Complicated deal. Got it done anyway.
Got the home under contract fast. Then title issues surfaced — land documentation problems that took nine months to untangle. Edward stayed in it, walked the seller through every step of the process, and closed it.
9 months of complications. Still closed.
$30,000 in value before they moved in.
A young couple buying their first home. Negotiated a $10K price reduction and a $10K credit at closing. The home appraised $10K above the purchase price. They had immediate equity the day they got the keys.
$20K off asking + $10K credit + $10K in instant equity
Sitting on market. Became a great deal.
The listing had been sitting. Edward identified the leverage, negotiated the price down significantly, and then convinced the seller's agent to have the seller cover every single repair on the inspection list.
Price down. Every repair covered by seller.
