Now this is a miracle, Part 2
 

For those of you who have read part one, just scroll down to the bottom:

Part 1: We were at the realtor's office this morning signing papers for the house to be a rental when in walks our listing agent and says "Ahem, I know you took the house off the market, but I have a young couple who have horses and need a four bedroom and are interested in your house AND HAVE CASH and asked if you might consider putting it back up." I told her that the house looks like a bomb went off..boxes everywhere and piles of give away things to various charities on the floor and things are generally chaos. She said, they know you are moving and still are very anxious to see the place. I said, OK...but prisitine and neat and shiny it is NOT. I don't have the time or energy to do much neatening! Cross some fingers!!!! PS:they are coming within the hour to look!!! UPDATE: They came and looked around the property and acreage and outbuildings for a long while and then just strolled through the house. I tell you, horse people want good land for the horses and the house is secondary. They seemed to like everything, so who knows? Hoping for good news!

PART 2:__________________

We got a full price offer, all cash, 90 minutes after they were here. WOW...realtor said she thought it was legit and that they were bringing in the ernest check on Thursday. Once that is in hand, I will maybe start believing this really happened. If not, we already have a renter lined up, so either way, we are OK.

Congrats! We are having our second open house Sunday. These things happen for a reason. Maybe we will be surprised also ! :wave:

Ya can't beat that deal!

What a nice way to start my day hearing this wonderful news ...:angel:
Good luck and see you at the pool.

Sounds like "The Deal of the Decade" to me!!! Hope it really is an earnest and sincere offer and that it gets through closing in fine shape.

Congrats!

Bill :)

Un milagro perfecto! And you ALLOWED it to come to you by "going with the flow" and being flexible. :clap2:
I am sure your buyers are thrilled as well..... that's the neat thing about miracles.... perfect vibration for all involved! Even for those who hear your story!
Thanks for sharing.... you have now set the tone for a wonderful new chapter!

wow
 

That's all I can say is WOW! Lots of good news! I am sure this encourages the many who have homes on the market! Thanks for sharing!

Yea Ladydoc!
 

Sounds like good news!.....Get your golf clubs out and get ready for a golf cart ride for life!....Yea!.....

Adding some positive news from here in Ohio. Received an offer this morning, been told to expect another one this afternoon.

:oops:I have to correct myself here. I had forgotten that in 1977 we were having a new home built, and in the process we just happened to mention it to our neighbors across the street and that we would be selling our then current home and moving. Upon their asking, we told them how much we would be asking for it. Next thing we knew we were contacted by someone they knew. They offered us our full asking price, not conditions or contingincies, and our house was sold before we even listed the property. So I guess I lied and that you can beat that deal Ladylake, but it appears that you'll come in a very close second! http://www.casachayanne.com/graphics/goodluck.gif

Wow - that is really good news. Ladydoc, our offer happened in a similar way on Christmas Eve 2.5 years ago.

Gracie - I knew that your beautiful house would sell quickly!

But what about the house???? :1rotfl:



Seriously, congrats on getting something(s) put on the table for you to consider so quickly. And to have TWO offers to mull over!!!! GOOD FOR YOU, GRACIE!!

Bill :wave:

to Gracie Girl
 

Wow now that is exciting too.....The Villages needs you there to impart all your Graciousness full time!

Congrats. :mademyday:

It's nice to hear how things can change so quickly with great results.

Gracie:

I knew this would happen for you in a short time as one buyer was there for two hours. I hope you get full asking price and then some. Maybe a higher bid than asking price.

It couldn't happen to a nicer person. :)

Now, you start thinking about floor plans, etc for your new beautiful home.

Best Wishes.

Good Things Happen to Good People!!
 

Hope it is a bidding war, Gracie!! We want you in TV as soon as possible!! We cannot wait to get there ourselves in 2013. Hope we have such luck in selling our home in Texas!

OMG, I just realized that if Gracie has a bidding war going on, she might get anti-war protesters picketing her house... and that wouldn't be good for closing a deal!:throwtomatoes:

Dear Gracie
 

See? That's why I said, 'keep your toe shoes polished'.... ;)!!
deb

What a story! Congrats!

Told ya, Soon....very soon!
 

What great news for you Gracie, and ladydoc what a story! Congratulations to you both!

Congrats, Gracie! Isn't it ironic that you were hoping for just one offer and you end up with two in the same day?? Great for you!

The real estate gods must be looking over those of us in TV trying to sell property in this very difficult market....Lets hope he/she continues.

What great news ladydoc and Gracie. Hope all works out and your on your way to The Villages soon.

Bill:

Funny! You are a hoot. :clap2:

Gracie:

Are your bags packed to go to TV? :)

Happy days are here
 

Let me be one of the 1st to congratulate you. I knew it was coming! Hope ours is on the way too!

Congratulations on such great news, Ladydoc and Gracie! Hope this is a start of good news like this for the others who are awaiting sales.

Thanks for all the cheers and best wishes. The buyers came by today and asked if they could show the house to a relative. We said yes and they were so excited. Makes me feel more hopeful this will really happen. I just hope I don't have to write tomorrow that the money was a no show. Still have aways to go before I start breathing again.

Luck be a Lady(doc) tonight! Thanks for sharing the wonderful news-- in real time. I'm overjoyed for you on the 11th hour offer. That's awesome.

Wow, I feel like I've died and gone to heaven I'm so excited.

You're so excited you........could........just.........(wait for it)...........p, p? :ohdear:
