In the fall of 2023 while at an open house in Fishers, IN I met a wonderful young couple just starting their home search. That day they decided for the 1st time to visit some open houses to get to know Fishers because they wanted to move from the south side. I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time that day because we hit it off right away and I set up a search for them immediately with their criteria of what kind of home they were looking for, what neighborhoods, and what price point.
For a few months they casually looked because their lease had a few months to go before renewal. I took them on a few home tours to see homes on the market so they could understand the various price points and home conditions depending on the neighborhood, school district, proximity to the freeway…all the things. We had a lot of fun!
One evening after seeing many existing homes, I suggested we go look at a model home of a builder that was just starting a new phase close to their family in an area they liked and around their price point. They loved it!
We did a zoom call on a Saturday morning (during one of my Daughter’s volleyball tournaments) with the builder rep and we negotiated the price down (quite a bit!) and we negotiated the builder to pay some closing costs! We ended up being UNDER their budget/target purchase price AND the build completion was in line with when their lease was up so they would not have a month with double payments (rent + 1st Mortgage payment).
The picture in this post is the builder photo but my lovely young couple scored all the above with the model BUT their home has a THREE car garage. SCORE! They both had so much fun watching their NEW home being built and the closing day walk thru was extremely exciting and rewarding. The best part is I feel we’re friends and we live so close I occasionally see her at my gym and we can work out together. This “job” is amazing. Thank you to these trusting First Time Homebuyers!
