True RE Professional Navigates Crumbling Market to Complete Leisure Village Home Sale
We hired Dianna in July, 2022, to handle the sale of my mother's Leisure Village home. We expected a quick sale, but quickly saw the market deteriorate with a historic spike in mortgage interest rates, a precipitous decline in housing affordability, and severe slow down in market activity.
In other words, it was time for the professionals in the real estate industry to take over and go to work.
Anyone can sell houses when rates are three percent with an excess of buyers and an inventory shortage. Homes sell in a few days, full ask or more, with sellers enjoying multiple offers and tons of leverage. Conditions change, and the agent's job gets a lot tougher. Dianna rose to the occasion as market conditions tanked. She did a great job showcasing the property, following up on prospective buyers, and negotiating fairly and professionally when the time came. She was professional, thorough, detailed, and responsive throughout.
Dianna and her team also made the move easy. As my Mom was transitioning to assisted living, there was a lot to the exit and clean up of the home. This was easy for us as Dianna's team did all the "heavy lifting" and enabled us to focus on the most important things about the transition, not how to get rid of an old sofa.
Ultimately, we executed on an all-cash ten-day close offer and achieved our goals for the listing and sale process. We will always be grateful to Dianna for a job superbly done by a true real estate professional!
