This deal taught me a lesson I’ll never forget.
We got this home under contract in less than 30 days with a qualified buyer. Everything was moving exactly how it should.
Then everything changed.
Our seller went under contract on their next home and later found out the driveway wasn’t private like they were told. That information was represented to us during the process, and unfortunately it turned out not to be the case.
That one detail flipped the entire situation.
They wanted out, but the contract didn’t protect them for that. Walking away meant losing their deposit.
What followed was months of back and forth, stress, and difficult conversations.
In the end, they still lost part of their deposit.
And to keep the deal moving, we stepped in and covered a portion of that loss.
And somehow, we were still the ones blamed.
This business will humble you. You can do everything right and still end up in a situation like this.
But here’s what matters
We stayed, we fought, and we got it closed.
Not every deal is easy. Not every client will understand.
But experiences like this are what make you sharper, stronger, and better for the next one.
This is exactly why who you work with matters. Not every agent will stand in the fire with you when things go wrong.
