You really can't take a vacation from Charleston real estate
... because the craziest things might happen and today was no exception. A quick story.
My clients are due to close on a condo for sale in Mount Pleasant next Monday. It was a builders closeout and the unit was used by the builder as an office. Everything was all set.
And I happened to walk in from the beach mid morning and my phone was ringing and I may as well answer. It was the agent for the seller wanting to know if it would be all right with my clients if they sold them another unit, identical in every way and maybe even a little better; same price, same terms, everything would be the same except that it wasn't the unit that they saw.
Apparently, the builder woke up a week before closing and realized that he wouldn't have an office next Monday. So he's buying another available unit for sale in order to sell it to my clients so that he won't have to move.
But it will cost him more than just a few dollars so that he isn't inconvenienced.
And after discussing it with my clients and talking about several major advantages they would get because of the inconvenience, they agreed to accept the other unit. Closing will be delayed by a little bit but everyone seems happy.
So you really can't take a vacation from Charleston real estate because something always happens, today just happened to be a little crazier than most.
Back to the beach.
