I had the pleasure once again to help a buyer who is active duty military and his wife make a move from Montana to NH. That in itself can be a challenge moving across the country. They didn't want to rent, they wanted to make a home purchase and be part of the process every step of the way from making trips to NH to view homes, visit and prepare for his new job, make offers, attend inspections, and be in person for final walk through and closing.
I connected them with one of my lenders, Stacey Goupil Adams at Fairway Mortgage and had many calls to discuss location and proximity to his new job in Northern NH/VT. We talked about goals, ideal homes, hobbies, number of bedrooms, who would be visiting and from where and will there be room to host, you name it we talked about it.
We spent an entire day looking at homes in Colebrook NH just before foliage had really begun on a beautiful Fall day in Northern NH. We identified two properties to consider an offer on and ultimately chose one that had ALL the space for them plus guests, beautiful views, close to trails and amenities (yes, there are amenities in Colebrook NH) and started our offer and negotiations.
Seller's accepted our offer with little to no changes, edits or counter offers. It was exciting and nervewracking all at the same time. It was now figuring out the coordination of the move, new job starting soon, inspections and getting to the closing table.
Well, I am HAPPY to say that not only did we get through inspections unscathed, but appraisal and the clear to close all happened in under 30 days! My buyers signed on the dotted lines on October 23rd. From start to finish with a VA loan they were under contract and CLOSED in 25 days! Thanks to awesome Sellers, the listing agent Kim Hamel at RE/MAX Northern Edge, Stacey at Fairway and The Title Team for helping this Veteran Family find HOME!!
