Grand Rapids Michigan Real Estate Podcast

Bob tried to overprice his home to take advantage of the market. It didn’t work, but we were still able to sell his home quickly after an adjustment.

We are here today with one of our great clients, Bob, to talk about his recent experience of buying a home and selling a home at the same time. I’ve been getting a lot of questions from people about how this can be accomplished, and I hope Bob’s story sheds some light on some ways how it can be done.

When Bob originally decided to sell, we met and discussed a lot of different things like the condition of his home, where he should be pricing, etc. At first, he decided against my advice and wanted to capitalize on the market by overpricing the house. After about a week with no bites, we met again and I advised him to come down to that original price we talked about at our first meeting.

After taking our advice, Bob’s home sold one week later. This wasn’t the only way we were able to help him through the transaction, however. After they got an offer, they faced additional challenges in the form of mountains of paperwork. It got so bad, they considered backing out of the deal.

Everything worked out in the end for Bob.

With our assurance and our staff’s assistance, we toughed it out and everything worked out in the end for Bob. Bob is grateful that we were able to resolve these issues, because he says if we hadn’t, they wouldn't have been able to. Trying to buy and sell a home on your own can be done, but it is not something we would advise.

If you have any questions for us or you need anything, give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you.
