Bre and I connected on social media and within six days of our first message—I was in contract! After looking for houses to rent, I decided (on a whim) that it may be a good time to buy. I’d already been following Bre on Instagram for a few months and I loved seeing how busy she was and how quickly she sold homes. After seeing her find a house for a client who then needed to sell the house right away — I was convinced she knew what she was doing. I was shopping for my first house, so I was open to multiple types of properties. Within the first day, Bre picked up on some of the features I gravitate toward and sent me a house in one of my ideal neighborhoods, within my budget. She negotiated the deal to include new windows and $6,000 of seller-covered closing costs! She called to tell me that my offer was accepted on Monday—we had just messaged for the first time the previous Tuesday. Unfortunately, that seller and house ended up being a nightmare. Bre supported me through dozens of stressful interactions and guided me to make the best decision. I had to walk away from that deal. A few days later, Bre found more houses in locations that I loved with features I was excited about (vaulted ceilings and lofts.🤤) After about another week of searching, I chose to make an offer on a house in a neighborhood I love, that I didn’t think was possible to find something in my budget. It had only been on the market for 14 days when I saw it, but Bre still managed to negotiate $8,000 in seller-covered closing costs! This helped buy down my rate by .625% We closed in 21 days which was only two months after our first conversation and 30 days after the first house fell through. Beyond the ridiculously quick timeframe — Bre showed me 15 houses, never seemed bothered when I ran late, and always responded to my texts day or night. If you’re searching for a home in the Columbus, OH area—you can’t go wrong working with Bre Bahl.
