, CT, listed close to retail value. Both Nick and I made separate calls to connect with the seller and set up a meeting. Today, I went solo and had the chance to build strong rapport with Robert, the homeowner. Robert shared that the property used to belong to his parents, but they’re now in full-time care and won’t be returning home. We spoke for about forty minutes, during which I made a point to listen carefully to everything he had to say. Robert was fairly firm at his list price. This was a problem that needed a solution if he was going to successfully sell the property. I walked Robert through some MLS comparables, explaining that his listing was slightly overpriced based on the local market and the condition of similar properties. After reviewing the data together, Robert understood and agreed to a revised offer that allows us to list the home on his behalf, for an agreed upon amount, and allows us to take the difference as payment for our services. Nick and I are set to meet with him tomorrow morning to finalize everything in person and put pen to paper. We’re committed to providing Robert with a seamless, hands-off, white-glove experience and expect to net around $25K-$30K within 45 days or less. Redefined x Astra - Chris
