There's a lot people don't see between "for sale" and "sold." This series pulls back the curtain on one real sale — the strategy, the setbacks, and the problem-solving most sellers never know happened on their behalf.
Each part covers a different phase of the same transaction: 142 days, 35 showings, two contracts, and a three-hour delay on closing day that almost unraveled everything.
What am I actually paying for?
142 days behind one closing — the full story, from a nine-year relationship to a deal that almost fell apart twice.
Pricing is a hypothesis, not a guess
Why the list price kept moving, and what the market data was telling us each week.
When the deal falls apart
A cash buyer in tears, a five-minute phone call, and how the sale was saved.
The negotiation nobody sees
Inspections, repairs, financing, and the appraisal contingency — where deals actually live or die.
Realtors just show up on closing day
Two transactions. One missing title agent. Three hours of limbo — and what it actually takes to save a deal on closing day.
