Closing in Mount Dora

I had a closing in Mount Dora that rocked my career.

It didn't go the way anyone expected, but it also shaped the family's story.

After raising their kids in this home, they decided it was time for a new season. And Mount Dora was the perfect location for work in Orlando, and raising a family at that time.

Community,

kids activities,

restaurants

and shopping all accessible without living the city life.

Now, they chose to move on.

Being closer to family was important to them. So the same weekend we listed
their home, they moved out of state.

It was fast.

But I rolled with it.

We received an offer in less than two months,

but several extensions created angst.

The buyers needed extra time to complete underwriting. It wasn’t an easy decision for my sellers to agree to delay closing multiple times.

Carrying two mortgage payments for much longer would bring financial strain.

But they were reasonable and knew they were close to the finish line. There were early morning and late-night phone calls for reassurance and to overcommunicate on this one.

We discussed rising interest rates and other global unrest. Then, thank goodness the inspection period was completed without any issues.

But going back on the market can always bring on new challenges.

The lender, title company, and buyers’ agent were all doing everything they could to get this one closed. And this is what gave me the confidence to advise them to stick with the deal.

Through their patience and trust, we eventually made it to the closing table.

Every closing is different.

This one taught me every family's needs are unique, and some are willing to carry that extra mortgage payment in the name of just taking action.

As realtors, it's not our job to judge our clients.

It's our job to make their dreams happen.
