I live at 2011 Harrington Ave NE. You helped us get our duplex.  

I was just listening to some horror stories on TV about agents working for the sellers and all the things that could happen. 

It made me think again how supportive you were and how you went above and beyond what was necessary.  Having the garage has been such a blessing and it was your work that made it possible. 

Living next to my daughter and son-in law has worked out even better than we expected.  We have been great support for each other and our love and closeness as a family has only grown. 

You did something wonderful for us.  I just thought you should know that. 

Thank You Connie Williamson.

The   Williamson's had rented this property for 25 years.  The buyer didn't have an agent because the first thing I do when I list a property with a tenant is try to sell it to the tenant.  My seller had asked them before he listed it, but I was able to ask them (check their credit and income) and  provide them assurance they could indeed get a loan approved.

This garage was tricky.   For the neighborhood's sake The Williamson's needed a garage to contain his many collectibles.   I suggested it.

The 203 K loan that will roll an improvment into the buyer's loan was a way to get a garage on that property, but the interest rate would be a half percent more.  So we raised the price of the duplex by the $12,000 and the garage builder was paid out of closing. It took another 30 days to close the transaction but it did the trick.

A long time renter now becomes an owner. Market rate for the buyer's new loan.   A happy seller. And a new garage to improve the neighborhood.

The moral to the story...trust your agent, especially if it is me!
