Buyer Success Story: Pay Dirt!

Jonny has been renting outside Central Square in Cambridge for a long time.

"Too long," says Jonny. "Make that forever," he adds with a smile.

Jonny is ready to buy. Really ready. He wants a little house. Two bedrooms. A nice  home office. Off-street parking.

"And a little garden for my tomatoes," Jonny says. "Dirt!"

A search can take weeks. Sometimes months. Even years.

Ten days into searching, a real opportunity emerges on the market. One that ticks every box. Including a garden.

I tell Jonny he will benefit by doing these things:

1. Visiting with a home inspector for a consultation before the offer deadline
2. Making his very best offer
3. Writing the seller a letter

Jonny does all of the above.

And sure enough – SUCCESS. Jonny wins out in the bidding.

"I can plant my tomatoes!" exclaims a beaming Jonny upon learning his good news.

"Pay dirt!" I reply.
