From Crushing Losses to HOME

You know those times when you feel like you keep getting smacked down in life? Days are hard but you keep putting one foot in front of the other. That is what my clients did.

During the last 2 years, my buyers had to close down their 30+ year business because their landlord did such a huge rate hike on their space. Then after the hurricanes, when the city was doing an inspection of their home, work that hadn’t been permitted from 50 YEARS ago was discovered.

Thus began the 2 year struggle with the permit and zoning departments. Because the city wouldn’t allow permits, INSURANCE said they wouldn’t pay out and no contractor would bid on the project or touch it with a 10’ pole.

Ken and Jill thought this was their forever home. It is a gorgeous waterfront property here in St Pete, FL. After 2 years of being homeless and not being able to move forward, they had to come to the crushing decision that they had to sell. Whoever bought it would be dropping the house to the ground.

It was painful and demoralizing but ended in a win. This was cooperation and teamwork at its best. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. for the referring agent who was very clear that with her client load, she could not adequately take care of them and referred them to me, knowing that we would get it done, while being gentle and kind to them.

Kerry Higgins and I doubled down until we were able to find them HOME! Please join me in sending blessings as they begin healing and settling into their new home.

If you’ve been waiting for right timing to sell or buy and find yourself feeling frustrated or unsure, give me a call, text or DM me. I’m here to help you find the opportunities available in this current market.
