Meet Adam & Lauren
Read about Adam and Lauren's journey. Kevin helped them find their dream home and negotiated a price under list price.
JUST LISTED!
244-21 Ruttan Street I met Adam a few years ago when he was a bachelor. He was coming from a rental and was on the hunt for his first condo. After a couple of months, we found him a great 1 bedroom + den condo in beautiful Liberty Village. He was very happy there with his cat Hunter, living the bachelor life.
Fast forward a couple of years and he met Lauren. Now the space was still comfortable for them but they were outgrowing the condo quickly. Adam also noticed that the market was not behaving how it usually is. The condo market was on fire while the housing market was actually slowing down. This was a perfect storm to make the jump from condo to house. I had a bunch of clients take advantage of this very rare time in the Toronto Real Estate Market and I even wrote a blog (READ THIS) on it.
"I hate to say it but Kevin was right."
We were first looking in areas far from the core as that was all the young couple thought they could afford. But again doing this move up from a condo to a house is actually our team's specialty. To make the jump easier on the wallet, we looked for homes that have basement rental opportunities. Read this BLOG about basement apartments. We finally found a great Victorian home in a great neighbourhood that they thought they could have never been able to afford. We found the listing on a long weekend and took advantage of the low number of buyers out looking and submitted an offer immediately. I was able to negotiate a price under list price (very rare in this neighbourhood) and got them a beautiful home.
"We ended up buying a house in our dream neighbourhood, which we didn't really think it was achievable."
Next we had to get their condo staged, marketed and onto the market. We didn't have a lot of time as we needed to take advantage of the hot condo market. Markets changes are unpredictable so we had to act quickly. Within a week we had their condo on the market and priced it for multiple offers. After a week of showings and 2 open houses, we were ready to accept offers. We ended up with a few offers to work with and the one we chose had an offer price beyond our wildest dreams. Obviously, we took it!
Check out the final product.
Now Adam and Lauren are completely moved into their new home. They did some nice renovations and found a lovely tenant. A new furbaby was added to the family, Cooper the cutest dog you will ever meet!
