Tale of the Sale: From Setback to Smooth Landing in Buena Vista
Real estate journeys rarely follow a straight line—and this one was no exception. These ✨Marr-velous✨ clients had just sold their home and were ready to close on their dream property in Buena Vista. I had the honor of representing them on both the sale and the purchase, and everything was lined up for a same-day closing. Easy peasy... until it wasn’t.
A Smooth Start… Until the Last Minute
The first half of the day went off without a hitch. But just as we were getting ready to celebrate, some last-minute documentation issues came up—on the day of closing. The lender needed additional info, and we were suddenly looking at a multi-day delay. My clients were left in limbo, without a home for the weekend, and not a whole lot of clarity on what would happen next.
Enter Plan B
After a week of waiting and still no resolution, I knew it was time to pivot. I called up one of my trusted local lenders and explained the situation. They jumped in immediately, offering a 10-day close (yes, really!), a full percentage lower on the mortgage rate, and nearly $8,000 less in closing costs. Talk about a win.
The Power of Local Connections
Thanks to our amazing local lender and title team, we pulled off a seamless close in just 10 days. I’m incredibly grateful to the seller and their agent for being flexible while we made the switch, and to my clients for trusting the process even when things felt uncertain.
In the end? We celebrated with smiles all around—and my clients are now happily settling into their new Buena Vista home.
This one’s going in the books as another Tale of the Sale that proves how powerful local expertise, strong relationships, and a little perseverance can be.
