A Roller Coaster Ride Ends High for a Harrisburg NC Home Seller!

So you have a darling little ranch home in a very established and desirable community, just north of Charlotte NC in the little town of Harrisburg NC. Folks flock to Harrisburg NC because of the low property taxes ($0.84 per $100 assessed) and the fabulous public schools and the mere 20 minute commute into uptown/downtown/center city Charlotte NC.

You put that lovely home in Harrisburg Park on the market. It sells in three days (yes, some houses in our market still sell quickly, if you want to buy a home in Harrisburg NC you need to be ready to make a decision).

And then, one week before closing, that call comes in. You listing agents out there know THAT call. The one that reminds us to tell sellers NOT to spend their money until the deed has been recorded and the check has cleared the bank. Your heart sinks, because you have to call the seller and tell them that closing isn’t going to happen.

In this particular situation, it’s hard to be mad at the buyer. See, she was separated from her husband, and they decided to put the marriage back together. So that’s a happy ending for the buyer-it’s always good to see a family that decides to give it a fair shake!

Luckily, we had two buyers in the wings who were hoping against hope that the house would come available again (there is very rarely anything on the market in Harrisburg Park and when something comes up, it gets snapped up FAST.). Both of them came out at the drop of a hat last night. Of course, they both wanted the house.

So less than 24 hours after the original buyer termination, we had two new offers on the table. And the seller is quite happy with the outcome. She didn’t sleep much last night, neither did the potential buyers, but we now have a patched-up marriage, a happy buyer who got the dream house they had been wanting, and a seller who didn’t skip a beat in her move. One sad buyer who lost out in the multiple offer situation, but we will find them another great home.

All’s well that ends well in Harrisburg NC. If YOU are thinking of buying or selling a home in Harrisburg NC, you know who to call. Leigh Brown knows the area-lives here, works here, shops here-and she can sell your home, too.

***Caveat-this is not a normal situation and we can not guarantee that you too will have multiple offers on your home. We’ll try our darnedest but we just can’t make the darn crystal ball work all the time!***
