Gail & Cory reached out to me in May 2020, which was at the beginning of COVID and in hindsight, the early stages of the hottest real estate market in history.
I had a South Ajax home listed for sale that I was marketing online, and they seemed really interested in it. Since it was already sold conditionally, I suggested we meet so we could discuss their home buying needs further, including their exact search criteria. Before COVID, most of our meetings with buyers were at our office. However, because most offices had to be closed to the public, we had to start using technology and we met with Cory and Gail by Zoom. If there was one positive that came out of COVID, it was the introduction of virtual meetings to the general public!
They met with one of the agents from our team and we found out they were presently renting in Toronto, had been pre-approved for a mortgage and would like to buy by September, since they were waiting to find something before setting a date for their wedding. They thought that 4 months should be enough time to find and buy something (quick note – that was ambitious). At first, they didn’t want to commit to just using us. However, after explaining the benefits of Brian Kondo Home Buying System, which includes our exclusive Buyer Satisfaction Guarantee, Home Warranty program and more, they said they would use us exclusively.
They started looking at homes right away but like I said above, this was the beginning of the hottest market in history. Although they saw a lot of homes they liked and tried offers on, it seemed like they were always in multiple offers competing with 20 – 30 other buyers!
After 10 months of looking, a lot of patience from Cory and Gail as well as our agent, Mike Koson, plus 8 offers submitted, they finally purchased a really nice home with their 9th offer! Needless to say, they were beyond ecstatic.
Sometimes, it takes a little longer to find your dream home, but with a good agent searching for and sending you listings daily and providing good real estate advice, you will find the home you love. As the saying goes, “Good things come to those who wait”
You can see what Cory and Gail had to say about working with Mike and our team below:
Mike,
We want to thank you for your efforts and patience in helping us find our dream home, even taking time out on weekends for us.
You have given us much-needed calmness, humour and insight throughout this process.
It was a real pleasure working with you over these past several months, and we hope that you do come by and knock on the door to our new home if you are ever in the neighbourhood!
