It was a risk worth taking! This first-time homebuyer couple had been looking for their starter home for a few months but then the potential of their forever home became available, but with some risk involved. This home was an estate sale and was originally listed as a land sale since no one was allowed in the home until all items had been moved out. But, there was competition already. Running numbers for worst-case scenario on improvements needed and balancing that with the neighborhood sales, the buyers put in a strong offer without going crazy on price and won!
The bonus: once we got into the home, repairs were not a worse-case scenario on a lot of major items; it was mainly cosmetic work. They walked away with their forever home at a bargain price!
