Chronicle of a First Time Home Buyer Chapter 6

On June 23rd, Rob contacted me about see a home that was back on the market. 5308 Georgia Peach is a 4 bd 2 ba 2020 sq ft home on a lake. This is the home they saw listed that started their home search.

It had a contract on it that fell through, I talked with the listing agent and found out the bank would accept the asking price of $174,000. I wrote up a contract for $180,000 with the seller paying $6,000 towards cosing cost, before going to show the home to Rob and Tina.

Rob and Tina both really liked the home and were ready to sign the contract. We talked about the timeline that would follow after submitting the contract, and both decided they needed to check on finances before signing.

I told them I wanted them to be sure, and to take the time they needed, but homes in this price range are not sitting on the market for long. Rob said he understood that and was willing to lose the home rather than jumping in without everything in order. And the home in Bay Berry Lakes was a good backup.

5308 Georgia Peach went under contract on 7/6 and the home in Bay Berry Lakes went under contract on 7/7.

Rob and Tina have decided to postpone the search for a new home until August, when his new union contract at work will be final.
