An uncomplicated Charleston real estate transaction
I've noticed that I tend to write about difficult Charleston real estate transactions because they are probably more interesting but there are certainly lots of uncomplicated transactions with happy sellers and happy buyers agreeing and buying and selling a home in Charleston.
I can tell tales of buyers who liked the very first home they saw, maybe took a look at a few others just to be sure it was just perfect and closed their purchase with no hitches within a month but how interesting is that compared to stubborn sellers who (as an example) value their home at $150 per square foot when similar homes in their neighborhood have sold for $100 per square foot or the reverse, lowball buyers who insist on offering $100 per square foot when similar homes have sold for $150.
Or which is more interesting, the ease of making appointments by calling Centralized Showing Service and getting confirmed appointments quickly and easily vs. having to call the listing agent personally who doesn't answer phone calls or emails and when you finally reach them, find out that it just isn't a convenient time for the seller to show their home and wouldn't another day be better.
And writing about working seamlessly with lenders who keep the transaction on track to close on time is so much more boring than writing about lenders who hold up the transaction with unnecessary delays. Or realistic buyers who request appropriate repairs based on a home inspection and sellers who fix any problems discovered vs. the craziness of resolving a home repair negotiation between buyers who want the home to be put back into original condition and sellers who think their home is just fine the way it is.
But be assured whether you are buying or selling a home in Charleston, even if I don't write about them very often, you can have a smooth and hassle free transaction.
