Kyle and Jen had purchased their 1969 starter home a few years ago and, after many renovation projects decided it was time to sell. The couple was ready for a larger place to call home and had a few desired requests. After the near-total renovation project of their first home, they were excited about the opportunity of selling and purchasing a new construction home in Marietta. They had grown to love the Marietta community and wanted to put down permanent roots. They also wanted to be within walking distance of the main square in Marietta, which they frequented.
"We listed our house and by the next morning we were under contract."
Jen and Kyle Yelton were selling their starter home but needed to find a new construction home quickly in Marietta. With the help of the Carlsons, they could sell their first home and purchase their dream.
Why Connie and Dan?
The Yelton's had never sold a home before, so while they had purchased their first home, they were ready for a seasoned professional to hold their hand throughout the selling process. After the amount of time and money put into their current home, they had an opportunity to make a positive return on investment, and they wanted to make sure they had an agent knowledgeable about the Marietta market. It was vital for them to have an agent who could see the love and care they put into their home. Kyle and Jen reached out through the Carlson website at the same time as they were interviewing multiple agents. Connie and Dan reached out within the hour and offered to come by the next day to talk with Kyle and Jen. They were impressed that the Carlsons wanted to go to their home even for the initial meeting.
All four of them sat at the Yelton's kitchen table, and the Carlsons walked them through the process. They reviewed an updated market report and helped the couple understand where their home could be priced and how they could do so competitively.
Connie walked the house, and Jen described her as highly complimentary of the house they had put together. Connie seemed to understand the gravity of the situation and the mixed emotions of home selling.
When the Carlsons left, the Yeltons turned to each other and said we found our agents. They "clicked" with both Connie and Dan.
"As soon as they walked out the door, my husband and I looked at each other and said 'alright we found our Real estate agents.'"
What Stuck Out To The Yeltons?
Once the Yeltons listed their home, the offers rolled in, and by the following day, they had it under contract.
When the inspection report came back on their current home, the buyers pushed back with a long list of costly requests, which tends to happen with an older home. Connie immediately called the Yeltons to walk them through the list and helped them decide what would be fair to offer and what they could leave “as-is”.
The couple was nervous about finding their next home so quickly after accepting the new buyer's offer. Dan continued to assure them they would find a house and be happy with their choice, as he would never let them settle. Dan advocated for the new construction builders on behalf of the couple. He made sure even their minor requests were fulfilled.
