Deal of 2010

When first time buyers Debbie and Robbie came to us to discuss buying their first home, the three of us had no idea what an adventure we were embarking on.  Homes in the $145K price range tend to be pretty rough, mostly short sales and very neglected  We saw plenty that fit all three descriptions for sure.  Determined to find the diamond in the ruff we continued hunting.  For Debbie and Robbie it was simple to see that this 1 bedroom bungalow was going to polish up well.  With a spacious updated kitchen, formal dining area, huge living room and tremendous over sized lot this house was a score.  Luckily, although it was a short sale, the price had already been approved by the bank which made the response time for their offer mere weeks instead of months.  Once we had the offer in we were able to negotiate seller paid closing costs, a new roof, and a new sewer line-unheard of victories for short sales!  Within 15 minutes of being new home owners Debbie and Robbie had already begun ripping out the royal blue carpeting, exposing beautiful hardwood floors and exploring the urban farming opportunities on their gigantic lot.  NE 60th is a fantastic close in location for such an amazing deal!
