We won it primarily due to carefully prepared buying strategy, suggested by Enrica.
They say when life gives you lemons, try making a lemonade. Well, life threw some lemons my way recently, and I can tell you that lemonade tastes way better if you have Enrica on your side. Having sold the previous house under distress and not being able to find decent rental for several desperate, tense weeks, quite surprisingly a small condo popped up on the market with a very short fuse, so to speak. Open House was Sunday afternoon, and sellers were planning to open offers in couple of days. Brain engaged full throtle and told me: You gotta call Enrica - like right now. So glad I did.
She immediately started digging all relevant information about the property, as well as well kept secrets in terms of neighborhood, future developments around it, etc. Stuff that I normally would have no idea that I should be even checking. Before preparing the offer, we talked, debated and strategized for hours, since we knew that we'll likely have some competition on our hands. Little did we know that we'd be fighting with 6 other parties, nonetheless, which we learned the next day. As you can imagine, after gut-wrenching hours of back and forth negotiations, we finally won the hidden gem condo with a million dollar view of Lake Washington. And we won it primarily due to carefully prepared buying strategy, suggested by Enrica. The best part of the story is that it truly looked Enrica was as excited as myself, if not more, once we got it. It sincerely showed that she really does care and will do necessary, and beyond, for her clients!
Blessed to have had her on my side!
