The buyer and seller must have gone back and forth several times before coming to this random number…or there may have been a couple of bidders…but with the last list price at $2,495,000 the first scenario is more likely…
…and at $185,750 less than asking price, this is a perfect example that if you’re interested in a property, place an offer – unless you’re also working with the listing broker, you never know what the motivation, timing and other factors that exist on the selling side.
The owner had room to negotiate, having bought it at $1,375,000 in 2000, they expanded from 4 to 5 bedrooms, and did some updates in 2004…
The art of the deal transcends all businesses, and more so in real estate than in many other professions. For the client, it's often an emotional purchase or sale, rather than a simple commodity or luxury item. I make it my mission to have each side come to terms with a transaction that works for everyone. It's not always easy, but good things in life usually take effort - something from which I've never shied.
Licensed since 2009 as a real estate sales agent in CT & NY, I often work with clients on the border of both areas.
With sales and distribution experience for luxury designer products, and watching/reacting to the markets, my acumen for sales was established. Achieving success and contributing to the growth of many global apparel designer brands, such as Giorgio Armani and Paul Smith for over 20 years, it was time for a change. I wanted to explore another passion that would keep me in one location rather than traveling the globe.
Now I have the best of both worlds, a successful business as a fulfilling personal life. My husband and I have lived in back country Greenwich since 2003, where we enjoy easy access to great biking, hiking and golf. We love to ski and that's usually where our travel takes us.
Life is good in Greenwich!
