Patience, sadly, is not one of my virtues. But, as some of you know, I married ‘up’ and Eric is a very patient man . . . he kind of has to be to be married to me. That is why I like to frequently remind him: “High Maintenance, High Performance”!
So, on to the point of this story!
On March 21, 2011, we listed a beautiful, custom built, upper-bracket home in Minnetrista. Sited perfectly on a 9 acre lot and bordered by Painters Creek, it was - and is still - one of my favorite homes. Every detail of the home was carefully and thoughtfully designed - the result of an amazing collaboration between the sellers and SKD Architects. Custom built by MS&I, with the finest amenities and quality finishes, the style of the home was unique and dubbed “Urban Prairie”.
After listing the home, we previewed the property with Coldwell Banker Burnet’s Distinctive Homes Agents and it was very well received. Within a month, we had an offer (I actually had represented the buyer) but we couldn’t come to terms so the buyer moved on and the home stayed on market.
Last December, 2011, we got a Purchase Agreement from another Coldwell Banker Agent. Eric worked with the sellers and negotiated with the Buyer’s Agent for 6 MONTHS and finally came to terms in May 2012! The sale closed this month, capping off a long culmination of conversations, negotiations, cooling off periods, and more negotiations. Eric’s patience and strong negotiating skills definitely paid off! Here’s some pictures of this amazing property!
