So happy and excited for my seller client on the sale of their home. We received 10 offers and got $65K over-list price which was the highest townhome sale in the neighborhood by a landslide!!! I think it is safe to say we hit a home run on this sale! Love what I do especially when I put tons of extra cash into my sellers pockets!

So thankful and happy for my buyer clients who just closed on a great home in the heart of Bethesda! We were persistent after losing a bunch of multiple offer situations but ended up finding a fixer upper and negotiated it down $100K off list price! I cannot wait to see the house after the renovations! Thanks for trusting me throughout the process and I am grateful to have been part of your real estate journey! Also got to take care and hangout with the cutest little 1 year old during most of the showings, Bodhi! ππ»ππ₯π«΅π»β€οΈπΎπ‘
