Kelly is an experienced Realtor. Recently, she listed and sold one house and purchased two properties for 1031 Exchange of Rental properties. She has the knowledge to stage the house nicely, and sold it to almost the high limit of buyer's mortgage company's appraisal value. For buying replacements, we made 4 bids, and won two critical ones so that we won them at multiple bidding environment, with minimum premium over listing prices. She recommended us to make offers highlighted with "what sellers want" in mind, For example, quick close of escrow, as-is, no appliances warranty necessary, and let current tenant or owner stay on for transition.
To conclude simply, about what she did for us. She sold three hundred thousand dollars more than we expected, and bought replacements about two hundred thousand less. What a sweet memory for this investor!
