Traditional Real Estate Closings are Back!

After years of non-traditional closings, the traditional closing is back!


It used the be the best part about selling or purchasing a home was the actual closing....the excitement of sitting across the table from the other party and trading stories about the house or the journey of getting to that day. Then we got into the foreclosure years where the seller was never there and the closing became just another day. Well, the number of one-party closings are dwindling and once again we're coming back to a more traditional sale...

In the last month, I've been lucky enough to sit at the closing table with both buyer and seller three times.


The only banks involved in these transactions were the buyer's lender. Seller and buyer sitting across the table, talking about the house and the memories created there....and the new memories to be created. At one point during the last closing for a home sold in Dacula, I said...."This is like old times!" Everyone except for the buyer agreed.....mostly because she was a first time buyer and had no reference point! That was the best part...she purchased her first home and got to actually meet the seller!


DeeDee Smith purchased a home in Dacula Ga

Randy and Nara Taylor purchased a home in Cumming Ga

So if you think the only homes selling are the ones that are in some type of distress, you're wrong.

Traditional resales are back and selling for list price. If you're interested in selling your home and want to know how you can get your price, CALL ME NOW and let me explain how.
